Matthew Jay Povich[Maury Povich son]: Wiki-Bio, parents, biological parents?

The Povich family has a strong history of journalism. Maury Povich is the best known of the lot who rose to fame for hosting the tabloid talk show, Maury. His father Shirley Povich was an American sports columnist and reporter for The Washington Post, and his sister, Lynn Povich has spent more than 40-years in the new business. Maury even married into journalism as his wife Connie Chung has worked as an anchor and reporter for the U.S. television news networks NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC. While many thought that the family trend would continue in the coming years, Matthew Jay Povich never followed the family’s legacy. In this article, we will take a closer look at the wiki-bio of Matthew Jay Povich.

Early Life:

Matthew Jay Povich was born at an unspecified date in the USA. Matthew was adopted by Maury and Connie and little is known about his biological life. He was adopted in 1995 and has been with the Poviches ever since. Maury and Connie came to adoption after failing to conceive a child. As they revealed on the 19th of June, 1995,

“We are happy to confirm that after a long period of waiting, we have adopted a boy, Matthew Jay Povich.”

Little is known about Matthew and details on his early life are incredibly scarce to come by. The 25-year old is rarely seen alongside his parents and prefers to keep his comings and goings silent. Even though Matthew was born to celebrity parents, both Maury and Connie have tried their best to give Matthew a normal life. On the other hand, the duo spent most of their time in front of the camera.
