Lara Logan Refuses To Talk About Love Life — To Protect Ex-Husband

It's not in Lara Logan's nature to fret about the future. Still, over lunch at Georgetown's Four Seasons Hotel, the 37-year-old reporter with starlet looks seems uneasy as she considers what, exactly, her impending life changes portend. Four months pregnant, the newly appointed chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News has just been relocated from Iraq to Washington, D.C., to increase her presence on the evening news. But after seven years in Iraq and Afghanistan, giving up the daily tumult of war zone reporting may prove the hardest adjustment.

Then again, ditching the Kevlar vest offers other wardrobe possibilities. Wearing an unabashedly feminine -- and sheer -- blouse and a black pencil skirt, Logan glances up from her menu and, in a softened South African accent, says, "I break out into hives at the thought of the word settling. I'm not a person who makes plans in advance for anything."

That would also seem to hold true for her love life, which exploded onto tabloid pages this summer with the revelation of her affair with a married U.S. contractor (the father-to-be of her child). Though both were separated from their spouses, Logan was tagged with home-wrecker allegations.

"Can't talk about him," she says, waving her hands when I raise the issue. "Lots of reasons, not the least of which is my poor ex-husband, who's been through enough."

Wish she would do a story on her fellow South Africans who have turned Mecenarys since leaving the South African Police and Military.

They are all over the African Contient selling weapons, smuggling, training militias, starting wars, killing government officials, just creating havoc all over for money.

They can't go back to South Africa becuase many face prison for abuses and murders of Black South Africans under Apartash rule.

They can't go to Britian for extradition laws so they run around keeping hate and violence going.

Beautiful Lara. I wish I her the expectant father. Simply gorgeous.

More of the idiocy I expect from Huffpo...can we focus in on what is happening OUTSIDE of the convention at St. Paul? Can we worry about what's going on in the world at large, not on the tawdry tabloid pages?

This and the Palin dreck are cesspool material.

..."I'm not a person who makes plans in advance for anything."

Except for whatever helps move your career along. You will "work" with anyone without regard to the consequences if you think it will move you along. One day you will reap what you sow. We all will.
And wasn't the baby's father separated only due to his being out of the country? There was no legal separation at the time was there? God you people can tell great stories. Too bad the facts always get in the way of what you call the truth.
I don't care if you had an affair, but to allow yourself to become pregnant by a married person is scraping the bottom of the barrel. And you consider yourself such a professional, Wow!

So if I'm understanding the story right.

She was having a secret affair with an Iraqi Contractor while she was on assignment reporting on Iraq
Seems like a clear conflict of interests to me.

I am so glad Lara has made the decision to forego discussions of her love life - mainly because I don't give a flying f**k!

Marooned to Afghanistan. And, I see that her freakazoid old boyfriend, the manic Michael Ware, was hyping the "War in Georgia". The old addage: What goes around, comes around, comes to mind.

Lara's really pretty, but her hair is very light in this picture and I'm not sure that it works for her. I could have sworn I've seen it darker. Is that her natural hair color? Because women aren't supposed to dye their hair when pregnant, right? But aesthetics aside, she's a great reporter and a decent human being.

I'm surprised to see a photo of her sitting up and not on her back as usual.

Funny how you people want to talk trash, unless it is about Palin's precious daughter.

[Bluedog12]

Where was John Edwards five months ago?

[Qwack79]

There's a Mens Vogue? Who Knew?

[SouthpawSass]

Lara dear, I don't know if anyone told you, but getting shot at and possibly bombed is not good for the baby...

[walk0nwalls]

Thanks Lara for being in Afghanistan, now could you please get unembedded after your pregnancy?

The press and the so called moral rightest groups, alone with just noisy individuals. Leave this woman along. If this was anyone else, this would remain and issue between Mrs.Logan and her spouse the father of her unborn child and his spouse. Everyone else needs to just butt out. Remember there is a child that will be born one day. I would just cringe if this child at the age of 17 has this thrust in his or her face, not nice folks.

Well, Looking beautiful and being in the war zone usually don't go together.
You get alot of unwanted attentions and get entangled with stuff.
But I must say that I love her jornalism and reporting; she is awesome.
