STEVEN ROMO

Steven Romo is a news anchor, journalist, and writer. He’s currently a New York City-based correspondent for NBC News.

Born in Dallas and raised more by television than his parents, Romo fell in love with stories. It was stories that gave him the courage and hope he needed to escape a difficult upbringing.

Romo’s love of stories eventually led him to a passion for storytelling. He got his start in journalism at Texas A&M University, reporting for the school’s newspaper.

In 2021, Romo moved to NYC with his now-husband, meteorologist Stephen Morgan. Romo was then hired by NBC News as a full-time national correspondent. He has anchored breaking news coverage of several major stories, like Russia’s war on Ukraine, the first criminal charges against former President Donald Trump and more. His enterprise reporting has focused on a variety of issues affecting LQBTQ+ people, the Latino community, the underserved, and other marginalized groups. Romo was named Journalist of the Year for 2024 by NLGJA, the Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists.
