60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft admitted yesterday that he had cheated on his wife, journalist Jenny Conant, after a National Enquirer article ran detailing the ordeal.
Kroft affair with the 41-year-old NYC Lawyer Lisan Goines lasted roughly 3 years. Lisan is also married and the two recently ended the affair when things began to get too serious.
“I had an extramarital affair that was a serious lapse of personal judgment and extremely hurtful to my wife and family, and for that I have nothing but regret,” Kroft said in a statement to the Post. “My wife and I are committed to each other and are working hard to get past this, and consider it a private matter.”
This would be nothing out of the ordinary, NEWS FLASH people cheat, but what makes it a national story is the leak of their text messages.
The newsman — who boasted to Goines that he was the “go-to” interviewer forPresident Obama — had some particularly unusual tastes in bed, the mag said. One time, he was “pouring champagne in her behind and drinking the bubbly,” the report claims. […]
In one sexting session, Kroft allegedly cooed to Goines, “Miss you and all that goes with it. Especially my favorite tastes and colors … pink and brown.” Another time, the 69-year-old newsman asked Goines, 41, “What exactly would be your preference,” the Enquirer reported. “U all over and deep inside of me,” Goines responded.
At one point, the hard-working TV journalist, who has a son with Conant, lamented his long hours on the job, the report said. “Working late. Just ordered out. Would rather be eating your pudding,” he allegedly wrote.
As the kids say, Steve was about that life. It’s not every day you see a 69-year-old man still shooting, and hitting, his shot.
