According to a Today show insider, the couple has been living apart for two months, and fed-up Annette is no longer wearing her wedding ring.
According to the Enquirer, Annette accused Lauer of cheating during the Today Show's on-site coverage of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Colombia, which occurred between February 9th - 26th.

Suspicions were first sparked when Matt stood Annette up for Valentine's Day, choosing instead to stay in Vancouver, where a source says Matt was often spotted boozing and flirting with women - in particular two pretty Canadian broadcasters.
To add fuel to the fire Matt decided to stay behind in Canada after the Today Show crew returned to New York at the end of the Olympics.

Annette, reportedly was informed of her husband's flirting by the wife of another staffer, got the names of the two female broadcasters he was spotted getting especially cozy with, and confronted Lauer upon his return home.

Lauer denied all accusations, insisting the women were just friends, but after two non-stop days of fighting finally moved out into his own digs.
This isn't the first time Lauer has allegedly cheated, two years after their 1998 wedding, Annette reportedly discovered Matt had carried on a secret affair with a married woman just months before their wedding!

In 2006, while pregnant with their their third child, Annette filed for divorce, feeling she could no longer trust her husband, but subsequently withdrew the divorce petition after one month.

According to the show insider, "Matt is trying to keep this [split] on the down low." In addition, sources say that Lauer's NBC bosses are pressuring the presenter to maintain his image as a solid family man to appeal to his largely female audience.
The source goes on to say, "Matt is still very involved in his children's lives. He goes to the family apartment after he finishes his Today duties to see the kids - and picks them up from school.
"For their sake, he and Annette plan to continue getting together on weekends - and they'll go to their house in the Hamptons."

He interviewed Jennifer Lopez earlier this year. He took a special interest in escorting her down the elevator and to the limo after the interview, holding her hand and getting his kiss in just before she got in the limo.

i don't watch him so i've never noticed that his head is so oval. is it really that oval or is this just a bad picture of him?

Hmmm, let's all remember all the times Matt Lauer has looked down his nose at other people, appalled by their actions. What goes around, comes around.

Astounding how many here feel that when a man cheats on his wife that he's cheating on his family. That's total BS. So many women say that as a means of involving their kids in something between only them and their husbands.

As much as I feel cheating is wrong, I don't feel a woman has the right to use the kids in this way. Men shouldn't lose their kids over that. When you tell a man he can't see his kids, you tell your kids they can't see their father - that's WRONG.

whenever a man or woman cheats they don't cheat on just their spouse. they cheat their family. they lie to their family. should children be kept from a parent because of cheating? no.

I can't speak for what went on during the olympics but I know for a fact he left Vancouver the Thursday before closing ceremonies. And because of that he didn't do the show from Vancouver on Friday. You should check your facts

And so they go out and have sex with various and usually younger women. They then lose their families and oftentimes their careers...and for what? For the excitement of having sex outside of their marriages. When will they learn?

I'll give him benefit of the doubt...but it seems like many of these celebrities who have spouses, kids & successful careers can't be happy with that...they seem to think it's not worth being faithful for...that there's something more. So sad.
