May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Apparently, Shamin Abas was not the first woman Matt Lauer dated after his marriage fell apart. "Since Matt's separation, he was quietly dating women, but hadn't been serious until now," a source revealed to ET in January 2020. The duo's long-standing friendship was the basis for their romantic relationship. "Shamin has been a longtime friend to Matt and it's no surprise they've started dating," the source said while adding that Abas "is a great match" for Lauer.

Although the former NBC personality is more high-profile than his girlfriend, Abas has enjoyed immense success running her PR firm that works "solely with ultra-luxury brands that cater to Very-High-Net-Worth and Ultra-High-Net-Worth individuals," per her website. Abas' successful career has made her an ideal partner for Lauer. "She is a dedicated businesswoman who loves to work. She is independent and has made a nice life for herself," a source told People on November 30. The PR executive has supported Lauer "in every way," as she has been unconcerned with how his previous scandal could impact her career.

Lauer and Abas have not been shy about making public appearances together. They attended a high-end car show together in July 2020, per the Daily Mail. In August, the couple attended an event in the Hamptons. Even though Lauer's ex-wife Annette Roque was at the same function, and stood only feet away from the couple, they managed to have a lovely Sunday afternoon together, per Page Six.
