Talk show host Tamron Hall isn't one to brag about her relationship online. But in 2019,
she took to social media to make a surprise double announcement — to the shock of fans,
Hall was not only married but expecting her first child. Alongside a video set to
the tune of the inescapable "Baby Shark," the journalist noted that she was, in her words,
"about to be a mommy shark very soon."
With just a couple months left in her pregnancy,
the then-48-year-old finally felt comfortable sharing the news.
"I do have an announcement to make, though, as I catch my breath, woo."
As for the father, Hall confirmed that his name is Steven Greener,
a music executive. In a follow-up Instagram post, she gushed,
"My husband Steven and I are beyond excited!
There have been many tears, but today I embrace the smiles."
"The marriage came before the baby but the baby is the best part."
Hall has generally kept her relationship strictly under wraps. It's unclear whether Greener isn't
comfortable with the spotlight or if the couple simply wants to keep their home life private.
According to People magazine,
the happy couple began dating in 2017 but were friends for many years beforehand.
"He would run into me and he kept saying 'what are the odds?’
And I'm like 'well because you're stalking me, those are the odds, the odds are high."
She went on to say,
"I always thought, 'One day I'll get married, and I don't want my husband to have to look at
old episodes of me gushing over the last guy.' I've always been very cautious.
I think today, people mistake privacy for secrecy. People say he's my 'secret husband.'
But we were going everywhere together; it was just a private thing I needed to protect."
The private couple seldom posts photos on social media. In celebration of Valentine's Day,
however, Hall shared a sweet selfie of the couple looking dapper en route to an event. She wrote,
"Happy Valentine's day to you. Old pic same love and same fade. [...] The ride is always
unpredictable but the person next to you can help make the bumps easier to take."
Speaking about their plans for the day, she went on to say,
"Last year dinner out, this year I'm cooking oxtails at home and loving it all."
The happy family’s love grew even bigger when the former news anchor gave birth to her son
Moses in April 2019. She shared the wonderful news on Instagram, noting,
"Photo credit: Dad who can't stop crying tears of joy."
The former Today host explained to People mag that she and Greener kept
the pregnancy under wraps out of fear Hall wouldn't make it to the end. She admitted,
"I was high-risk, not just because of my age, but there were other medical factors too."
However, after enduring several frustrating years of
infertility and failed fertility treatments, Hall became a mother.
Speaking about how happy she is with her husband and son, the journalist gushed,
"I don't think you can ever overuse the word grateful."
Despite being married to Hall, there's little known about
Greener. According to Good Housekeeping, he currently works as the Head of Music
Talent at Primary Wave Entertainment and has worked with superstars like
Fantasia Barrino and Bernie Mac. He has also worked in television production.
Perhaps the reason why the public doesn't know much about Greener is that he's fairly shy.
As Hall told People mag, she had known Greener for years before they started dating,
however, she eventually discovered that their friendship was much more. She explained,
"We would run into each other, and he's shy,
so I wasn't clear that he was hitting on me exactly. I thought he was just being friendly."
Two years after they first met, Greener finally asked her out.
During a co-hosting gig on "Live With Kelly and Ryan" in 2019,
Hall revealed that they moved in together after only dating each other for three weeks.
Greener also revealed that the couple's child is his first. He admitted,
"I'm constantly amazed by how lucky I am. Tamron is one of the most authentic, loving, honest,
caring people I've ever known. My favorite part of marriage and fatherhood so far is realizing
every day I am exactly where I was always meant to be — with my family. I am home."
