Who is Alisyn Camerota's husband? Married CNN anchor spotted holding hands with former boss Jeff Zucker

The duo was seen walking hand-in-hand, raising eyebrows due to Jeff Zucker's current relationship with Allison Gollust

LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: In a surprising turn of events, former CNN CEO Jeff Zucker, 58, found himself in the media spotlight once again as he was seen holding hands with his former colleague and CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota, 57, at Don Lemon's weekend bash in the Hamptons. Pictures obtained by the Daily Mail captured the duo walking hand in hand, raising eyebrows due to Zucker's current relationship with Allison Gollust, 50, who was also present at the event.

'Allison and Jeff have never been happier'

The pictures of Zucker and Camerota together have raised questions, considering Zucker and Gollust's well-documented relationship since leaving CNN last year. The two executives were entangled in an internal probe centered around the termination of former CNN host Chris Cuomo, which also exposed their undisclosed affair while working at the network. Zucker stepped down from his $6-million-a-year position as CNN CEO in February following the controversy, and he and Gollust have since been seen together in public outings as a couple. A source close to the couple attempted to downplay the situation after Zucker and Camerota were spotted holding hands, telling Page Six, "Allison and Jeff have never been happier. He and Camerota were going to meet Allison for coffee." However, representatives for Zucker, Gollust, and Camerota did not respond to the outlet's requests for comment.

It's worth noting that Zucker and Gollust have already finalized their respective divorces from their former spouses, further solidifying their relationship. The pair had worked together for over two decades at CNN and NBC and had lived in the same apartment building, which ultimately led to the end of both of their previous marriages in 2015 and 2017.

A report by Radar Online suggested that the affair between Zucker and Gollust had been a long-term one, with rumors of their relationship circulating for years before its eventual exposure. "One media outlet was so hot on their trail, it even commissioned reporters and photographers to tail the two lovebirds," an insider told the outlet. "It appeared as though someone was scared enough to think they might have been photographed together in a compromising position." The source added, "Upon belief, Zucker ordered Gollust to do damage control. He feared, as did Allison, that their secret romance was about to be exposed."

Who is Alisyn Camerota's husband?

While Zucker and Gollust have been making headlines for their relationship, little has been said about Alisyn Camerota's personal life, including her husband, Tim Lewis. Camerota, a two-time Emmy Award nominee, had previously anchored CNN's 'New Day' show before moving to the 10 pm to 12 am slot on 'CNN Tonight'.

Lewis, aged 57, is a partner at the Southfield Capital private equity firm based in Greenwich, Connecticut. His impressive career in the private equity space includes stints at Atlantic Street Capital and CRG Partners. Lewis graduated from Yale University in 1988 and later obtained an MBA from the Northwestern Kellogg School of Management. Camerota and Lewis tied the knot in 2002 and are parents to three teenage children. The couple has been candid about their struggle with infertility and shared their journey with in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments with SELF Magazine.

After facing challenges in conceiving during the early years of their marriage, Camerota and Lewis turned to IVF. Their determination eventually led to the birth of twin daughters in 2005, followed by the arrival of their son in 2007. The couple's experience with infertility motivated Camerota to become an advocate and spokesperson for infertility, and she actively volunteers with RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. The family used to reside in a brownstone in Manhattan's Upper West Side before relocating to Westport, Connecticut, where they now share a home. Despite the recent headlines involving Camerota and Zucker, there have been no public comments or statements from Camerota or Lewis on the matter.
