  • Did 'Today's' Matt Lauer Recently Walk Out on His Wife and Kids?

    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.

    NBC News has been having a rough week, especially after confirmation came that chief medical correspondent, Dr. Nancy Snyderman and her crew had violated a voluntary quarantine after returning from Liberia.

Her blame-passing apology hasn't helped the network either, leaving them in dire need of good news or at least something positive. Luckily, it has been confirmed that Savannah Guthrie will be returning to her Today Show anchor seat on Nov. 3.
