Lauer spotted alone

A fan spotted Matt Lauer walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of January 7, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Matt back on the market?

A rep for Matt Lauer was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the television host was splitting hit the internet Thursday (January 8), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Matt’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Lauer spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
