Matt Lauer, former anchor of the iconic morning show Today, was recently spotted in Sag Harbor, New York with his girlfriend, Shamin Abas. The couple, known for keeping a low profile, were photographed together for the first time in months. This rare sighting comes after Brooke Nevils released her memoir detailing an alleged assault by Lauer in 2014.
Lauer and Abas were captured walking down the street bundled up after leaving dinner. Despite their preference for privacy, the couple occasionally makes public appearances together. They were seen smiling brightly at The Bridge VIII event in 2024.
In Nevils’ book, she bravely shared her experience of going to Lauer’s hotel room in Sochi, where she alleges he assaulted her. Lauer denies the allegations, maintaining that their relationship was consensual. NBC responded at the time of the initial allegations with a statement condemning Lauer’s behavior.
Lauer, who was previously married to Annette Roque for 19 years, began dating Abas in 2019. The former couple shares three children together. Abas has been a steady presence in Lauer’s life since his divorce.
The couple’s recent sighting in Sag Harbor has sparked public interest once again in their relationship. Despite the controversies surrounding Lauer, he and Abas continue to navigate their lives together in the public eye.
