Lawrence O’Donnell And Tamron Hall’s Affair Was Rumored Even Before His Divorce
Since divorcing his wife, Lawrence O’Donnell, a 67-year-old MSNBC personality, hasn’t been the same. The end of his nearly two-decade-long marriage has left the Boston native grappling with the aftermath.
From surviving a near-death experience while on vacation with his brother to enduring the scrutiny of a widely circulated video capturing a workplace meltdown, O’Donnell’s life after divorce has been marked by mishaps and challenges. Despite this, Tamron Hall, a former MSNBC colleague rumored to have a relationship with him, emerged as a beacon of hope when she expressed her desire to start a family.
The End of Married Life With Ex-Wife Is Followed By Tragedies & Mishaps
Should Lawrence and his reported girlfriend decide to start a family, the transition into parenthood would likely be smoother for him. This is because the 67-year-old novelist and TV broadcaster already has a daughter, Elizabeth Buckley Harrold, with his ex-wife Kathryn Harrold.
Lawrence and Kathryn, who is 71 years old and known for her role in “Nightwing,” tied the knot in 1994 after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance in New York. However, their marriage ended in 2013 after 19 years.
Kathryn was a significant presence in Lawrence’s life, serving as a sort of good luck charm. This is evident in a series of events following their divorce. Less than a year later, Lawrence and his brother were involved in a drunk driving accident while vacationing in the Virgin Islands, where they were passengers in a taxi. Following this, Lawrence remained relatively inactive for three years until a video capturing his breakdown on his program set was released in September 2017.
This release occurred shortly after Lawrence signed a new contract with MSNBC, guaranteeing him a $4 million income under the terms of the agreement. Lawrence, who has an estimated net worth of $16 million, continues to navigate both personal and professional challenges.
Tamron Hall Is Dating: Former MSNBC Personality Is Open To Having Children
Many may not recall, but rumors of an affair between Lawrence and Tamron Hall surfaced long before Lawrence’s divorce was finalized. In February 2012, the New York Post was the first to report on the budding relationship between the MSNBC personalities. Neither Lawrence nor Tamron, his alleged girlfriend with substantial financial means, have publicly addressed these rumors.
Speculations about their relationship resurfaced after they attended the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Tamron fueled the rumors further when she expressed her intentions in an interview with People Magazine earlier that year.
However, their alleged relationship came to an end when Tamron announced on Twitter in 2017 that she was involved with a man named Tony. She subsequently left MSNBC and the Today Show less than a month later. Tamron is now happily married to music manager Steven Greener.
Their lifelong dream came true with the birth of their first child, Mosses, in April 2019, the same year they got married. Tamron joyfully shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself holding her newborn, adorned with a homemade hat bearing the name “Moses.”
Two months after revealing her marriage on Instagram, Tamron announced her pregnancy in a video to her followers. Meanwhile, Lawrence remained focused on politics, while his presumed ex-girlfriend embraced motherhood.
In May 2019, the controversial broadcaster stirred up controversy by accusing White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway of violating the Hatch Act. Lawrence’s accusations stemmed from reported disparaging remarks Conway made about presidential candidate Joe Biden. The Hatch Act prohibits government employees from using their positions to influence election outcomes.
