AceShowbiz - Former CNN host Don Lemon, a familiar face in American journalism, has recently shared his aspirations for fatherhood and a glimpse into his life after an illustrious career at CNN. Married to real estate broker Tim Malone since April 6 in a celebrity-attended ceremony in New York City, Lemon has expressed his and Malone's desires to expand their family beyond their "three fur babies."
"I can't tell you when," Lemon teased during an interview with E! News, hinting at their family planning but keeping details under wraps. "But yes, we are planning something, and we'll let you know when," he added, joking about Malone shouldering the responsibility of child-rearing due to his ability to "bounce back."
The couple's journey together began in 2016, eventually leading to their engagement in 2019. Throughout their relationship, the topic of starting a family has been on the table, with discussions around adoption and surrogacy as potential paths to parenthood.
However, Lemon's personal life is just one side of the story. Professionally, he has faced challenges and changes. Departing CNN in 2023 after controversial comments about Nikki Haley and a claimed unwillingness to feature "bigots and liars" on air, Lemon's journey took an unexpected turn. A planned venture with Elon Musk's platform, X, was also canceled in March, marking another professional shift for the former news anchor.
The couple's relaxed approach to starting a family mirrors Lemon's adaptability in his career. Despite the setbacks, Lemon's move away from traditional news platforms hints at the evolving nature of journalism and how personalities navigate their careers in an ever-changing media landscape.
As Don Lemon navigates through these life changes, his story resonates with many who admire his courage to rebuild and to plan for a future that includes both personal happiness and professional fulfillment. For young followers of Lemon's journey, his path underscores the importance of embracing change and looking forward to what life holds beyond the public eye.
