Two Years After Leaving Her Job At Today, The Star Has Gained So Much More: A New Tv Show, A New Husband—and The Baby Of Her Dreams
Someone has been shedding a lot of tears at Tamron Hall’s house. Surprisingly, it isn’t the baby boy swaddled nearby, little Moses, who just turned three weeks old. Instead it is Moses’s mother, Hall, 48, who is continually getting choked up. “I cry at everything,” Hall says of her postpartum mood as she sits at her kitchen counter. “Things make me happy, I cry. Things make me sad, I cry. I’ve been watching a lot of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Tracy Morgan’s The Last O.G., and I’m crying at those. I’m laughing a lot in the middle of crying.”
For Hall, who stunned fans last March by announcing she was 32 weeks pregnant—and happily wed to a man she’d never publicly discussed before, music manager Steven Greener—riding an emotional roller coaster is nothing new. A longtime fixture of the Today show who also had her own show on MSNBC (and additionally hosts the Deadline Crime series on Investigation Discovery), Hall was told in January 2017 that her slot cohosting Today’s third hour at 9 a.m. was being given to Megyn Kelly. When she was bumped, Hall says, she was offered no clear role or time slot at NBC in return, and ultimately she decided to leave the network. (Kelly’s show proved controversial, as did Kelly herself; she exited NBC in 2018.)
At 46, Hall was at a low point, and pulling herself back up wasn’t easy. Even after she found love with Greener, 51, their decision to try to start a family was fraught, given Hall’s age and past unsuccessful attempts at in vitro fertilization. But today Hall, a Texas native, has every reason to smile—especially as she prepares to launch her syndicated talk show, the Tamron Hall show, this fall. Now she’s opening up about the emotional journey she has been on for the past two years.
