No other news reader seems to be dogged with rumors quite like Today's Matt Lauer. His 16-year marriage to Annette Roque has been plagued with rumors of Lauer's continued skirt-chasing and her instability. As it stands now, the couple are parents to three children and are rarely seen out in public together. In fact, there is speculation that Lauer and his wife split for a while this past summer after new allegations of an affair were made.
According to a report by Radar Online, Roque and her children spent the summer in the Hamptons, and even though NBC gave Lauer access to a helicopter to get back into the city faster for work, he instead chose to reside in the couple's New York City apartment. At that same point in time, Lauer was allegedly spotted out and about with a woman who was not Roque. Supposedly, the couple took a short break and then Lauer begged to come home for the sake of their kids.
Of course, sources close to the morning show anchor claim that his reasons for living alone in the city were completely work-related.
"Yes, he was spending more time at the New York City apartment because Savannah Guthrie was out on maternity leave. Matt didn't take any time off for three months, and it was just easier for him to be in the city. He always tried to make it back to the family home in Long Island on the weekends," says Radar's source.
What do you think? Was this another instance of Lauer doing whatever it is that he felt like doing without any real repercussions, or do you believe he actually was working and is quite loyal to his wife? Is Lauer just a chronic victim of rumors and innuendo?
