Matt Lauer reunited with some of his old colleagues over the weekend.
On Saturday, Dec. 9, Lauer attended the wedding of longtime Today show producer Jennifer Long in New York City. Of course, Lauer wasn't the only Today veteran in attendance, as People reported Savannah Guthrie, Al Roker and Hoda Kotb were all present.
In fact, according to TMZ, Guthrie was seen giving Lauer—who attended the nuptials with girlfriend Shamin Abas—a hug and a kiss before the wedding ceremony began. Guthrie also attended the wedding with her husband, Michael Feldman.
This reunion comes six years after Lauer's ousting from Today amid a sexual misconduct scandal, which he previously denied as "categorically false."
Nonetheless, Guthrie had to break the news of co-anchor Lauer's firing, telling Today viewers in November 2017, "As I'm sure you can imagine, we are devastated and we are still processing all of this."
She continued, "And we are grappling with a dilemma that so many people have faced these past few weeks. How do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly, and I don't know the answer to that. But I do know that this reckoning that so many organizations have been going through is important, it's long overdue and it must result in workplaces where all women—all people—feel safe and respected."
Long's wedding to Reid Sterrett marks the first time Lauer has been photographed at the same event as Guthrie.
