Matt Lauer and Shamin Abas are still going strong.

The couple of more than three years was seen enjoying a romantic date night Saturday in New York City’s Upper East Side, according to photos obtained by Page Six.

The former “Today” show host, 65, and the marketing guru, 53, kept close and held hands as they shopped on Madison Avenue.

For the intimate outing, Lauer kept warm in a gray beanie and matching hooded sweatshirt, which was layered atop a baby blue collared button-down and beneath a black sport coat.

He completed his look with dark-wash blue jeans and black dress shoes, holding his phone and a shopping bag in one hand, and his girlfriend’s in the other.

Lauer and Abas began dating in late 2019 amid the finalization of his divorce from wife of 20 years Annette Roque, 56.

As Page Six previously reported, the journalist — apparently overcome with guilt after cheating with multiple women at work — agreed to pay the former model and equestrian as much as $20 million in their settlement.

The exes — who share sons Jack, 21, and Thijs, 16, along with daughter Romy, 19 — split in 2017 after NBC executives axed Lauer over a string of sexual misconduct allegations, which torpedoed his career.

As for his relationship with Abas, the pair were friends for a decade before deciding to give romance a shot.

“Matt and Shamin have known each other for many years; she spends a lot of time in the Hamptons, as does he,” a source told Page Six in December 2019.

“They very recently began dating. She is a lovely woman.”
