All about Tim Malone as CNN anchor Don Lemon weds the property agent in NYC ceremony

Well-known journalist Don Lemon tied the knot on April 6, 2024, with his longtime partner, Tim Malone. While Don's career on CNN is known by everyone, Malone has been serving as a real estate agent at Douglas Elliman Real Estate since February 2020.

The pair exchanged vows in a ceremony organized at the New York-based Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church. Around 140 guests were invited to the event, and the news comes five years after Malone popped the question to Lemon in Manhattan.

Don Lemon had previously addressed his wish to expand the family after marriage in an interview with People magazine. He told the outlet that he and Malone were planning a lot of things, including surrogacy. He further stated:

"Tim is definitely going to have to be the one to have the kid because he's younger – his body will bounce back."

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana native said in another interview that he "never thought" of getting married considering the age gap between him and Malone. He said that Malone had a chance to marry someone since he was 40 years old and added:

"The legal part of it is a big deal because I didn't think it could happen. And for so many years of my growing up and hiding things, I never thought it could happen legally. But when you consider all the rights that people are trying to take away, I wanted to make sure that we get this done right."
