Matt Lauer's First Wife Nancy Alspaugh Thinks Her Ex Deserves a "Second Chance" After 'Today' Firing
Someone is team Matt Lauer — and that's his first wife, Nancy Alspaugh. The 63-year-old recently sat down for an interview with Entertainment Tonight and shared she thinks the estranged journalist, who was fired from Today after sexual harassment allegations in November, "needs to be given a second chance." In fact, she wants people to look at the good in Matt — like what a loving father he is to his three children, Jack, 17, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11. "Matt has always been a support to his family and loved ones," she explained. "He has done so much quietly to help others and to support important causes. He donated a tremendous amount to my autism charity, Act Today. Many people don't know that through all his hard work, he has been able to give back and has made a difference in this world. Matt never did this for the thanks and would like nothing...

Disgraced former Today host, Matt Lauer and estranged wife Annette Roque have not made a divorce announcement yet, a source tells In Touch, due to negotiations over money. The source also confirms to In Touch the couple have a prenup. "Annette could end up with half of everything," says a second source. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Matt, who's estimated to be worth $100 million and made $25 million a year at NBC, has already unloaded their NYC apartment for $7.35 million. Their $36.5 million Hamptons mansion is still for sale. But the biggest blow to the disgraced former anchor will be if his children, Jack, 16, Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11, pull away from him. "Matt’s afraid Annette will reveal things she never has before and that his kids will lose respect for him," the second source tells In Touch. "This is his nightmare."

More than five months after disgraced journalist Matt Lauer was fired from the Today Show following sexual misconduct allegations against him, and people are still talking about it — including his former co-anchor, Ann Curry. According to a new report from the Washington Post, the 61-year-old warned NBC about Matt's behavior years ago. "A woman approached me and asked me tearfully if I could help her," Ann told the publication. "She was afraid of losing her job... I believed her." Since coming out with the bombshell report, Matt released a statement following his months long silence in the public eye. "I fully acknowledge that I acted inappropriately as a husband, father, and principal at NBC," Matt said. "However I want to make it perfectly clear that any allegations or reports of coercive, aggressive, or abusive actions on my part, at any time, are absolutely false."

Almost two months after he was fired by NBC for alleged sexual misconduct, Matt Lauer continues to lie low in the Hamptons.
The former Today show anchor stepped out to pick up pizza and a bag of chips in Sag Harbor on Monday afternoon. Earlier in the day, he and his wife Annette Roque were photographed at Bright Side Farm, their 40-acre equestrian facility in the area, according to the Daily Mail.
Lauer, 60, was not wearing his wedding band. People confirmed in December that he and Roque had removed their rings — though a source said Lauer was “fighting to save the marriage.

In the wake of Matt Lauer's firing from the Today show after being accused of "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace," it remains unclear where things stand with his longtime wife, Annette Roque.
The former morning show host married the Dutch-born model in 1998 in Bridgehampton, New York, and the couple has often put up a united front in public, despite facing years of tabloid rumors of Lauer allegedly having affairs.
"I go home and live my life and with my family and, you know, smile when I read some stuff and laugh," Lauer said at the Unicef Snowflake Ball in 2005, with Annette adding, "And cry."
"As long as my kids and our family and our friends know the real story, that's all we care about," Lauer noted.

The two were last seen publicly with each other in September, heading to lunch in New York City.
