Matt Lauer Reunites With Savannah Guthrie at 'Today' Show Producer's Wedding 6 Years After His Firing
Dec. 10 2023, Published 11:00 a.m. ET
Today show host Savannah Guthrie and former co-host Matt Lauer were seen together again in public for a wedding celebration six years after Lauer's firing, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The wedding was for Today show Special Projects producer Jennifer Long, who tied the knot with CEO Reid Sterrett. The event took place at the Union League Club in New York City.
Matt Lauer previously attended the wedding of Jennifer Long and Reid Sterrett.
Lauer's attendance at the wedding marked a rare reunion between him and his former colleagues after he was fired from the show in November 2017 due to allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Lauer was seen arriving at the event with his girlfriend, Shamin Abas. Abas wore a navy blue dress with strappy heels and a silver clutch, while Lauer donned a plaid suit paired with a pale blue button-down and navy tie.
Once inside the venue, Lauer reportedly introduced his girlfriend to the guests and had cordial and friendly exchanges with his former colleagues.
Guthrie, who arrived at the wedding with her husband, Mike Feldman, also appeared to be in high spirits. She waved at photographers and posed for selfies with guests during the reception.
Lauer was seen begging his Today show replacement Savannah Guthrie for help reviving his career at a wedding in January, eyewitnesses said.
It's unclear if Lauer and Guthrie had a direct interaction at the wedding, as their relationship was reportedly strained following Lauer's scandal.
According to a source, Lauer distanced himself from many of his former co-workers and friends after the scandal, even those who had stood by him. However, Lauer has since been living a quiet lifestyle and is said to be going strong with Abas.
Matt Lauer feels he is "owed an apology" for the allegations that got him fired from NBC in 2017 as he plans a media comeback, according to a new report.
Other Today show personalities were in attendance at the wedding. Hoda Kotb, Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones, and weatherman Al Roker also celebrated the couple's special day.
Kotb and Guthrie made a point of mingling with guests and capturing selfies, adding to the energetic and engaging atmosphere of the event.

The wedding also saw another high-profile couple, Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes, in attendance.
Robach and Holmes recently went public with their relationship after news broke that their exes, Andrew Shue and Marilee Fiebig, respectively, are now dating. According to insiders, Robach was upset by the timing of the news, as it coincided with the release of their podcast.
Robach and Holmes denied cheating on their former spouses, stating that they were already in the process of getting divorced when their relationship became public.
The couple made headlines in November 2022 when they were spotted together on vacation and at a bar while still married. They were eventually fired from their positions on the GMA3 show in January 2023.
