Amid the hot water her husband is swimming in, Annette Roque, wife of recently axed "Today" show host Matt Lauer, has reportedly left their home and taken her two children with her. 

Roque reportedly left her home along with her two kids, Romy, 14 and Thijs, 11. According to Page Six, they had gone back to the Netherlands, where the former model was from. "Annette has taken their two younger kids out of school and is believed to have left the US and gone to her family in her native country," the source revealed.

The insider also added that Roque was last seen in their Hamptons residence on Wednesday, just as the news that Lauer had been fired over sexual misconduct allegations were revealed. The former model, who had graced Victoria's Secret catalogs, had kept mum since the allegations were publicized.

Lauer was accused by a co-worker of sexual assault during the Rio Olympics coverage, which prompted his firing. On Wednesday, host Savannah Guthrie read a letter from NBC News chairman Andrew Lack announcing Lauer's departure, which came as a shock for everyone as the host had been with the show for more than 20 years.

In the letter, Lack noted that this was the first complaint addressed towards Lauer, but it was enough reason for the company to reach the decision. He also explained that the host had clearly and gravely violated the company's rules and regulations.

"Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender," Lack added.

But, this was not the first time Lauer had been dragged into the spotlight for these kinds of allegations. In 2006, Roque filed for divorce citing "inhumane acts," though she later withdrew her documents.
