It’s been quite some time since Matt Lauer was let go from the Today show, but the drama surrounding him just keeps rolling in. This time, the spotlight is on a rumored affair with none other than Giada De Laurentiis. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let’s break it down. Matt and Giada have had a history of working together on the Today show, and their bond has been under scrutiny for years. But recent whispers suggest that Giada might be in hot water with NBC because of her friendship—or maybe something more—with Matt. Let’s dive deeper into the details and see what's really going on.
When Their Friendship Hit the Beach
Back in 2011, the entertainment world was buzzing when Matt and Giada were spotted hanging out in Barbados. Now, this wasn’t just any ordinary vacation; they were spotted laughing, chatting, and seemingly enjoying each other’s company in the ocean. While the trip was officially for an NBC segment, it didn’t stop tongues from wagging. People were left wondering if there was more to their relationship than just a professional connection.

A Night Out in the City
Fast forward to 2013, and the pair was seen having what appeared to be an intimate dinner at Craig Koketsu’s Park Avenue Autumn in New York City. According to Page Six, who broke the story, the two were spotted enjoying a cozy evening together. While insiders claimed it was all business, it didn’t stop the speculation. Were they just colleagues catching up, or was there something more to their connection? This sighting only added fuel to the rumors swirling around them.
Giada Speaks Out
Giada eventually addressed the rumors when a story in Star magazine linked her romantically with both Matt Lauer and Bobby Flay. She was quick to set the record straight, stating that her relationships with both men were strictly friendships. “My long-time friendships with my co-workers Matt Lauer and Bobby Flay are exactly that — long-time friendships,” she firmly stated. It was her way of shutting down the gossip and clarifying her personal and professional boundaries.
