Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie Reunite at Wedding, Years After 'Today' Show Scandal
The former co-hosts, who had a complicated relationship, shared a cordial moment six years after Lauer's high-profile dismissal from the show.
- Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie, former co-hosts of the 'Today' show, reunited at a mutual friend's wedding in December 2023, more than six years after Lauer was fired from the show due to allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior.
- Lauer has reportedly 'iced out' many of his old friends and colleagues since his firing, and has been living a 'very quiet lifestyle' with his girlfriend, Shamin Abas, whom he has been dating since 2019.
- Guthrie, who had a complicated relationship with Lauer during their time as co-hosts, was visibly shaken by the news of Lauer's firing in 2017 and has since stood firmly with victims of sexual assault.
- Lauer was the highest-paid talent in television news at the time of his dismissal, and his firing was a shock to many, including Guthrie and fellow 'Today' star Hoda Kotb.
- When Guthrie celebrated her 10-year anniversary at the helm of 'Today', Lauer was notably absent from the tribute, indicating the extent of their estrangement.
