Yes, Matt is indeed married to former model Annette Roque, and they’ve been together since their wedding day on October 3, 1998. As they approach their 20th anniversary, recent events have brought to light some unsettling revelations about Matt's behavior. Following his unexpected firing from the Today show, whispers of extramarital affairs began to circulate. One insider claimed, “It was an open secret around the office that Matt regularly strayed from his marriage.” They added, “His wife lives in the Hamptons while he resides in the city, but we never heard of him making inappropriate advances.” A former Today staffer corroborated this, stating, “It was common knowledge that Matt had a pattern of infidelity, though nobody expected anything like sexual misconduct.

Though Matt and Annette have been married for close to two decades, their relationship has had its ups and downs. Back in 2006, when Annette was pregnant with their third child, rumors swirled that divorce was imminent. In Touch reported that Annette had filed for divorce but later withdrew the lawsuit. The legal documents reportedly argued, “The defendant's [Matt] actions endanger the physical and mental well-being of the plaintiff [Annette], rendering cohabitation unsafe.” They further alleged, “Matt prioritized his personal interests over his family obligations, leaving Annette feeling abandoned and isolated.” Following the Today scandal, Page Six suggested that Matt and Annette have been leading separate lives for years. A source noted, “I’ve rarely seen Annette in Manhattan. Matt, on the other hand, is always out with his kids and seems very pleasant, but he’s never seen with Annette.” Additionally, it was claimed that Matt paid Annette $5 million to remain married back in 2006. “Matt needed to maintain his reputation as America’s favorite dad. While he’s a devoted father to his kids, he hasn’t been a great husband,” a source revealed.
