Husband Got Embroiled In Infidelity Claims
Lasko had to deal with a terrific situation just six months after her wedding. Her husband, David Letterman, was caught up in a cheating scandal.
On October 1, 2009, Regina's newlywed husband announced in his show that he had been a victim of a blackmailing scam. He further added that the blackmailer had found out about his affairs and claimed $2 million in extortion to maintain silence.

As the authorities resolved the case, David's mistress was identified as his longtime aide Stephanie Birkitt, and the blackmailer was determined to be CBS producer Joe Halderman.
On his show, David accepted that he had cheated on his wife, Regina and even asked for forgiveness. He asserted that his behavior horribly hurt Lasko and confessed it was his responsibility to fix the mess.
And at that point, there's only two things that can happen: either you're going to make some progress and get it fixed, or you're going to fall short and perhaps not get it fixed, so let me tell you folks, I got my work cut out for me.
Despite the apology, Lasko's marriage with Letterman was thought to be over with the couple living separately for months after the infidelity claims. However, love prevailed in the end as Regina chose to forgive her husband and saved her marriage.
After the incident, the couple has never attracted headlines for the wrong reasons and continue to live happily ever after.
They have been living together while relishing their net worth. As per Celebrity Networth, Letterman has a net worth of $400 million.
Husband Wished To Have More Children
Though the couple already has a son named Harry, in an interview with CBS in 2012, her husband revealed that at times he wished he had a girl child too.
He stated that he would have had more children if he hadn’t been 'so gosh darn single-minded' about his career on television.
