CNN anchor Don Lemon stepped out on Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend.
The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City.
It appears as though Lemon has been dating Tim Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to social media.
This is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.
The pair kept it casual for the Saturday night party that Beyonce, Jay Z, Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes, Scarlett Johansson and more all attended.

Just a few weeks ago, Lemon shared a snap of him smiling alongside Malone at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles.
That same weekend, he also posted a photo at The Peninsula Beverly Hills’ pool with his legs showing next to Malone’s above the water.
Photos of the two together go all the way back to April on Lemon’s Instagram.

Back in 2011, the popular anchor for CNN came out publicly as gay in his book, joining a small but substantial and noteworthy group of openly gay cable news anchors like Thomas Roberts, Rachel Maddow, and Anderson Cooper.
