The report pointed to the apparent lack of wedding ring on the hand of Roque, as the trio were seen together at a horse farm they own in Sag Harbor, New York, on the eastern end of Long Island.
Roque’s father earlier told reporters his daughter had ditched her wedding ring and was planning to divorce the disgraced former NBC anchor, who was fired from the network for sexual misconduct in the workplace.
Lauer and Roque were photographed at Bright Side Farm on Saturday, the horse training and riding facility that the two opened back in 2013.
It appeared the two were there to watch their daughter ride.They have three children together, son Jack Matthew (born in 2001), daughter Romy (born in 2004), and son Thijs (born in 2006).
While pregnant with Thijs, Roque had filed for divorce citing cruel and inhumane treatment and Lauer’s extreme anger and hostility towards her. She later reconsidered. The rumor was, according to another source, that Lauer offered her a postnuptial agreement that promised her up to $5 million for staying in the marriage.
“His office was in a secluded space, and he had a button under his desk that allowed him to lock his door from the inside without getting up. This afforded him the assurance of privacy,” Variety wrote.
In a statement read aloud at the start of the following day’s broadcast of the “Today” show, Lauer apologized for what he called his “troubling flaws.”
Lauer said in his statement that some of the accusations against him were “untrue or mischaracterized,” but that “there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed.”
