'Today Show' host Matt Lauer has reportedly moved out of his house after his wife of 12 years accused him of cheating while he was covering the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, The National Enquirer reports. The paper reports that Lauer's wife, Annette Roque, accused him of "fooling around during 'Today's' on-site coverage of the Olympics in Vancouver" and that Lauer "went wild" while in Canada. He allegedly moved out of the couple's apartment after an "explosive two-day fight."According to RadarOnline, Lauer stood his wife up for Valentine's Day, choosing instead to stay in Vancouver. Radar's sources claim he was spotted boozing and flirting with women -- including two young, Canadian broadcasters.
"There was lots of drinking and Matt was seen on-and-off with two women, both of them pretty Canadian broadcasters," the source said. "He was getting very flirtatious with them, and they seemed to be enjoying it."
Apparently, a wife of one of Lauer's NBC colleagues found out about his partying ways and called Annette. "She accused Matt of cheating," the source told RadarOnline. "He said the Canadian women were just friends and colleagues. He made the excuse that he'd stayed longer purely for business reasons. The fighting went on for two days, and finally Matt walked out."
Lauer's mother-in-law Johanna Struijk confirmed to RadarOnline that the couple are no longer living together, and Annette is not wearing her wedding ring.
This isn't the first time Lauer has been caught in a cheating scandal. His wife allegedly learned he was having an affair with a married woman back in 1998, just months before their wedding. In 2006, Annette, then pregnant with the couple's third child, filed for divorce but withdrew the divorce petition a month later.
For now, "Matt is trying to keep this [split] on the down low," a 'Today Show' insider said. On Thursday morning, he reported from Cannes, France where he attended the American Pavilion Ribbon Cutting during the 63rd Annual International Cannes Film Festival.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by the couple, The Enquirer did get John Edwards and Tiger Woods cheating scandals right.

Seems that not only sports and politicians have problems. NBC better get their act together before they have to eat this problem. Matt needs to behave when he is away from his family. even the hint of scandle needs to be watched. once before is once too many times.

Why should NBC care? Or more impotantly, why should YOU care?
Because Curious, you piece of dung, Lauer is one of those nasty progressive liberals and needs to have someone reach down his throat and rip his balls off. I hope that answers your question.
Did you notice he looks like his wife!
Jimbo - I hope somebody does to you that which you suggested on Matt you filthy mouthed conservative.
CURIOUS: more "impotently" ROFLMAO Some typos are simply BRILLIANT! Or was that a Freudian Slip? Either way, it's damn funny !
I honesty fail to see how politics is relevant to this whole issue. Am I to actually believe that it's only "progressive liberals" who cheat? What a joke.
I think it is about time that we started to mind our own business.
All married folks go through tough times.Most men AND women flirt from time to time,it used to be concidered an art! That doesn't mean they are following through with sex. We get busy and tied up in the every day and forget to make the one who is there everyday know that they are still special. Matt like most men of his age is probably asking
'Do I still have it?"

Well, cj, here's his answer: NO. Okay? Now he can man-up, grow a pair, and keep "it" in his pants.
Sounds like you could be a cheater !!!
what these people do is their own business and I resent the fact that they are always scrutnized.

LMAO,, Its always the 'goodie two shoes' that get caught cheating. Lets see,, Bryant Gumbel,, Montel Williams, now good ole Matt? The worst I though was Montel, he was always on the men who cheated on their wives, during his own talk show. the Montel was caught.
Good luck Matt.

Learn how to spell. If you are going to call us names, it's "liberal", you dolt.
What's a "leberal"? Oh, that's how a dumb person spells liberal.
I'm guessing that FRM stands for Freakin' Ridiculous Man. Learn how to spell, you moron!
