Her show, Laura Coates Live, airs weeknights at 11 pm ET, where she delves into various legal issues and current events. While many may know her for her professional accomplishments, fans are also curious about her personal life, particularly her marriage to Dale Gordon.
The couple first met in 2007 at a law firm orientation in New York City. Coates had just moved to the city for a new job and found herself in a somewhat chaotic situation, with her belongings not yet arrived, and an accidental eyebrow waxing mishap. Despite the hectic circumstances, she managed to make a lasting impression on Gordon, who was filling in for a colleague and conducting her orientation.
Since tying the knot in 2010, Coates and Gordon have built a strong relationship that she describes as “authentic.” The couple shares two children, a son named Adrian and a daughter named Sydney. Coates is known for being a hands-on parent, actively involved in her kids’ lives by joining Sydney’s Girl Scouts troop, attending Adrian’s basketball games, and even having lunch with them at school once a week.
Living in Washington DC with her family, Coates balances her professional commitments with her role as a dedicated wife and mother. Fans appreciate her candor and relatability, as she shares glimpses of her family life alongside her insightful legal commentary on CNN.
