Matt Lauer Divorce Turns Into Joke On Today Show

Matt Lauer is not as successful when it comes to marriage. Lauer’s first marriage ended in divorce, and his second wife once filed for divorce before she withdrew the papers. When Viera mentioned the marriage comment, Lauer gave an embarrassed look and pause, as he smiled into the cameras.

Matt Lauer’s marriage has been the source of tabloid fodder this year, as the Star reported that his wife Annette Rogue “had a huge smile on her face and no wedding ring on her finger!” The magazine questioned whether Lauer’s wife was grinning because she and Matt were ending “their troubled marriage – again.”The couple has been married for 7 years and has three children. Rogue, the former Dutch model originally filed for divorce in September 2006, but changed her mind and withdrew the papers a month later. If the two divorce, Matt would be forced to share his estimated $50 million fortune.

At the time of the September divorce filing, Lauer’s wife was pregnant with their third child, and the tabloids were having fun at the expense of Matt Lauer’s marriage troubles. Even when there were reports of a pending divorce in the Lauer household, Lauer denied there was trouble, even saying he and wife Annette had been on a skiing trip.The troubled marriage co-anchor of the Today show has been with the show since January 6, 1997. He started out as a news anchor in January 1994 and has conducted many news worthy interviews. He made headlines when he racked up exclusive interviews with the two individuals directly involved in the Scott Peterson investigation. Matt Lauer, divorce or not, remains one of the shining stars of the Today show.
