Former CNN Host Don Lemon Marries Husband Tim Malone
Don Lemon and Tim Malone have publicly announced their marriage on Instagram, sharing a delightful photo captioned “Just married!”
The picture captures the two grooms, elegantly dressed in tuxedos, leaving a church with beaming smiles while holding their three adorable dogs, who are sporting bow-tied collars.
Additional footage shared on Lemon’s and Malone’s Instagram Stories showcases the couple being cheered on by guests, who form a lively procession behind them, waving blue handkerchiefs as they make their way to a wedding reception at Ralph Lauren’s Polo Bar.
The wedding ceremony took place in New York City at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, with Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, officiating the union.
The joyous occasion was attended by 140 guests, as reported by People magazine. Allison Gollust, Lemon’s representative, expressed that the couple had a truly beautiful wedding and are overjoyed with their new marital status.
“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 donned matching velvet tuxedos – Lemon in green and Malone in blue – and participated in the African-American custom of jumping over a broom to conclude the wedding ceremony, as per People magazine.
Notable attendees at the event were 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?”
