It’s been just three short months since Joe Scarborough dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime on-air partner and Morning Joe co-host, Mika Brzezinski. The couple has wasted no time diving headfirst into wedding planning! In a candid interview with Closer Weekly, Joe opened up about their big day, which promises to be an intimate affair filled with laughter, love, and even a few unexpected surprises.
Let's rewind a bit: Do you remember when George Clooney was married to Talia Balsam? Neither do we! But here's the scoop on Joe and Mika—this is a love story that's been years in the making, and it's finally coming to fruition.
Keeping It Intimate: Joe's Vision for Their Special Day
When asked about the scale of the wedding, Joe, 54, revealed that he and Mika are determined to keep things as low-key as possible. “We’re going to work on [keeping it] as small as possible,” he told Closer during an event at the Cutting Room in NYC. Now here's the kicker—Joe jokingly mentioned that MSNBC's own Willie Geist might just step in as flower girl. Talk about adding a touch of humor to the proceedings!

But let's be real—Joe and Mika aren't your typical couple. Their romance has always been shrouded in mystery, even though they've shared the spotlight on Morning Joe for years. When Mika was asked earlier this year by GQ if there was more to their relationship, she kept things close to the vest, saying, “I really don’t want to talk about my personal life.”
Still, Joe couldn't help but drop a few hints about their chemistry during a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter. “We have a crackling on-air chemistry, and a crackling off-air chemistry, too. I think that pretty much says it, doesn’t it?” he teased in April.
