Matt Lauer, the former “Today” show host, has reportedly been taking steps toward rebuilding connections with old friends after years of being away from the public eye.

Following his controversial departure from NBC in 2017, Lauer has faced a period of intense scrutiny and isolation.

However, sources close to him say that he is slowly but surely working on mending relationships with those he was once close to, seeking a fresh start in his personal life.

Lauer’s reappearance in social circles has been described as a sign of his desire to regain a sense of normalcy and rebuild trust with people who have been in his life for years.
