“Lawrence O’Donnell, a 67-year-old MSNBC personality, has faced significant challenges since his divorce. After nearly two decades of what he describes as a happy marriage, the Boston native is still grappling with the aftermath of the emotional ordeal.
His post-divorce life has been marked by various incidents, from a near-death experience while vacationing with his brother to a widely publicized workplace outburst caught on video during his tenure as the host of The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.
Amidst these difficulties, Tamron Hall, a former MSNBC colleague rumored to be romantically involved 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
“If Lawrence and his rumored girlfriend choose to start a family, the transition to parenthood might be smoother for him. After all, the 67-year-old author and television personality already has a daughter, Elizabeth Buckley Harrold, with his ex-wife Kathryn Harrold.
Lawrence and Kathryn, the 71-year-old actress known for her role in Nightwing, tied the knot in 1994 after being introduced by a mutual acquaintance in New York. However, their marriage came to an end in 2013 after 19 years together.””
Kathryn was his rock, a sort of lucky charm in many ways. This was evident in several instances. Less than a year after their divorce, Lawrence and his brother were involved in a drunk driving incident while vacationing in the Virgin Islands, as passengers in a taxi.
Following this, the former Democratic chief of staff for the Senate Finance Committee took a hiatus for the next three years until footage of his 8-minute on-set breakdown was leaked in September 2017.
The release of this breakdown footage came just months after he signed a new contract with MSNBC. Lawrence, with an estimated net worth of $16 million, is set to earn $4 million annually under the terms of his new deal.”
Tamron Hall Is Dating: Former MSNBC Personality Is Open To Having Children
“Long before Lawrence’s divorce was finalized, reports of his alleged affair with Tamron Hall had already made their rounds. The first media outlet to cover the budding relationship between the MSNBC personalities was the New York Post in February 2012. Despite this, neither Lawrence nor his purported girlfriend, who boasts substantial income and assets, have publicly addressed these rumors.
Speculations about their relationship resurfaced after they attended the 2016 White House Correspondents’ Dinner together. Tamron added fuel to the fire by expressing her intentions in an interview with People Magazine earlier that year.
Unfortunately, their relationship hit a snag when Tamron revealed on Twitter in 2017 that she was dating someone named Tony. Less than a month later, she bid farewell to MSNBC and the Today Show. She is now happily married to music manager Steven Greener.
Tamron and Steven welcomed their first child, Moses, in April 2019, the same year they tied the knot. The former Today Show co-host shared the joyous news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself cradling her newborn son, with a handmade hat adorned with “Moses” written on it. This revelation came two months after she announced her marriage on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Lawrence remained focused on politics, while his alleged ex-girlfriend embraced motherhood. In May 2019, the controversial broadcaster stirred controversy by accusing White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway of violating the Hatch Act.
This came after Kellyanne allegedly made disparaging remarks about presidential candidate Joe Biden. The Hatch Act prohibits any government employee from using their position to influence an election.”
