The pair who are enjoying each other's company for more than two years shared a memorable New Year’s kiss in New Orleans on live TV last year.

A year earlier, during a New Year’s broadcast from the same New Orleans bar, the CNN host told viewers at home he was resolving to be "less self-centered" and he was "open to a relationship."

Lemon later revealed Malone was actually at the same bar celebrating the last moments of 2016.
