Elizabeth Vargas has been grabbing more headlines in the last few years because of her personal problems than any of her work on ABC's 20/20 has garnered. She willingly went to rehab last year after admitting to being an alcoholic and then decided a second stint as an inpatient was necessary for her recovery this year. She is currently going through a divorce from her husband of 12 years, Marc Cohen, and according to sources there is a new man helping her through all the turmoil.
According to Page Six, WABC/Channel 7 station manager Dave Davis has often been spotted out and about in New York City with Vargas. The two have known each other for many years because of both working at ABC, and Vargas has trusted Davis's support while going through some difficult stuff. Cohen has said in the past that the issues in their marriage were longstanding but that he continues to support Vargas's addressing her problems and recovery, just as he always has.
Sources close to Vargas have said she and Davis are just friends and that she does not feel like this is the right time in her life to start anything new. Instead, she is remaining focused on her recovery.
Do you think Davis is really just a friend or is there a little more to it than that? Vargas decided to be honest about her addictions because she realized that her honesty and example might be able to empower others to face their own demons. The fact that she opted to go back to rehab just a few months ago shows that even for her it is a battle that is not easily won.
