GOOD Morning America host, George Stephanopoulos, was a 'rockstar' caretaker to wife Ali Wentworth during her three-week coronavirus battle.
Little did the couple know that he was also positive for the virus but was, for the most part, asymptomatic.
On Tuesday night, Jimmy Kimmel interviewed the Good Morning America host just two days after he revealed he had tested positive for COVID-19.
While Ali was in bed for three weeks and confined to their bedroom for "16 days", George told Jimmy he only had a bit of back pain one night and had lost his sense of smell for "about a day".
He further explained: "I've never had a fever, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath."
The news anchor also explained that he only got tested because he wanted to make sure that he was "absolutely negative" after his wife had come down with the virus.
He even said that the technician who had tested him was also surprised because he hadn't shown up with a fever or shortness of breath.
Because he's been feeling healthy, George has been working from the comfort of his dining room.
George's wife, Ali, also joined the interview and talked about her symptoms and how she's doing much better now.
She jokingly told the late-night show host: "It's very indicative of our lives – I get coronavirus and I'm deathly ill for three weeks with a high fever, sweating, and achy and going crazy and George gets it and he has no symptoms."
She even dived into her husband's caretaking skills and praised him: "He instinctively knew when I needed to have my temperature taken.
"He didn't have to like bathe me or anything. He brought me food and chicken soup and lemonade. He was actually a rockstar."
On Monday, George revealed he has tested positive for coronavirus and had apparently caught it from his wife.
The news anchor – who shares two daughters with Ali – had been caring for her throughout her battle with coronavirus.
He said it was "no surprise" that he'd caught the virus, but insisted he's "feeling great" and has no symptoms unlike his wife.
The presenter said: "I learned over the weekend that my test came back positive which is no surprise given the fact that I've been here for a couple of weeks.
"I'm one of those cases that are asymptomatic – I’ve never had a fever, never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath."
He added: "I’m feeling great."
ABC revealed the veteran news reporter will continue anchoring Good Morning America from his home and wished him a "healthy and speedy recovery."
George's announcement comes a week after the death of GMA cameraman Tony Greer from coronavirus.
Ali, 55, confirmed on March 31 that she had tested positive for the coronavirus and has "never been sicker."
Taking to Instagram, Ali shared a selfie of herself in bed alongside her dog to showcase how ill she was.
Looking downcast in the shot, she wrote in the caption: "I have tested positive for the coronavirus.
"I've never been sicker. High fever. Horrific body aches. Heavy chest. I'm quarantined from my family.
"This is pure misery."
The Jerry Maguire star received a flood of well wishes from her famous friends as they shared their support under the post.
George revealed a day before her diagnosis that he was broadcasting from their home after she began to develop symptoms of COVID-19.
