Lemon shared a lovely post on Instagram, which showed how the dogs bore the "big" question on their leashes. The star host wrote in the caption:

"He gave me a present on his birthday. How could I say no?"

While Don, 53, is a successful TV star, his lover is no exception as he is a successful real estate agent. Tim Malone, 35, studied History and Journalism at Boston College, and after graduation, he worked briefly at NBC.
