His parents met in July 1997 on a blind date and even though it was not a case of love at first sight, they had a sort of connection and as a result, started dating afterward. After five months, Jack’s dad popped the big question to his mom and she said yes. Moving forward, they got wedded in Water Mill, New York on 3 October 1998.

His paternal grandmother was a boutique owner while his paternal grandfather was a bicycle-company executive.

What Is Jack Matthew Lauer’s Relationship With His Dad?
The young man is the closest to his dad among his siblings. The bond between them goes beyond that of a father and son to that of buddies. They usually attend entertainment events together and are always seen together at games.
Jack Matthew Lauer and his father are both supporters of the New York Knicks and on several occasions, they have been caught on camera chatting, laughing and enjoying each other’s company. As a matter of fact, it was his many appearances with his father that drew the attention of the media to him.
When Matt Lauer’s two-decade-long career at NBC was terminated due to an allegation of sexual misconduct, he was more concerned about not losing his relationship with his son than his wife. Consequently, Matt reportedly drove to Jack’s prep school, which is outside New York City, to have a man-to-man conversation about his scandal.
According to a source close to the former media personality, what first came to Matt’s mind was that he needed to explain things to Jack face to face because it would be more painful if he reads about it on the internet.
