Matt Lauer and his girlfriend, Shamin Abas, were spotted attending Don Lemon's wedding in New York City. The couple was seen holding hands outside Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Midtown Manhattan. Lauer, 66, was dressed in a navy suit jacket and a white-and-blue striped shirt, while Abas wore a rust-colored striped dress and red cardigan.
They were among the 140 guests at Lemon and Tim Malone's wedding, which included celebrities like Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Alec Baldwin, Luann de Lesseps, and Tamron Hall. The group later celebrated at Polo Bar after the church ceremony.
Lauer and Abas have been dating for five years and were last seen together at a wedding in December 2023. Lauer, who was fired by NBC in 2017 for inappropriate workplace conduct, has since been living a quiet life in the Hamptons. However, there have been reports suggesting that he may be interested in making a comeback.
His former co-anchor, Savannah Guthrie, expressed her shock and sadness at the news of Lauer's firing on the 'Today' show. She described him as a dear friend and partner, while Hoda Kotb, another co-host, mentioned that it was difficult to reconcile the allegations with the person they knew.
