Annette Roque, born in December 1966, is a former fashion model known for her striking beauty and mixed Dutch-Indonesian heritage. While she gained recognition in the modeling industry, she became more widely known due to her high-profile marriage to television host Matt Lauer. Roque has maintained a private personal life, and little is known about her upbringing or early years before she entered the modeling world. She was regarded as a top-tier model during her professional peak and worked under the pseudonym “Jade Roque.”
Annette Roque met Matt Lauer on a blind date in the late 1990s. At the time, Lauer was already a prominent figure in American television, best known as a co-host of NBC’s Today show. The couple married in 1998 and went on to have three children together. Due to her relationship with Lauer, Roque became a public figure in her own right, though she largely avoided media attention and preferred a life out of the spotlight.
Despite their seemingly idyllic public image, Roque and Lauer's marriage faced serious challenges. In 2006, Roque filed for divorce, citing “cruel and inhuman treatment,” though the filing was later withdrawn. During this period, rumors circulated about Lauer’s alleged infidelities, including unconfirmed speculations involving public figures such as Alexis Houston and Natalie Morales. Some tabloids claimed that Morales had become pregnant by Lauer, though both she and NBC denied those allegations.
Roque briefly spoke out about the difficulties in their marriage, but the couple attempted reconciliation, and she withdrew the divorce petition. For several years, they continued to present a united family front and were often seen together at public events and with their children.
