Matt Lauer is officially divorced from Annette Roque.
The disgraced former "Today" show host, 61, and the former model, 52, were married for more than 20 years but split two years ago after Lauer's career was upended by sexual misconduct allegations.
A Suffolk County Supreme Court judge signed the divorce papers on Thursday, court spokesman Lucian Chalfen confirmed with Fox News, after Roque filed for divorce in July.

"The case, which is an uncontested matrimonial, was filed on July 9 in State Supreme Court in Suffolk County, N.Y., and is awaiting judicial review of the agreement," the court said in a statement at the time. "Upon a judge's signature, it will be sent to the court clerk's office to be entered."
Lauer was fired by NBC in November 2017 after multiple sexual misconduct claims were levied against him in detailed accounts published in Variety and The New York Times.
