Katie Couric Is Engaged! John Molner Pops Question Over Labour Day Weekend
Katie Couric is engaged to her boyfriend of two years John Molner. It seems Couric accepted his proposal over the Labour Day weekend. It seems the couple were enjoying a break in East Hampton, New York, when Molner proposed on the beach at sunset, according to sources speaking to People. Molner offered his future bride a beautiful diamond engagement ring, according to Couric's representative.
The television host has been dating banker John Molner for over two years. The couple first revealed their relationship publically in April 2012. The mother-of-two was previously married to Jay Monahan but was left widowed when he died, tragically, of colon cancer in 1998. She has had numerous romantic relationships over the past fifteen years but her relationship with Molner is the first to reach this serious stage.
Couric confirmed the engagement news on Twitter, yesterday (3rd September). She wrote thanking her friends and fans for their "warm wishes".
Yes it's true! So touched by all the kind Tweets & warm wishes-thank you! A great end to the summer & looking fwd to seeing you all Monday!!
