Inside Matt Lauer's Life Post-'Today' Show Firing
Matt Lauer is adjusting to his new life after the Today show.
After he was fired from the news program last November amid allegations of "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace," the 59-year-old former co-anchor has been keeping the focus on his family. Now, ET's breaking down what he's been up to since the firing.
In the past few months, Lauer has seemingly developed a routine with his wife, Annette Roque, and their three children, Jack, 16, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11. The New York City native has been spotted dropping off and picking his kids up from school multiple times, which has become a regular activity.
Lauer typically starts his day with breakfast that he frequently picks up from Jimmy Jims Deli in Sag Harbor. Their breakfast menu features a variety of items, like strawberry yogurt, egg sandwiches, omelets, baguettes and french toast, all of which are under $10.
"Matt is a good customer of ours," a source from the deli told ET last month. "He's a really nice guy."
Lauer has also been spotted picking up lunch in the area, which he often brings to his kids for lunch. On Monday, he ordered a wood fire pizza and a bag of pita chips from Harbor Market and Kitchen. The pizzas, prepared by award-winning chef Paul Del Favero, range from classic pepperoni to wild mushroom and sweet Italian sausage.
"Lauer regularly drops off lunch for his kids a couple times a week," an eyewitness shared. "He has certain days for the school run and is spending time between two houses."
Later in the day, he usually heads to the horse farm he shares with Roque. The two were seen there together on Monday amid reports that she had kicked him out of the house that they had been living in together.
"They both arrived at 10:55 a.m., but in separate cars," an eyewitness tells ET. "The kids were not with them. They were both there for about an hour and a half before leaving in separate cars."
Despite their latest meet-up, it doesn't appear that Roque has any plans to stay with Lauer. When she was photographed entering a New York City law firm last month, she was no longer wearing her wedding ring. The pic was snapped the same week her father, Henri, told Daily Mail that Lauer and his daughter "are not together trying to work it out." Lauer has also recently been photographed without his wedding ring.
At the time of Lauer's firing, a source told ET that family was his number one priority. “His only focus right now is his family," the source explained. "He’s with them in the Hamptons and he's working on keeping a low profile while he deals with this tough situation."
