Don Lemon marries Tim Malone in NYC wedding attended by famous friends like Matt Lauer, Luann de Lesseps and more
Don Lemon is a married man.
The former CNN anchor, who now has his own streaming program — “The Don Lemon Show” — tied the knot with his longtime partner Tim Malone on Saturday.
Lemon, 58, and the real estate broker, 40, exchanged vows during a ceremony at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in midtown Manhattan in front of approximately 140 guests, according to People.
A number of those guests included celebrities like former “Today” show host Matt Lauer, “View” co-hosts Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, and Ana Navarro, Alec Baldwin, Clive Davis, “Real Housewives of New York City” alum Luann de Lesseps and Tamron Hall.
After saying “I do,” the grooms flashed huge smiles as they exited the church carrying their three dogs who were part of the event.
Lemon and Malone rocked velvet tuxedos by Suit Supply in different shades — the former wore green while the latter went with navy.
The ceremony will reportedly be followed by a reception at Ralph Lauren’s Polo bar, according to the Daily Mail.
The big day comes eight years after the pair, who met at Almond Restaurant in Bridgehampton, New York, first started dating. The event also fell on Malone’s birthday as well as the five-year anniversary of their engagement.
A few days prior to the wedding, Lemon and Malone said they weren’t too nervous about their big day.
“I’m a last-minute person,” Lemon told People, “and most things I just don’t worry about.”
“But this one I’m secretly worried about, but I’m letting Tim take the reins because he’s a good planner,” he continued.

“I’ll be writing questions for like the U.N. ambassador and he’ll be saying, ‘Oh, when are they going to put the buttons on our jackets?’ It’s an important question, but I’m just like, ‘Huh? What?’ So he has a million questions, but usually he gets it done without me even answering.”
The grooms incorporated marriage traditions inspired by each of their families into the ceremony, which was officiated by their “friend,” United States ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
They also wanted a big wedding despite having such a long engagement.
“We wanted to make a public statement,” Malone told People, “and we wanted to involve our loved ones. We obviously could have easily gone to city hall. We could have used Covid as a perfect excuse to do something really quiet. But I think this is also a message. For I don’t know what percent of our guests, on both sides, but for a lot of them it’s going to be their first gay wedding.”
The newlyweds entered the church as “What a Wonderful World” play aloud. Later, they exited to “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.”
