Don Lemon, who used to work as a CNN host, recently married his longtime partner, Tim Malone.
According to People, the couple said their vows in front of 140 people on April 6.
The wedding took place at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. The event was led by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who is the US ambassador to the UN.
“She’s a friend, and that means a lot to us,” the 55-year-old said.

The TV reporter talked about how he and the real estate agent used customs from their own cultures.
“Tim comes from a big Irish family, so we planned a big Irish blessing for his ceremony,” he said.
“At the end, we jumped over a broom,” Lemon said, which is an African American custom. People who were slaves were not allowed to get married. The podcaster did it to honor his family.
Congratulations on your marriage!

Don’s Work Since Leaving CNN
As was already said, the reporter made a lot of money after he suddenly quit CNN. The network paid him $24.5 million to end the deal.
The award-winning reporter made a deal with X, which used to be called Twitter. After a tense conversation with Elon Musk, it was quickly canceled.
It is said that the billionaire didn’t like the way Lemon was asking questions.
The new husband can be heard on his show, “The Don Lemon Show,” which you can stream on Apple Music, iHeart Radio, and Spotify.
