Shamin Abas: Matt Lauer Vacations in New Zealand for the Holidays with New …

Matt Lauer rang in the new year with some new company.

The former Today show anchor, 62, was spotted in New Zealand over the holidays, vacationing with his new flame Shamin Abas.

Though this is one of the first times that Abas and Lauer have been seen together in public, the duo have known each other and been friends for years.

Abas, a successful Welsh businesswoman, works in marketing and events around New York, including the Hamptons, and in Palm Beach, Florida.

“Both of them, their first thought is their children.”In July, however, Roque, 53, officially submitted the paperwork for divorce in Suffolk County, New York.
