How Tom Llamas, an NBC Anchor, Spends His Sundays
Mr. Llamas, who has been racing between hurricanes and election coverage, makes time for baseball with his children and not-so-scary movies with his wife.Five nights a week, Tom Llamas is the face of election coverage for NBC News.But on Sundays, he is about 40 minutes north of NBC’s Manhattan studios working out and hitting baseballs with his son at home in Westchester County, N.Y.“In New York City with kids, you have to get up and go somewhere — whether it’s a car ride, or an Uber, or a taxi — to do anything,” said Mr. Llamas, 45, who moved with his young family to a seven-bedroom home in Purchase in 2022 after five years in a three-bedroom apartment in Midtown East. “As the kids were getting older, the process was starting to weigh on us.”The home — which is outfitted with a gym, a gymnastics area and a record room — is a welcome respite from the busy news cycle. Over the past few months, Mr. Llamas has gone to Paris to report on the Olympics; Chicago and Wisconsin to anchor from the Democratic and Republican National Conventions; and Florida and New Orleans to cover hurricanes.“What people are going through during the hurricane is way worse than what I have to go through, but it’s been incredibly difficult,” said Mr. Llamas, who was born in Miami and recently returned from an assignment covering Hurricane Milton in Florida.Mr. Llamas, who commutes to NBC Studios at 30 Rockefeller Plaza by either car or Metro-North train, lives with his wife, Jennifer Llamas, 43; two daughters, Malena, 11, and Juju, 8; and a son, Tomas, 7.Mr. Llamas and his family make breakfast together.
