Connie Chung, an American columnist and US News TV anchor, says that doing nothing for her partner has made their relationship stronger than ever before.
Yes, we all want to have the relationship she shares with her friend.
She is a beautiful woman with a good attitude and friendly character. Connie Chung is a news presenter in the journalism industry who has captured several hearts.
In the early years of her life, she served as a reporter for CBS Evening News.
Throughout 1983, when she returned to the network, she joined NBC’s brand first program called NBC News at Sunrise.
Even the NBC Nightly News was hosted. She co-hosted RogerMudd in 1986.
Early Life
Journalist Connie Chung was born on 20 August 1946 and educated as one of 5 Chinese diplomat daughters in Washington, D.C.
Chung graduated in 1969 from the University of Maryland with a degree in journalism and immediately launched her journalism career at the WTTG-TV in Washington, eventually managing to reach the managing position.
Five years later, CBS News recruited her to serve as a reporter located in Congress. Chung received a large interview: a special interview with the Richard Nixon, right after the Watergate scandal.
In a period from 1976 to 1983 she spent her time in L.A. where she was working as a news host at CBS. Right at that time she started going out with Maurie Povich, who was her friend from before. The couple hit it off nicely, and by 1984 they were married.
It started to change things, so she decided to leave NBC. After that, she left CBS. She started hosting Connie Chung on Saturday night. She was the host of CBS Evening News and Connie Chung’s side project called Eye to Eye.
Yet sadly, she had to quit CBS as her anchoring was not at the same moment. She then ran for ABC News to lead.
Together with Charles Gibson, she hosted 20/20. Yet instead, as she expected a lot from her personal life, she agreed to do less of her work.
Career Path
The resident of Washington went to Silver Spring, Maryland, Montgomery Blair High School.
She eventually became involved in news and culture over time, and in 1969 she graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a degree in journalism.
Connie Chung, who wasn’t aware of the friendship, is enjoying a happy family life with her partner Maury Povich, who is an anchorman of Metromedia.
They first met when they both ascended the performance ladder in 1969. As they served with WTTG, the pair formed. Maury was an anchor there at the moment, and Connie was a kid in the picture. They also took steps towards them later in 1976.
At that moment, Maury was going through a turbulent period as he was struggling with the debt conflict with the Chicago station and his life on the brink of collapse.
Maury turned to Connie for consolation during his moment of suffering. They would talk and Connie, in exchange, would physically as well as intellectually lift him up. That’s when the couple began to hit it off, according to Maury.
Yet Maury was on the run again back in 1978, and it took a break from their relationship. We both feel isolated and were hurt by Maury. While, they began to re-evaluate their relationships and for six months they didn’t see each other.
They all wanted to become pen pals after that. While both of them were not romantically involved, they both started to miss each other. We came to realize how much we meant to each other while they were seeing other men. Once Maury was in Washington in the summer of 1983, they were both back on track again.
However, they were both in on and off partnership that finally made it to the ceremony of marriage. While Connie and Maury were not sure they wanted to wed, after seven years of dating, the pair tied the nuptial knot on December 2, 1984.
Today, the husband-and-wife couple has finally settled after almost 33 years of marriage. Connie, who has a net worth of $15 million, is very transparent regarding their intimate friendship.
She opened up with Closer Weekly sharing that doing nothing together is her path to happy marriage. Her collection of secrets also includes giving rights and not forcing on each other their mates.
The couple, whose partnership is at the peak, are parents to three of their daughters. In 1995, the couple adopted a boy, Mathew, and also had two daughters from Maury’s previous marriage, Susan and Amy.
Chung relocated to NBC in 1983. She started to be one of the most prominent journalists in television news by the time her contract was extended in 1989.
Chung negotiated a 3-year contract with CBS after a heated bidding war. With Connie Chung, she introduced a program called Face to Face, which combined hard news with celebrity-friendly video interviews.
The show became popular with audiences, but many television analysts challenged how Chung concentrated on information-based programming.
For starters, the New York Times asked: “It remains the issue, is this news program? And if so, what kind of news?”
Few months later, she left the program and said to the public that she abandoned her grueling schedule of work to concentrate on having a child.
“When it comes to having kids, time is running out for me,” Chung said, then 44. Her attempts were ineffective in conceiving a child. A baby, Matthew, would be adopted by Chung and Povich in June 1995.
In 1993 her network revealed to a great deal of praise that Chung would co-anchor the evening news show with Dan Rather, a long-time leader. Chung was only the 2nd woman ever to occupy one of the major network anchor positions (after Barbara Walters). At the same moment, with Connie Chung, she published a news magazine entitled Eye to Ear.
Chung was exposed in troubles in 1995 after prompting Kathleen Gingrich, who admitted that her son named the U.S. first lady Hillary Clinton “a bitch.”
The Chung-Rather on-air relationship was destroyed by Faltering Career Concerns regarding her questioning style, and Rather’s documented frustration at having to share the position of anchor. CBS told Chung in May 1995 that it had dropped her from the role of the co-anchor.
Chung unsuccessfully tried to create her own news program together with Povich before switching to ABC News in December 1997, where she hosted the 20/20 news magazine on Friday night. She received the first job interviewing Congressman Gary Condit at 20/20 since internal Chandra Levy’s absence in 2001.
She switched to CNN in 2002 to host a new show partnering with Bill O’Reilly, a pundit at Fox News Channel. The show fought— CNN creator Ted Turner dubbed it “too awful”— and in March 2003, CNN pulled it suddenly. A “very surprised and extremely disappointed” Chung moved away for some time from TV, being a stay at home mom.
Throughout 2006, on a Saturday morning show under the name Weekends with Maury & Connie, she returned to television with her children.
Following six mediocre months, the series was quickly cancelled, but it was difficult to miss Chung’s video wearing a sexy white dress and warming a spoof song with text such as, “Thanks for the / I could do more research on skid row / By little I say.”
She later told that the whole thing was in good humor referencing the cancellation of the program. “All I want to be sure of is that the audience took it was a giant joke,” said Chung. “If anyone takes it too serious, they need to have a job.”
Personal life
Connie Chung recently revealed that in an op-ed letter to the plaintiff of Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, she was sexually assaulted by her psychiatrist. She wrote the letter to open up the convicted Christine and demonstrate her love.
Connie Chung was born in Washington DC, the United States of America, on August 20, 1946. Her two parents had emigrated from China to the United States.
Willian Ling, had six children with her mother in the Chinese Nationalist State. During the fighting in China, all five of her sisters had disappeared. There is not much information available about her parents, because Connie is particularly sensitive about it.
They all wanted to become pen pals after that. While both of them were not romantically involved, they both started to miss each other. We came to realize how much we meant to each other while they were seeing other men. Once Maury was in Washington in the summer of 1983, they were both back on track again.
However, they were both in on and off partnership that finally made it to the ceremony of marriage. While Connie and Maury were not sure they wanted to wed, after seven years of dating, the pair tied the nuptial knot on December 2, 1984.
