Love in the air in CNBC newsroom

The New York Post reports that CNBC anchor Becky Quick and Matthew Quayle, the executive producer of the “Squawk Box” show in which she appears, have quietly married.

Richard Johnson writes, “Quick – whose glossy hair and sparkling incisors prompted a 2006 New York Times story about her legions of online male admirers (‘Her teeth are like pearls from the Orient,’ wrote one fan on a Web site) – was previously married to a computer programmer.

“Quayle, 38, who has been with CNBC for 16 years, was also married with two kids before he and Quick started dating. ‘He is a big Christian and would always talk about the church. And then he left his wife and babies for her. What a hypocrite,’ snips an insider.

“Reached for comment, a spokesperson for CNBC told Page Six, ‘All three anchors on ‘Squawk Box’ — Becky Quick, Joe Kernen and Carl Quintanilla — have married CNBC producers. Love is in the air when you’re first in business worldwide.'”

  • I believe you meant Matthew Quayle not "matthew quick" because you reference him as Quayle later in the post. I do remember when she got married the first time, because she was just a reporter at the network and they gave her a "Congratulations Becky" across the screen. It was some years ago.

  • I was among the many male online admirers, and while I'd still hit it, when I look at her I think "homewrecker" and feel badly for the two children.
