Last week, Ginger Zee revealed she was taking a much-deserved break from GMA to enjoy some time with her family - and it sparked quite the reaction from her husband, Ben Aaron.
With outlets reporting on Ginger's upcoming absence, Ben seized the opportunity to poke fun at his wife and the headlines.
Alongside an article story which read: "GMA Meteorologist Ginger Zee Reveals She is Leaving Show," he wrote a lengthy, fictional caption teasing fans that his wife had disappeared to live her life as a Furry (someone who has an interest in anthropomorphic animals, or animals with human qualities).

"I had to look it up myself but apparently Furries, for folks that don’t know, are people who dress up and act like animals both realistic or cartoon. I am as shocked as you are. I also should have seen the signs."
Ben continued the joke as he wrote: "One day I came home and she was dressed like a dog chasing the mailman. Then there was the constant barking and peeing on the rug. I just chalked it up to menopause. And of course, her giant, recent stomach tattoo: Fur Life.

"All this time she just wanted to howl at the moon and hump a chew toy. I’m sorry this has to come from me, but again I can only contact her through high pitch whistling noises. Maybe one day she’ll come back to us."

Ben also posted a photo of a Furry in costume and his post left fans roaring with laughter. "Too funny ! Hope she’s not barking up the wrong tree," one chimed in as another quipped: "I love your humor."
Many added strings of crying with laughter emojis and called him "hilarious".
Fans of the couple love seeing Ginger and Ben's fun at-home antics which often involve their two adorable sons Adrian, seven, and Miles, five.
