“Morning Joe” hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough appeared to acknowledge a Page Six exclusive about their rumored romance during a flirtatious on-air exchange Thursday.
Brzezinski, turning to her co-host toward the beginning of the show, said, “Can I get to the lead stories now?”
“By the way,” Scarborough responded, with a devilish smirk on his face, “there are a lot of lead stories today” — prompting hearty laughter from the MSNBC set.
“I will finish your sentence and start with politics,” Brzezinski said, shifting to discussing Donald Trump.
The coy exchange was a clear reference to Page Six, which quoted one NBC insider as saying: “Everybody at 30 Rock knows they are a couple … They are constantly together, they arrive and leave events together, even on weekends. They are each other’s publicists and finish each other’s sentences. It’s the worst-kept secret in TV.”
Both anchors are divorced and are considering going public as a couple, Page Six reported.
