Wedding Ceremony: 'I Wasn't Sure This Could Ever Happen' (Exclusive) Lemon tied the knot with Malone in New York City on April 6. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE before their wedding, the grooms shared that they weren't stressed about the momentous occasion. “I'm a last-minute person,” Lemon said, “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.” Lemon and Malone had been engaged for five years, sharing the happy news in a 2019 Instagram post. “He gave me a present on his birthday. How could I say no?” Lemon captioned two photos of dog collars that read “Daddy Will You Marry Papa?” around the necks of their pets Boomer and Barkley. Don Lemon and Tim Malone.

Lemon came out in his 2011 book Transparent. In an interview with The New York Times, the anchor said, “I think it would be great if everybody could be out. But it’s such a personal choice.” “People have to do it at their own speed. I respect that. I do have to say that the more people who come out, the better it is for everyone,” he continued. “I think if I had seen more people like me who are out and proud, it wouldn’t have taken me 45 years to say it, to walk in the truth.”
