Matt Lauer living quietly in Hamptons as accuser details alleged 2014 rape

Matt Lauer is living a private life in the Hamptons eight years after being ousted from the "Today" show, but he returned to headlines after one of his accusers, Brooke Nevils, detailed the bloody aftermath of an alleged 2014 rape in an excerpt of her upcoming memoir obtained by the Cut.

Lauer, 68, has a 25-acre estate in Sag Harbor and sold a former Hamptons property in 2022 that he had bought from Richard Gere in 2016. He has maintained that his relationship with Nevils was 'mutual and completely consensual' and was fired from NBC in November 2017 over what the network called 'inappropriate sexual behavior' amid multiple accusations.

People reported in November 2025 that Lauer has been focused on spending time with his children — Jack, 24; Romy, 22; and Thijs, 18 — and that he is dating Shamin Abas, whom he began seeing in late 2019 after finalizing his divorce from Annette Roque. Page Six reported that Lauer has remained on cordial terms with some former 'Today' colleagues; an insider said he reunited with Savannah Guthrie at producer Jennifer Long's New York wedding in December 2023 and exchanged friendly remarks with Hoda Kotb, Al Roker, Craig Melvin and Sheinelle Jones.
