Weir later told "USA Today" that it was a "horrible time" of his life; he was going through "a really nasty divorce" from his husband Victor Voronov, with Voronov submitting a defamation suit against Weir and much of their disputes being reported in the New York tabloids and TMZ. Weir depended on Lipinski for support in Sochi, which helped them bond. He said that she "helped push me through work. Somehow, at the same time my life was falling apart, we were crushing it at work, and we were winning hearts across America". Weir served as Lipinski's "bridesman" at her 2017 wedding to sports producer Todd Kapostasy. Weir, Lipinski, and Gannon were promoted to NBC's primary figure skating commentators, replacing Scott Hamilton, Sandra Bezic, and Tom Hammond. Weir, along with Lipinski and Gannon, was an analyst at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The trio were also slotted to host the closing ceremonies in Pyeongchang.
