When are Don Lemon and Tim Malone getting married?
In the wake of Don and Tim’s engagement milestone, the former told PEOPLE that he and his fiancé have not set a date yet.
The broadcaster stated: “I’m just trying to enjoy this moment of bliss, and then, whenever we get married, we get married.
“The advice I get from most people is: Don’t become obsessed with the ceremony or wedding planning — just enjoy it.”
While stopping by The Tamron Hall Show, he further explained: “I just found the right person.
“The person who believes in unconditional love, who believes in the challenges, going through the challenges, weathering the storms of a relationship because relationships aren’t easy and I don’t think they’re supposed to be easy.”
Don added: “Someone who really believes in family, and I decided you know I need to lean into my life because I grew up never thinking that I’d be able to be open about who I was in love with and about my love life and my relationship.
“I actually grew up thinking that I would never get married, or it will just be a roommate, you know, or I could never tell my family or be honest with the public about it, and then once same-sex marriage passed, I said, you know, ‘why not get married?'”
The network anchor elaborated to Tamron: “Why not, you know, fall in love and have all the happiness that everybody else is entitled to and so that’s where I am right now.
“I’m just trying to be happy and do the right thing in life and love someone and start a family.”
