Since Matt Lauer was fired from the Today show for "inappropriate sexual behavior," he has reportedly been "focused on family," and the ex-anchor issued a statement saying he is "truly sorry" and feels "sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions."
Today, Page Six reports that Lauer has agreed to pay his soon-to-be ex-wife Annette Roque up to $20 million in a divorce.
“Things really have settled down," a source says, sharing that the couple is separating on relatively good terms. "Matt and Annette are getting on and they’re both spending time with their kids. They hope to settle the divorce very soon.”
Earlier this year, People reported that Lauer's communication with Roque, was "heavily fragmented" even though Lauer "was still on the property where his wife of 20 years and three children are living in the Hamptons." The two were "barely speaking," a source told the celebrity magazine.
In April, Roque was spotted "taking time for herself" earlier this year in the Netherlands, where she was photographed in February having lunch with a female friend at Rijks, the restaurant at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. "They were drinking red wine, and Annette did not have her wedding ring on," a source said. "She was laughing through the whole lunch."
Here are a few things to know about Roque, Lauer's wife and the mother of his three children.
