Inside Matt Lauer’s Life Of Isolation Post #MeToo Scandal

“Matt doesn’t really socialize much with his friends anymore,” a source told People. “He’s been staying close to home and focusing all his energy on the kids. If he does go out, it’s for them.”

The 60-year-old and his estranged wife Annette Roque are still working on the terms of their divorce. For now, they still live together with their kids Jack, 17, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11. She filed for divorce once in 2006, citing “cruel and inhumane” behavior, but she withdrew the petition three weeks later.

The former couple were spotted at the Hamptons Classic last month. Matt talked to friends and enjoyed a hot dog. He seemed to be in good spirits.

Around the same time, reports circulated that he was telling fans he would soon be back on the air. Radaronline.com reported yesterday, September 12, that he’s trying to poach staff from Today to work on a new show.

The former host has been quiet since his firing, except for one interview he gave to a New Zealand radio station about a legal issues he’s having with that country’s government. He claimed he was being taken advantage of because of the allegations.
