Opposites really do attract!

Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are engaged.

Scarborough, a former Republican Congressman, popped the question to Brzezinski, the Democrat daughter of President Carter's national security advisor, while the two were on a romantic trip to the south of France last weekend to celebrate Brzezinski's 50th birthday.

The two finally broke their silence on their relationship in an interview with Vanity Fair, detailing the romantic moment and told how President Trump even offered to officiate their wedding at the White House.

Their engagement comes a year after Brzezinski's divorce to her first husband was finalized.

'Everyone talks about how there was always something there. Over the past year and a half, I realized I had to face these feelings and that it was time to stop putting them in a box,' Brzezinksi told the magazine. 'It was not an easy process and it was not an easy set of decisions for either of us. It was something I couldn’t deny anymore.'

Scarborough, who has been married two times, says he's certain this wedding will be his last.

'We want to spend the rest of our lives together,' he said.

The two returned to work from their holiday on Tuesday, Mika's actually birthday, but it wasn't until this morning's show that Brzezinski was seen wearing her engagement ring - an oval diamond on a platinum band.

Back to work: The newly-engaged couple returned to work on Tuesday, but it wasn't until Thursday that Brzezinski was seen wearing her ring. She also held up a cover of the New York Post, which has a cover story on the proposal - but they never addressed the news

Brzezinski says she was suspicious when Scarborough wanted to whisk her away last week to the French Riviera resort town of D'Antibes, since the hotel he booked - The Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc - was the nicest place they had ever stayed at before.

But she says she put that thought aside when he didn't pop the question the first night.

'He can’t keep a secret. He just can’t. He always blurts stuff out,' Brzezinski said.

The moment finally came on their last night at the hotel, as they were walking up from the hotel's pool to the main mansion to get a drink at the bar.

'Halfway up the hill, he said he needed to sit down,' Brzezinski said. 'We hadn’t been feeling well, so I thought, Oh, poor guy, he can’t make it up the hill.'

'His glasses were fogging up he was so nervous. I kept thinking he really must not have felt well,' she said.

That's when Scarborough pulled out the ring he had been hiding in his suitcase the whole trip.

Brzezinski said she started laughing nervously when she saw the ring, but then said 'absolutely' as soon as he popped the question.

Scarborough said that when he put the ring on Brzezinski's finger 'it looked like it was meant to be there'.

The two said they had talked about getting married a few months ago, but that Scarborough was hesitant because of his two failed marriages.

However, he finally decided to go through with it based on their great working relationship.

'It’s the one part of my life that unfortunately I haven’t gotten right in the past. I thought after the last time that I would never, ever do this again in a million years,' Scarborough said. 'Then it occurred to me that with us working together and being live on the air every day for three hours that we were forced, no matter what disagreements we had, what misunderstandings we had, to work through it and get right with each other by 5:59am.'

Scarborough and Brzezinski haven't set a date yet, but they say they've gotten some interesting offers for wedding venues.

Look of love: The co-hosts have been sparking rumors of their off-air relationship for the past year. They spend much of their off-air time together, even going on vacations with each other

During a meeting with in January, President Trump reportedly joked over lunch that the two could get married at the White House.

Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and advisor, then interrupted and said that he could officiate the ceremony since he has a license, having performed Eric and Lara Trump's ceremony.

'Why would you marry them?' Trump reportedly said. 'They could have the President of the United States marry them.'

Brzezinksi says she likes the idea of a White House wedding, but not with Trump in office.

'The White House that I grew up in was an amazing place. If it weren’t Trump, it might be something to think about,' she said. 'The mental picture is just fascinating, but the reality is just . . . no. No, no, no, no, no.'

Secret: Last week, Brzezinski posted a picture of her riding in a car with her co-host hinting at the 'elephant in the room'

The engagement comes a year after Brzezinski finalized her divorce with her husband of 23 years, James Hoffer.

The network confirmed their separation last June, but Brzezinski told Vanity Fair on Thursday that they had really split all the way back in December 2015. Scarborough has been married twice. He divorced from his second wife, former Jeb Bush aide Susan Waren, in 2013.

Brzezinski has two daughters from her previous marriage and Scarborough has four children - two adult sons from his first marriage and a 13-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son from his second marriage.

The romance has blossomed across the political divide, with Scarborough a Republican and Brzezinski a Democrat.

With news of the engagement already on the cover of a newspaper, Morning Joe opened Thursday morning at 6am with no direct mention of the engagement, but lots of tongue in cheek joking.

Contributors Harold Ford and Willie Geist sat at the table with the cohosts and congratulated the pair at the beginning of the show, who then said, 'thank you.'

Joe paused and added, 'the ratings are up!'

Congratulations: The pair smiled and accepted congratulations - on 'their ratings' - from people at the table and cheeky Mark Halperin during Thursday's show

After they threw to Mark Halperin via satellite and he said, 'congratulations too about those ratings,' with the future bride and groom again thanking him for... their ratings.

Mika then held up the cover of the New York Post for viewers, which features their engagement on the top corner, pointing to the Anthony Weiner story and saying nothing of the news.

The veiled congratulations kept coming in throughout the morning, as politicians appeared on the show to speak about the new health care bill.

Sen. Bob Corker said he thought he was bring brought on 'to make a big announcement' and that his staff just told him about 'some news' the pair had.

'Thank you for being kind enough to take note of our recent ratings,' Scarborough said back, blushing.

On and off-air couple: The couple's off-air relationship has been one of cable news' worst-kept secrets

Scarborough and Brzezinski's on-air chemistry sparked rumors about their personal lives as soon as Mika got divorced last summer.

When the Post reported in June that Brzezinski and her husband had quietly divorced, they said that the on-air pair 'could soon go public as a couple'.

The rumors have only gained traction throughout the year, with the co-hosts often attending events together and Brzezinski posting pictures of her and Scarborough spending time together in their down time.

During their infamous spat with now-President Trump in the run up to the election, The Donald even appeared to out them as a couple.

'Some day, when things calm down, I'll tell the real story of [Scarborough] and his very insecure long-time girlfriend, [Brzezinski]. Two clowns!' Trump tweeted in August.

Last month, Scarborough appeared to joke about the not-so-secret relationship, telling the Hollywood Reporter that he and Brzezinski have 'crackling off-air chemistry'.

Just before their trip, the two got into an on air argument in which Scarborough called Brzezinski 'snotty' and 'rude' for interrupting. He later apologized for the comments on Twitter.
