Lara Spencer, a mother of two children, has reportedly been in a relationship with Wall Street financier Rick McVey since she divorced her husband of 15 years, David Haffenreffer, in 2015.

[Update]: Lara Spencer is married to her boyfriend, Rick McVey!

Lara Spencer and David’s divorce was a cordial decision.

Lara Spencer and David, who were recognized as one of the enduring celebrity couples, shocked people with the news of their divorce in 2015. The GMA co-anchor and CNN reporter-turned-real-estate-broker had exchanged wedding vows in an Episcopal ceremony at St. Andrew’s Dune Church on September 30, 2000. During that time, she was a reporter for WABC-TV, and Haffenreffer contributed to the CNN morning show Ahead of Curve.

The parents of two went through a clean split, and they finalized their divorce in June 2015.  The couple said in a joint statement, “After a lot of thought, care, and consideration, we have decided to end our marriage. It’s a sad decision that didn’t come easily, especially because we respect and love each other and our children. They remain our top priority. We will raise them and care for them together.”

Lara’s busy schedules and workaholic attitude were the reason behind their split. The news of their separation became public three months after their divorce. 

They have remained friends for the sake of their children: a January 22, 2002, born son named Duff Haffenreffer and an October 5, 2004, born daughter named Katharine Paige Haffenreffer.
