Matt Lauer spends holidays with new girlfriend

Matt Lauer is having no problem getting a successful and seemingly intelligent woman to think he could be a good man to date.

Page Six reports that the disgraced former “Today” host has been “spending time” with Shamin Abas, a “powerhouse publicist” and luxury-brand “marketing guru” who bears a strong resemblance to his ex-wife, Annette Roque. A source close to Lauer told Page Six, “Matt and Shamin have known each other for many years, as she spends a lot of time in the Hamptons, as does he. They very recently began dating, she is a lovely woman.”
