Breaking Up the Lauer Household
It’s been nearly a year since Matt Lauer, the former co-host of the Today show, was let go from NBC following serious allegations of sexual misconduct. Now, it seems his personal life is unraveling just as dramatically as his professional career. According to insiders, Matt’s marriage to Annette Roque is officially hitting rock bottom, with Annette taking decisive action to move forward with their divorce.
In a candid conversation with In Touch, a source revealed that Annette has finally drawn a line in the sand. “Annette officially kicked Matt out of the house,” the insider said. “For months, they’ve been living in separate wings of their sprawling Sag Harbor, NY home, where they were raising their three children. This uneasy truce has been in place since Matt lost his job at the Today show. But now, Annette has set a firm deadline. She told Matt he had to vacate the premises by the time the kids started school. And that’s exactly what happened—Matt’s out.”
Still Close, but Not Too Close
While Matt, now 60, may no longer have a key to the family home, it seems he hasn’t ventured too far. Sources indicate that he’s moved into a nearby property in the Hamptons, ensuring he remains close to his children. “He’s staying in a property close to their main house,” the insider elaborated. “He’s only allowed in the main house when Annette isn’t there. He goes to pick the kids up from school or drop them off, but that’s the extent of it. Annette has been crystal clear—Matt is not permitted to step foot into the house while she’s around.”

It’s clear that Annette, 51, is making an effort to ensure Matt can maintain a relationship with their three children—17-year-old Jack, 15-year-old Romy, and 11-year-old Thijs. However, the kids remain under her full-time care. “The kids live with Annette,” the insider confirmed. “She’s the primary caregiver, and while Matt loves them deeply and stays involved in their lives, they’re firmly rooted in the main house with their mom.”
A Fall from Grace
Matt’s fall from grace began in November 2017 when NBC announced his termination following a formal complaint alleging inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace. The scandal shocked the world and left a lasting mark on the Today show, as well as Matt’s personal life. Since then, Matt’s life has been in turmoil, both professionally and personally.
As the drama unfolds, fans of the Today show are left wondering what’s next for Matt and his family. For updates on the latest news and behind-the-scenes stories, join our Facebook group dedicated to all things Today!
