It's been eight years since Matt Lauer was forced out of the spotlight following allegations of sexual misconduct. During that time, his three children have managed to mostly stay out of the limelight. Lauer married Dutch model Annette Roque in 1998. The couple went on to welcome sons Jack and Thijs and daughter Romy. Once Lauer's alleged misconduct made headlines in 2017, he was fired from NBC after being a host on the network for more than two decades. (Lauer was accused by a female colleague of inappropriate behavior during NBC's coverage of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, three years prior.) Lauer said in a statement at the time that he was "truly sorry" for the "pain I have caused others by my words and actions," but the fallout from the scandal poisoned his career and affected his romantic relationship. Is Matt Lauer Still Married? His and Annette Roque's Relationship Timeline Roque filed for divorce in July 2019 and Lauer since has worked hard to rebuild his connection with his kids. "He is on good terms with his kids, which was the most important thing for him," a source exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2024. "This was not always the case post-divorce but now he's good with the kids." Scroll down for everything we know about Lauer's children: Jack Lauer Jack Lauer. Matt Agudo/INSTAR Images Lauer and Roque welcomed their first child, son Jack, in June 2001. "Becoming a dad gave me perspective; it brought balance to my life," Lauer told Good Housekeeping in 2007. The following year, Lauer told his Today cohosts that his eldest son was a "sports fanatic," with whom he frequently attended games with in New York City. The pair was spotted at the New York Knicks games and New York Rangers games over the years. "All he cares about is sports. Baseball in the summer, basketball in the winter, football in the fall. He loves it," Lauer said of Jack in 2008. As an adult, Jack has managed to stay out of the public eye. He doesn't have a public social media account and hasn't popped up on sister Romy's profile in recent years.

She was born in October 2003. Romy made her TV debut at 3 years old when her father read her a story on a special episode of Sesame Street. Over the years, Romy has focused on horseback riding, having competed in jumping and other events since she was young.

Romy has been dating University of Miami tennis player Antonio Prat since April 2023, according to her Instagram. "Happy to live by your side. 730 days.

Thijs Lauer Thijs Lauer. Monica Schipper/Getty Images for Paramount Pictures Studios Lauer and Roque's youngest child, son Thijs, was born in November 2006. Thijs is pronounced "Tice," and is a common Dutch name short for Matthijs (a.k.a. the Dutch equivalent of Matthew.) Roque is from the Netherlands and Lauer's full name is Matthew, so Thijs is a nod to both parents. Thijs was born two months after Roque filed for divorce from Lauer in September 2006, citing "cruel and inhumane" behavior. She withdrew her petition three weeks later, but the pair split for good in 2019. Thijs has remained out of the spotlight during his teenage years and into young adulthood. He has a social media account, but it is private. Thijs, however, was spotted in a photo from a trip to Mongolia in 2023, which his sister, Romy, posted on her Instagram. According to his Instagram bio, Thijs is a student at Boston College. Thijs was highlighted in June 2025 via Boston College 2030's social media page, where he shared he was living in Switzerland at boarding school for three years before returning to the U.S. for college. "I'm a Swiss ski instructor (love to ski) and like [to] go to the gym," the profile read.
