They’re married!
Don Lemon and Tim Malone made it Instagram official, sharing a “Just married!” photo on Saturday night, five years to the day after their engagement. In it, the two tuxedo-clad grooms are exiting a church, wearing big smiles and holding their three dogs, who wear tux-like, bow-tied collars.
Video shared in Lemon's and Malone's Instagram Stories shows guests forming a second line behind the couple and waving blue handkerchiefs as they head to a wedding reception at Ralph Lauren's Polo Bar.
Former CNN news anchor Lemon, 58, and his real-estate broker husband wed in New York City in a ceremony attended by 140 guests, according to People. The wedding at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Manhattan was officiated by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
The couple had a "beautiful wedding," Lemon's representative, Allison Gollust, told USA TODAY on Sunday. "They are thrilled."
“I never thought that I would get married,” “The Don Lemon Show” host told People, which published exclusive photos from the event. “For so many years of my growing up and hiding things, I never thought it could happen legally.”
The grooms wore marching velvet tuxedos – green for Lemon and blue for Malone – and in African-American tradition, jumped a broom at the end of the wedding, People reported. Celebrity guests included Matt Lauer, Clive Davis, Joy Behar, Tamron Hall, Dana Bash and Alec and Hilaria Baldwin.
“We wanted to make a public statement, and we wanted to involve our loved ones,” Malone told People. “For a lot of them it's going to be their first gay wedding.”
The couple have been engaged since 2019, when Malone popped the question by putting tags on their dogs’ collars that read: “Daddy will you marry Papa?”
“He gave me a present on his birthday,” Lemon wrote when he announced their engagement on social media. “How could I say no?”
