Who is Jack Matthew Lauer?

Jack Matthew ‘Matt’ Lauer was born in New York City, USA, on 26 June 2001 – his zodiac sign is Cancer, and he holds American nationality. He’s striving to become a popular guitarist, but for the moment he’s perhaps only known for being the son of Matthew Todd ‘Matt’ Lauer, a former TV news personality who spent many years working for NBC, and who was let go after having been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior.

Early life and education

Jack was raised in New York City alongside his sister Romy who was born on 2 October 2003, and their brother Thijs born on 28 November 2006, by their father, and their mother Annette Roque, who’s a famous Dutch model and equestrian.

Jack’s sister Romy wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps, and is already an avid horseback rider.

Jack became interested in playing the guitar when he was around five years old; his father often listened to music when at home, and he bought Jack his first guitar. Jack started watching tutorial videos on YouTube, and had already learned to play various songs by the time he enrolled at Boise High School in 2015. During his four years there, he was physically quite active, and played various sports, including soccer and football, while he started going to the gym at the age of 17.

He matriculated in 2019, and then enrolled at Dartmouth College, from which he should be graduating in 2023.

He gained recognition in 1992, when he joined NBC as a co-anchor of their show “Today in New York”; he went on to co-host many of their shows, including “Live at Five”, “The Today Show” and “Weekend Today”.

Between 1998 and 2011, Matt travelled around the world, and had his own segment “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?” in the NBC’s “Today Show”; he reported from numerous cities all around the world, each time from one of the most important city places.

It was revealed by NBC News on 29 November 2017 that Matt’s contract with them had been terminated, because a female employee had accused him of sexual assault, claiming that he had been molesting her since the 2014 Winter Olympics, in Sochi, Russia.

It has been said that Matt forced the girl to have anal sex with him in his hotel room, and that she later occasionally had sex with him without wanting to, but agreeing because she was afraid for her career. Since 2017, two other women have come fourth and claimed that Matt had sexually abused them.

This also influenced Jack’s marriage, as his wife officially divorced him on 7 September 2019; the two had separated two years earlier, around a week after he was accused of sexual harassment. For around half a year now, Matt has been in a relationship with Shamin Abas, a businesswoman who is the CEO of her own marketing company.
