Greener outrightly asked Hall for a pizza date and she agreed. They went out a couple of times and three weeks after their first date, they moved in together in Hall’s home. One of the factors that helped the couple’s relationship in these early days was the fact that Hall had just left her work at NBC.

According to the TV personality, the fact that she was no longer in a competitive environment, where she was constantly checking her email and worrying about her spot, meant that she had a deep appreciation for Greener and could really see him.

The couple lived together for about two years before tying the knot. During this period, they initially kept their living arrangement a secret as a result of Hall’s mom, Mary Newton. Newton is an old-school southern lady and would have frowned at them living together without getting married. Greener, therefore, took to disappearing from the house whenever she came visiting.

The whole thing was like a comedy special and it later turned out that Hall’s mom knew what they were up to all along. She was nevertheless happy as her daughter and Greener finally formalized their vows. The wedding took place around late 2018 or early 2019 and it was a simple ceremony held in their house.

According to her, Greener is her deepest and greatest love and they do things together all the time. They are however determined to protect something that is private to them. Hall has stuck to this principle over time but she has occasionally relented and offered some rare glimpses into their dynamic as a couple.

For instance, on Valentine’s Day 2021, she shared a throwback picture of them together and stated that while the ride can be unpredictable, it always helps when the person next to you makes the bumps easier to take. The Talk show host has also dished on the secret to their relationship in past interviews.

Greener and Hid Wife, Tamron Hall Welcomed a Son, Moses Hall Greener, in April 2019

Steve Greener and Tamron Hall make their home in Harlem and have welcomed a son named Moses Hall Greener. This is the first child for either of them and they have been treasuring each precious moment. Even before the arrival of the child, Greener and Hall hid their pregnancy from the rest of the world for a long time. They planned not to reveal it until after a successful birth but their hand was later forced after a tabloid discovered the news. Hall didn’t want to cede her joyful journey to others and so she and Greener got together and made an Instagram video in March 2019, revealing that they were expecting. By that time, her pregnancy was quite advanced and had reached the 32nd week.

Hall later revealed that why they kept their good news a secret was because her pregnancy was high-risk. According to her, she had struggled with infertility for years and even tried fertility treatments in her 30s all to no avail. By the time she and Greener got married, she was already in her late 40s but the fact that they both cherished kids meant that they decided to go ahead and try.

She underwent IVF and it was eventually successful. Her advanced age and other medical factors however meant that their chance of a full-term birth was low. She, therefore, decided to keep the news to herself until her newborn was safely in her arms. Moses arrived in April 2019 and his parents have been lavishing all their love and attention on him.

Hall sometimes shares snaps of them together on her Instagram page. She has also been revealing little tidbits about his birth during interviews and the likes. For instance, during an episode of the People Magazine Podcast in November 2021, Hall revealed that her dream was to have a baby girl so that they could bond over fashion and the like. She, therefore, had an emotional meltdown after the doctor revealed the opposite. Greener saw the funny side of the whole thing and promised to one day tell their son the story. Hall, on her own part, had a change of heart once Moses was born. In her own words, she can’t imagine having any other child other than the one she presently has.

They Plan to Raise Their Son in a Multicultural Environment

Steve Greener is white and Jewish while Tamron Hall is black and Christian. They, therefore, plan to combine their shared heritage in Moses’ upbringing. He already had the Jewish traditional ceremony of circumcision, known as Bris, as an infant. He’s also going to undergo his christening, as well as confirmation at his maternal grandma’s southern Baptist church when the time is appropriate for him to do so. Moses is presently about 4 and has enrolled in kindergarten. His proud and emotional mom took to Instagram in September 2021 to share his first day of school. She captioned it Moses first day at school and accompanied it with a whole load of crying emojis, obviously pointing out her emotional state.

Such posts regularly lead to an outpouring of supportive messages from fans but there has been some negativity as well. For instance, when Moses was about a few months old, Hall shared a picture of herself filming her show in Seattle and this led one Instagram user to quip that her baby must be missing her.

The comment was obviously meant to mommy-shame her for working, and seemingly abandoning her child, but Hall faced it head-on. She described mommy-shaming as toxic and corny and stated that her baby was right with her in Seattle. She also revealed that even when she is busy, her son has his dad, his granny, as well as a nanny to take care of him; thus quashing the insinuation that he had been abandoned.
