Let’s face it—life hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park for Matt Lauer since his fall from grace. Nearly seven months after being unceremoniously axed from the Today show following allegations of sexual misconduct, and after his marriage to Annette Roque hit the rocks, Matt’s still navigating the rocky waters of life in the public eye. And if you thought things couldn’t get worse for the once-celebrated TV host, well, think again. Karma’s got a way of showing up when you least expect it.
For starters, Matt and Annette are still under the same roof—at least technically. They’re both holed up at their $36 million Hamptons compound, but they’re living in separate quarters. While Annette’s ensconced in the main house, Matt’s relegated to the guesthouse. And if that wasn’t awkward enough, she’s reportedly not too keen on him showing up when she has guests over. According to a source, during one of Annette’s recent gatherings, Matt was given a clear directive to steer clear. “Annette threw a party for her friends,” the source revealed. “Matt wasn’t allowed to go anywhere near it!” Can you imagine the tension in that household?

But wait, there's more! Matt's not just dealing with marital woes; his car troubles are adding insult to injury. Over the Memorial Day weekend, he reportedly racked up a series of parking tickets. A source told In Touch that Matt left an older car parked outside a Starbucks in East Hampton, NY, for about four hours—a no-no in that area. “You can only park there for a certain amount of time, and the cops had to call him to come get the car.” This little mishap didn’t just cost him some cash; it also added to the growing pile of stress in his life.
Physical Setbacks: A Bicycle Wreck and a Bruised Ego
And as if the parking tickets weren’t enough, Matt also took a tumble while riding his bicycle. The source shared that he had a minor accident, which left him with more than just a bruised ego. “He fell and messed up his face; apparently he has a big scrape.” Ouch! It seems like every time Matt tries to regain some semblance of normalcy, life throws him another curveball.
Trying to Mend Fences: A Puppy That Bit Back
Despite all these setbacks, Matt hasn’t given up on trying to mend fences with Annette. Sources say he even bought her a puppy in an attempt to soften the blow of their impending divorce. But as it turns out, the furry gift didn’t have the desired effect. Not only are the two still not speaking to each other, but the new pup reportedly bit Matt. “It bit him,” the source said. Talk about bad luck!
As Matt and Annette continue to sort out their differences, it’s becoming increasingly clear that their marriage might be beyond repair. But that’s not the only thing weighing on Matt’s mind. Selling their other Hamptons house, a sprawling 25-acre property, has proven to be a tough sell. He’s been trying to unload it since 2016, and despite dropping the original $18 million asking price multiple times, it’s still on the market. The current price tag? A cool $12.75 million. For the ultra-wealthy, it might be a steal—but for Matt, it’s just another reminder of the challenges he’s facing.
