'GMA' Anchor Lara Spencer Shows Her House Where She Lives with Husband of 5 Years – Photos

• "Good Morning America" anchor Lara Spencer has been married to Rick McVey for over five years. She is also a doting mom of two.
• The TV presenter showcased her home in Connecticut, a mix of modern and vintage aesthetics.
• Spencer's minimalist style and love for unique light fixtures are evident, creating a cozy space for her family.

Lara Spencer has been married twice, with her second husband being Rick McVey. The two dated for nearly two years, and their love story started after they were set up on a blind date arranged by a mutual friend.

Spencer was previously married to the former reporter and real estate broker David Haffenreffer. The pair got married in 2000 in Southampton. In 2009, they moved from Los Angeles and settled in New York.

The exes share two children: a daughter, Katherine, and a son, Duff. Haffenreffer and Spencer spent 15 years together before they announced their amicable divorce. The two said deciding to part ways didn't come easy, especially since they respected and loved each other, including their kids.

They noted that their children would remain their "top priority. We will raise them and care for them together." Haffenreffer and Spencer remained friends after the divorce and even went on vacations with their children. In a birthday post on August 2, 2017, Spencer referred to her ex-husband as "the best dad our kids could ever ask for."

Spencer, who co-hosted "Good Morning America" (GMA) with Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos, and Michael Stranus, moved on after her first marriage. She met McVey, and they got engaged in 2018. McVey, a dad to three daughters with his ex, is the founder, chairman, and CEO of MarketAxess, a publicly traded and prosperous financial technology (fintech) firm.

McVey took a bold step in creating his firm in 2000, which strived to break down Wall Street's persevering resistance to electronic bond trading. MarketAxess now runs a premier electronic trading platform, enhancing overall trading efficiency.

On September 1, 2018, Spencer and McVey exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony in Vail, Colorado. The TV presenter walked down the aisle to Christina Perri's song "A Thousand Years" and got married in front of 135 friends and family.

Spencer looked stunning in a sleeveless Adam Zohar lace gown with a mermaid skirt and sheer cutouts as her son Duff walked her down the aisle. The TV presenter complimented her outfit with a bouquet of white dahlias, freesia, and garden roses.

The couple's four-tiered wedding cake incorporated berries, cream, chocolate decadence, and confetti. In January 2024, celebrating Duff's birthday, she reminisced with a cute video of him walking her on her big day. She shared a video alongside pictures of Duff, born on January 22, 2002, at different ages.

The mom of two wrote that her son filled in for her beloved dad. She wished Duff a year filled with wonderful adventures, good health, happiness, and laughter. Spencer added, "1-22-02--now THAT was everything. The day I gave birth to this kid--and my life as a mom began. I love you my Duff."

Spencer and her husband have been in each other's lives for over five years. On September 1, 2023, the TV presenter shared gorgeous pictures of the two from their wedding, celebrating their five years of marriage. She captioned the post, "5 years ago today, baby! Happy Anniversary to my partner in crime, confidante, and best friend. ❤️❤️😍"

Spencer and McVey have a beautiful home in Connecticut. The exterior of the large house is well-designed with Georgian-style pillars, an angular light fitting, black windows and doors, and a sculpted dog she got from a flea market.

The TV presenter's living room has floor-to-ceiling windows, giving it lots of light. Spencer's color theme is muted, as the couch and sitting room chairs are off-white and have a light gray color scheme. Multiple gray mats line up the floor, and the gray cabinet hosts trophies and other artifacts.

Paintings brighten the star's living room with gorgeous chandeliers, adding another level of grandeur. Spencer, who loves her monochromatic living room, advised her followers to go for different textures if they wanted a light and bright one-color theme.

The TV presenter's dining room is a mix of collectibles: the new and the old. Her dining chairs and tables are white. However, she has some brightly colored paintings on the wall to cheer up the space. The light fixtures are cool and unique, standing out in the dark room.

Spencer, who has a penchant for one-of-a-kind light fixtures, advised her fans to think of them as jewelry so they can have lots of fun with them. Her house is filled with eccentric light fixtures, including ones with golden tassels, spikes, and geometric elements. Spencer collects these items from the flea market.

Spencer's family room is also well-lit. Her favorite part about the room is the expansive windows. The room has a TV hanging on the wall. The couches are light gray, but the carpet is dark gray, and the table is brown. The ceiling is made of wood, and three hand-made bamboo chandeliers hang on it.

Spencer then showed off her house's corridor, lined with a dark gray carpet. The corridor's wall-mounted lights add to its beauty. The TV presenter then headed up a flight of stairs, whose railings and walls were painted white.

She revealed her picture room, which had a wall filled with family photos. Spencer also had pictures and frames that she intended to add to the family wall. The wall, painted navy blue, ensures the framed images stand out.

Spencer hoped to fill the wall down to her basement with pictures of her kids and memories of her family. The TV presenter's basement stands out as she has converted it into the "Good Morning America" studio in Connecticut.

The magnificent basement is lined up with bright and colorful paintings on the wall and decked with a large velvet blue sofa and an assortment of pillows. On one side are gray armchairs, while on a different side of the room is a wide brown table with comfy blue lounge chairs.

The basement is also used for family gatherings, as Spencer's kids love going down there with friends. A poker table is next to a wall with an illuminated write-up, "Take It Easy." Next to the poker table is another sitting area with silver-colored chairs and a round table. Finally, Spencer showed off what she called "Mummy's heaven."

Her heaven is a wine cellar featuring an entire wall filled with horizontally stacked wine bottle columns. Spencer has created a cozy home with items from the flea market and modern ones.

When renovating an old guest house at the back of her property during the quarantine period, she shared the finished look on Instagram, writing, "I had to get very creative with my existing finds from flea markets and thrift stores along the way." Armed with creativity, Spencer enjoys staying in her home with a minimalist style alongside her family.

Spencer, who turned 54 on June 19, 2023, said she was a "very lucky girl" as she celebrated her birthday. She shared a gorgeous picture of her, her husband, and the kids as they showed off the birthday cake with lit candles.

At her age, Spencer is still enjoying life and learning new things. She learned to sail in 2023 with her friend Ally and shared a video of themselves in open waters. The two learned how to rig their boat and were enjoying themselves. In her mid-50s, Spencer is blessed with a fun life and love from her husband, kids, and friends.
