Leslie Odom Jr. says he’s quarantining from his expecting wife Nicolette Robinson and daughter Lucy after his recent appearance on Ellen after the daytime host recently tested positive for the coronavirus.
The Hamilton star appeared in a socially-distanced segment with Ellen DeGeneres a day before she registered a positive test for COVID-19.
‘First and foremost, I hope Ellen is well, I haven’t spoken to her, obviously I hope she’s doing okay,’ the New York City native, 39, said in a remote appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna.

He said that he, his wife, 32, and their three-year-old daughter were ‘getting our tests every day for the next 10 days, and quarantining from each other’ as a safety precaution amid Nicolette’s pregnancy.
‘The virus can affect pregnant ladies differently, so anywhere, we’re doing our best,’ Odom said. ‘I’ve got my mask in the house. You know, I’m double-masking in the house.’
The couple took to Instagram last month to inform fans that they were expecting a boy.
Ellen, 62, last week said that she’d tested positive and was her Montecito, California mansion. On Wednesday, said she was back to ‘100 percent’ amid a case of ‘excruciating back pain.’
