At the height of his career, Letterman married his longtime wife, Regina Lasko, and here’s everything we know about her.
Who is David Letterman’s wife, Regina Lasko?

At the time, Letterman was in a long-term relationship with Merrill Markoe until their split in 1988.
While the two met in 1986, Lasko and Letterman didn’t tie the knot until March 19, 2009.
At the time of their nuptials, news broke that Letterman had cheated on Lasko throughout their relationship — to which Letterman admitted to be true.
Speaking on Oprah, Letterman said: “I have no one to blame but myself.
“I’m taking responsibility for it, trying to atone for it.”
Since the scandal, the two have been seen on multiple holidays enjoying each other’s company.

In 2022, Harry started his freshman year at Brown University.
Speaking on his son’s transition to college, Letterman said sending him off was “devastating.”
