Matt Lauer’s Girlfriend – Shanin Abas Wiki (Bio, Age, Height, Family, Dating)
Shanin Abas is a successful Businesswoman. However, she is not popular because of her exploits in the business world. On the contrary, she is popular because she is in a relationship with Matthew Lauer, the former co-host of Today show between 1997 and former television news anchor.
Although it did not seem like Shanin and Matthew were ever going to become an item, the couple came together after Matthew’s wife divorced him over issues of him sexually assaulting a colleague at work. After getting divorced from his ex-wife, Matthew did not waste any time before heading into the market searching for a new partner, and he found one in Shanin Abas.
Although Mathew is sometimes described as a ‘disgraced television host,’ it seems Shanin is so in love with him and does not care about people’s perception of him or his past.
