Matt Lauer Furious About Terms Of His 50M Divorce Settlement


“Matt is furious he is essentially handing over half of his net worth to Annette … He could fight for a better deal in court but that would only result in dragging this out longer and negative headlines … He is ready to move on with his life and truly believes that a television comeback is possible.” Whether or not such a comeback is even possible for Lauer remains to be seen over the coming months or years, but in the meantime, he will have to pony up the aforementioned $25 million cash payment, as well as their current house, their horse farm, and half the cost of supporting their three children, the latter not included in the terms of the actual divorce, as the source explains: “There will be no child or spousal support and they will split the costs for the kids. Lauer and Roque have been married since 1997, although Roque first filed for divorce back in 2006, when her filing on the grounds of  “cruel and inhumane” behavior was withdrawn after a few weeks’ time. Her more recent, and seemingly decisive, divorce filing came in January of this year, a few months after Lauer was let go from his Today job with NBC in November of 2017.
