Today host Matt Lauer continues to make almost as much news as he reports, and that news is not of the positive sort. Nor has it been for some time. Just ask his long-suffering wife Annette Roque, about that. According to Radar sources, Lauer recently walked out on her , and their three children, amid rumors that the morning show staple was having an affair. The 56-year-old allegedly fled the family’s Hamptons estate, seeking refuge in their apartment in the city, during the pair’s blowout fight over the summer. The insider said a “bitter” dispute sparked their latest split after photos of Laure relaxing on a boat with a mystery blonde in the Hamptons were published. According to a supposed insider, he later begged “her back for the sake of their three kids” and the family was eventually reunited under the same roof. Sources familiar with the situation defended Lauer, however. “Yes, he was spending more time at the New York City apartment but that was because Savannah Guthrie was out on maternity leave,” one source said. “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 [Long Island[ on the weekends.” Either way, it hasn’t been a good month for Lauer, who took heat for his handling of Zayn Malik’s absence from a recent One Direction piece on Today. Actually, it hasn’t been a good couple of years for him, really. He’s got a good job, and Today still does alright, but ever since Ann Curry got axed, Matt has been on the business end of one tabloid headline after another. Lauer’s marriage has been the subject of several reports such as this, although he and Annette have always put forth a united front in their wake. Still, the bloom is off the morning show rose, you could say. Today Show Anchors With No Makeup 1. Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer: No Makeup!
