<p>Ginger Zee is an American weather anchor, most famous for her work at ABC's "Good Morning America." She was born on January 13, 1981, in California, to Dutch parents Dawn Zuidgeest-Craft and Robert Zuidgeest. Her father learned English from watching the popular American sitcom "Gilligan's Island," and named his daughter "Ginger" after the character that appeared on the show played by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Louise">actress</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina_Louise">Tina Louise</a>. Ginger has a younger brother, Sean, and two half-sisters, Adrianna and Elaina Craft, from her mother's second marriage to Carl John Craft.</p>

<p>When Ginger was less than one year old, her family moved to Michigan. She graduated from Rockford High School in Rockford, Michigan, and went on to attend Valparaiso University in Indiana, the largest independent Lutheran University in the United States. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in meteorology, fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a meteorologist, which was inspired by a waterspout she saw on Lake Michigan.</p>

<h2>Marriage, Husband and Children</h2>

<p>Ginger Zee is married to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Benjamin Aaron Colonomos</a>, popularly known as "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Ben Aaron</a>," a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">television personality</a>. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Ben</a> works on the popular television show "Crazy Talk." When they first met, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Aaron</a> was working with NBC Universal's LXTV. Before their wedding, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Aaron</a> made a hilarious video showcasing how he met his future wife and how they overcame the challenge of dating despite being from two rival television channels. The video, available on the internet, showed <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Ben</a>'s funny side and was well-received by viewers, particularly when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Ben</a> used a male dummy as a stand-in for his future bride to show viewers how he proposed to Ginger.</p>

<p>After a long-term relationship with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Aaron</a>, the couple got engaged in 2013. They married on a beach in Petoskey, Michigan, in June 2014, where Ginger had spent every summer during her formative years. They held two ceremonies: one was a private event for their vows, and the second was a more public traditional event in front of 55 guests later the same day. Ginger Zee has taken on her husband's name privately; her legal name is <a href="/biography/ginger-zee">Ginger Renee Colonomos</a>, but she also retains her professional name, Ginger Zee, for public appearances.</p>

<p>After her marriage, Zee admitted that she was looking forward to parenthood at some point in the future and that both adopted and biological children could be a part of those plans. The public announcement that she was pregnant was made on June 29, 2015. When asked about her pregnancy on national television, the weather anchor replied, "The forecast for delivery is in December." She also mentioned that viewers of her show seemed to suspect that she was pregnant even before she announced it to them. Ginger and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Aaron">Ben</a> welcomed a son named Adrian Benjamin.</p>

<p>Ginger shows her social spirit every Wednesday when she talks to schoolchildren about weather and meteorology. She is an adjunct <a href="/biography/ginger-zee">professor</a> at her alma mater, Valparaiso University. In addition, Ginger has shot many episodes for Discovery Channel's popular show "Storm Chasers." By all accounts, she is a role model and not just your average "weather girl."</p>

<h2>Career/Pay</h2>

<p>After her graduation, Zee worked for various media outlets, including WEYI-TV, WLAV-FM, WOOD-TV in Michigan, and WMAQ in Chicago, Illinois. At this last NBC-owned station, she received her first big break when she was asked to fill in as a guest meteorologist on the weekend edition of "The Today Show," the fifth longest-running show in American television history. Being a part of this show fulfilled one of Ginger's lifelong ambitions, as she had declared during high school that she would present the weather on The Today Show before she was 30 years old.</p>

<p>In 2011, she made her first appearance on "Good Morning America Weekend," which gave her national prominence. Subsequent appearances on "Nightline" and "ABC World News" followed, and in 2013, ABC News announced that she would become the Chief Meteorologist for "Good Morning America" and the Weather Editor for ABC News. Ginger succeeded <a href="/biography/sam-champoin">veteran</a> <a href="/biography/sam-champoin">Sam Champion</a> in the role. During her maternity leave, Champion filled in for her after the birth of her son, Adrian, in January 2015. Zee and Champion share a perfect relationship, as her immediate predecessor, and she credits him for mentoring her. When Champion's show was canceled, her forecast for him on national television was, "Cloudy, with a 100% chance of sunshine."</p>

<h2>Networth/Salary</h2>

<p>Ginger Zee, an American TV personality, has a net worth of $2.5 million and earns an annual salary of $500,000.</p>

<h2>Health</h2>

<p>Ginger has had many successes in her life; however, she has also been faced with her share of challenges. When she was 22, Ginger was diagnosed with narcolepsy and depression. Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by an extreme tendency to fall asleep when in relaxing surroundings. This is a lifelong <a href="/biography/ginger-zee">disorder</a>, and the fact that Ginger has managed to build up her successful career while battling this condition is a testament to her inner strength.</p>

<p>Ginger is very vocal about this problem and is a member of "Wake Up Narcolepsy," a non-profit organization that helps people afflicted with the <a href="/biography/ginger-zee">disorder</a>. Ginger recently admitted that she needed professional psychological help because she realized she "needed to get to the bottom of the depression" that had affected her for nearly twenty years and understood "that it was time to commit to getting healthy." Since working with the professional, Ginger reports, "Life has never been the same in the best way, thanks to the simple exercises he taught me, and I am committed to practicing them."</p>
