Matt Lauer is moving on.
After finalizing his divorce from ex-wife Annette Roque, 53, in September, Lauer, 62, is now dating his longtime pal Shamin Abas, who runs a marketing firm, according to In Touch.
The outlet claims that the two embarked on a getaway in New Zealand just before the holiday. Lauer and Abas, 50, have known each other for over a decade.

“Obviously one thing led to another and they’re a full-fledged item now,” an insider told the magazine.
According to the source, the disgraced television host has been "on the prowl" for a new girlfriend following his divorce from Roque after 21 years of marriage.

“She knows who he is,” said the source. “She’s thrilled she’s with him. She doesn’t seem to have a care in the world. For everything he may have done, Matt’s very charming. I can see how Shamin fell for him.”
Lauer was fired from "Today" in 2017 after he was accused by several women of sexual harassment.
