Is 'Today' Show Host Matt Lauer Cheating on Wife With Whitney Houston's Sister?

Matt Lauer cheats on wife with whiney houston's half-sister alexis


Popular 'Today' show host Matt Lauer and his wife of 12 years, Annette, have split. Word on the street is that when Lauer was in Vancouver covering the Winter Olympics, he allegedly "bumped Uggs" with Whitney Houston's half-sister, Alexis Houston.

Houston, who also dabbles in music as a singer/songwriter/producer, met Lauer on the set of his show back in 2007. She accompanied Dionne Warwick, who had sung one of her hits for a segment on marriage. Reportedly, Warwick and the show's producers had some friction before the segment aired, and Houston squashed it. Lauer was apparently impressed with how Houston handled her cousin, sources told Hollyscoop.

The unidentified source went on to tell Hollyscoop that Houston continuously visited the set of the show. Tongues started wagging when Houston would coincidentally appear at charity events, where Lauer was also present. In March 2008, Lauer's staff booked accommodations and airfare for the young woman to accompany him to South Carolina. The source stated that they would often stay at the same hotel but on different floors. Eventually, the alleged lovers broke up late 2008 or early 2009.

The Winter Olympics might have rekindled the relationship, according to the source. When the TV host heard that Houston was also in Vancouver, he allegedly tried to reach her via publicists and stressed that he wanted to see her privately.

Houston's camp told TMZ, that the allegations are all false and that she never had any sort of relationship with Lauer and does not even recall meeting him.

Published reports state, though, that Lauer and his wife have been living apart for the past couple of months. There is also speculation that he is apartment searching in the Big Apple. Wife Annette is said to no longer be wearing her wedding ring.

And the plot thickens.
