Matt Lauer is cheating, according to the New York Daily News , and it has something to do with the recent Vancouver Winter Olympics. The charms of curling ensnared NBC Sports broadcaster Tiki Barber previously; add the romantic fire of the luge and these helpless men are putty. Yes, Matt Lauer, 52, allegedly cheated on his Dutch supermodel wife Annette Roque while he was in Vancouver covering the Winter Games. According to the National Enquirer, Lauer and Roque have split over these allegations, possibly ending their 12-year marriage and placing Lauer in a very difficult financial situation where he might need more than a installment payday loans to pay his attorney’s fees, alimony and child support.
Matt Lauer’s cheating points to a checkered history
Was Matt Lauer considered a cheater before? That isn’t really entirely clear, but his relationship history has its bumps. The Matt Lauer Wikipedia page explains that he was married from 1982 until 1989 to TV producer Nancy Alspaugh. That marriage ended in divorce. From 1989 to 1996 he dated Kristen Gesswein, TV newscaster, and got engaged. Of course that engagement was broken, because two years later, Matt Lauer married Annette Roque, aka “Jade.” Roque has appeared in ads for Victoria's Secret and Revlon along with others. When she was pregnant with their third child, they were separated and even on Sept. 13, 2006, filed for divorce. They made up before it became official, perhaps because Lauer saw a future where he wouldn’t be able to maintain his “Today” show jet-set lifestyle.
On Valentine's day, he stood Annette up
That’s a dead giveaway, as far as women are concerned. Matt Lauer partied after his duties at the Vancouver Games were complete, and as the Daily News puts it, he “caught the eye of two good-looking Canadian broadcasters.” Annette was ready for a showdown as he got back. Verbal shots were fired, and now the ring on Annette’s finger is nowhere to be seen. Matt Lauer and Annette Rogue have 3 children together: 8-year-old son Jack, 6-year-old daughter Romy and 2-year-old son Thijs (pronounced “tice”).
Keeping it on the down low
That’s what the NBC and the “Today” show are demanding of Matt Lauer and his cheating ways (or alleged cheating ways). They believe his audience wants a family man. And as everybody knows, television is all about appearances. Al Roker seems to everybody a kind weatherman and interviewer, but for all we know, he could possibly be a super villain. Viewers have no real way of knowing, thanks to the illusion of television. Although Matt Lauer might seem the family man on TV, his real life is a lot more complicated.
