0:00It's March 25th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Former today's show host, Matt Lauer, stepped out publicly for the first time in months with his girlfriend, Shaman Abbas. The pair were spotted walking arm and arm in Sag Harbor, New York on March 23rd. This marks Lauer's initial appearance since one of his accusers released a memoir last month about an alleged sexual assault from 2014. The couple has stayed mostly private since they began dating in late 2019. That came right after Lauer's divorce from his ex-wife Annette Roke, with whom he shares three kids, aged 24, 22, and 19. They run a public relations firm together and keep things low key. Lauer faced major fallout in 2017 when NBC fired him over reports of inappropriate sexual behavior. Network leaders at the time called it a pattern that went beyond one incident. The scandal ended his long career at the network after more than two decades.

This recent walk shows they're still together amid the ongoing attention. For now, the 68-year-old and his 56-year-old partner seemed focused on a quiet life away from the spotlight.
