It is Hoda KochHow do you strike up a unlikely romance with an ex-colleague? One tabloid claims former Today Hosting Matt LauerHe has his sights set on Kotb, the newly-single. Here’s what we know about Kotb and Lauer’s friendship.

Matt Lauer ‘Leching’ On ‘Heartbroken’ Hoda Kotb?

This week, the Globe Hoda Kotb is reported to be in disarray since her split with Joel Schiffman. Her old friend Matt Lauer reached to offer his support and she found comfort in his company. Sources say that Kotb and her friends remain uneasy about the former. Today After a former NBC employee accused him sexual abuse, the show host was forced to leave the network.

“Hoda is still friendly with Matt and she has been the most sympathetic of his former colleagues,” an insider dishes. “To be fair to Matt, he does care about Hoda. But there’s no denying it’s a little creepy too, since they’re not exactly best buddies and his girlfriend would be none too happy if she found out… Matt’s been on the phone voicing his sympathies… Hoda’s pals are keeping an eye on it because they think he’s a real dog!”

Matt Lauer ‘Swoops In’ On ‘Hurting’ Hoda Kotb?

This is a completely absurd and offensive story. According to what we know, Matt Lauer blew his bridges at NBC after the network gave him his job to Hoda Koptb. We know that Kotb had a close working relationship with Lauer for years before the accusations came out, but Kotb stood with Lauer’s accuser, Brooke Nevils, once she came forward.

It’s offensive to both Kotb and Nevils to even suggest that Kotb would entertain any kind of romantic relationship with Lauer. Apart from the fact that Kotb recently ended an 8-year-long relationship with the father to her children, and Lauer is in a current relationship, it’s not likely that he would be interested in a romantic relationship with Lauer. It seems very unlikely that Lauer would ever reach out to Kotb. Even if Kotb were still in contact, we doubt that this tabloid would have any information.

The Tabloid On The ‘Today’ Show

This wouldn’t be the first time the Globe Invent drama for the cast Today show. Back in 2020, the outlet claimed Kotb’s then-fiance was thinking about calling off their wedding because he had “cold feet.” Of course, we know the didn’t really call off their wedding until this year. Then the magazine reported Kathie Lee Gifford was threatening to take Jenna Bush’s job on the show. The publication even alleged Kotb was “icing out” Gifford. The publication clearly stated that the Globe doesn’t really have any insight into the cast’s personal lives.
