What is Matt Lauer up to now?

It is well-known that in 2017, Matt was terminated as the co-host of NBC’s Today show. The termination occurred after allegations about “inappropriate sexual behaviour in the workplace” surfaced against him.

It was reported at the time that the news outlet had ‘reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident.’

Matt’s termination was followed by a messy divorce from Annette Roque, who is now his ex-wife. The journalist ended up parting with $20 million in assets as a part of the settlement.

A source told OK Magazine that the journalist retreated to the Hamptons. It was also claimed that he has been having difficulty reintegrating into society.

“He tries to interact with people at events, but most people give him the cold shoulder. He has done everything to regain his place in the community,” the source further said.

At the moment, it is not clear if Matt is working on any professional ventures. However, given that his net worth is reported to be $80 million, we can guess that he is living comfortably at the affluent seaside location.

Journalist reportedly set to marry girlfriend Shamin Abas

Matt is currently in a relationship with Shamin Abas, who he started dating in 2019. The pair have known each other for a decade but have been romantically involved only in recent years.

Many fans have noticed that Shamin eerily resembles Matt’s ex-wife Annette. Reports suggest that Matt, who is the father of three, is set to marry Shamin very soon.

In her interview with Savannah on Tuesday, Katie admitted that it has been hard for her to come to terms with the disturbing allegations against Matt. The journalist, 64, said that she initially found them hard to believe.

“As I got more information and learned what was going on behind the scenes, it was really upsetting and disturbing,” Katie said.

She claimed that she had “really tried to excavate what had been going on.”

“And it was really devastating, but also disgusting,” she said.

The star insisted that the two have no relationship now.
