Former ‘Today’ Host Gets Served Divorce Papers From Wife

Stephanie Gosk filed for divorce from Jenna Wolfe following their separation in 2021.

NBC News correspondent Stephanie Gosk has filed for divorce from her wife, former Today host Jenna Wolfe, after almost 13 years of marriage.

Gosk, 53, filed for divorce on Wednesday, TMZ reported, citing online records.

Gosk was recently promoted to Senior National Correspondent at NBC News, network executives David Verdi and Catherine Kim announced in September.

The couple, who share two daughters, Harper, 12, and Quinn, 10, separated in September 2021 but had never filed for divorce.

While working at Today in 2013, Wolfe, 51, announced that she was a lesbian and that she and her partner, Gosk, were expecting their first child.

The two married later that year and welcomed Harper in August. In February 2015, Quinn was born.

After nearly 10 years together, Wolfe told People in 2023 that she and Gosk had been separated since September 2021, adding that the pandemic had complicated their relationship.

“COVID was really tough, because we both worked from home,” Wolfe, then a Fox Sports anchor, said.

She said that she and Gosk, an NBC News correspondent, were both filming live shots from their Manhattan apartment.

“When there’s two people on television, plus both kids trying to do Zoom school in a Manhattan apartment, there’s just no space anywhere,” Wolfe told the magazine. “We decided after that, in order to preserve the relationship, it was better that Steph moved out.”

Wolfe clarified to People that they were “still great friends, still loving parents” to their daughters.

Also during the pandemic, Wolfe’s mother was diagnosed Stage 3 breast and lymph node cancer.

Though her mother overcame her diagnosis, she had tested positive for BRCA, a gene that increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, and asked her daughter to get tested.

Wolfe tested positive as well, prompting her to immediately undergo a preventative hysterectomy and double mastectomy.

“There was no cancer in our family, but we ran all the numbers: I’m in my late forties, and my mom had cancer, and I’m an Ashkenazi Jew,” she told the publication. “My cancer risk was at 44 percent. That’s almost 1 in 2. I was walking around like thanking my lucky stars that I hadn’t gotten cancer yet.”

Wolfe shared a photo of herself post-mastectomy to Instagram in April 2023, saying that “all that’s left now is recovery and healing.”

“I FaceTimed with my kids tonight and the litte said to me, ‘you always say we can do hard things, mama,” the caption read. “Now we’re telling you the same thing. You got this. We love you.”
