By    |   Monday, 13 April 2020 08:43 AM EDT

George Stephanopoulos, co-host of ABC's "Good Morning America," confirmed on the show Monday morning that he was diagnosed with COVID-19.

He said he was not experiencing major symptoms after his wife, Ali Wentworth, also contracted the novel virus.

“I’ve never had a fever,” Stephanopoulos said, the New York Post's Page Six reports. “Never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath.”

He said the diagnosis  is “really no surprise,” given his wife's case.

But he's been “basically asymptomatic.”

“I’ve never had a fever, never had chills, never had a headache, never had cough, never had shortness of breath,” Stephanopoulos, 59, said.

Wentworth, 55, is now doing “much, much better,” Stephanopoulos said.
