Disgraced CNN Boss Jeff Zucker has been seen out with his long-time lover and former VP, Allison Gollust, after being axed at the cable news network.
The former president of the left leaning news source, 56, and the ex-chief marketing manager, 49, have been seen traveling back and forth from their New York City apartment buildings, but on Monday, February 28, they were spotted getting into the same black SUV, per photos obtained by the Daily Mail.
This is the first time the couple has been seen together since their affair made headlines and subsequently led to both of them stepping down from their high executive positions earlier this year.

According to the outlet, the pair's relationship appears to be going strong, as Gollust was seen heading into Zucker's place three days in a row last week.
As OK! previously reported, it was announced in February via a company wide memo from WarnerMedia's CEO Jason Kilar that an internal investigation uncovered Gollust violated company policy due to her affair with Zucker, which led to her resignation. (The investigation was initially looking into whether CNN anchor Chris Cuomo broke the network's morality clause by helping to cover up his brother Andrew Cuomo's sexual assault scandal.)
“The investigation found violations of Company policies, including CNN’s News Standards and Practices, by Jeff Zucker, Allison Gollust, and Chris Cuomo," the note from Kilar stated of the executive's shocking exit.

Only weeks before, Zucker made the announcement himself that he would be resigning from his post at CNN. "As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo's tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years," he stated at the time.
"I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn't. I was wrong," the businessman admitted. "As a result, I am resigning today."
As Radar exclusively reported, Zucker — who served as the president of the network since 2013 — had allegedly been having a secret affair with the Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at the network for multiple years. Zucker's secret relationship allegedly broke up his marriage to his wife of 21-years, as well as Gollust's own marriage.
