Don Lemon and his fiancé are looking to start a family

Aren't they a little old?

I’m genuinely shocked Don, who considers himself the MLK Jr of cable news, is married to a white man 😏

They're so old. Imagine being on medicare with a kid in high school.

Of course he has a white lover, the black gay men who scream the most about social justice always do.

Don Lemon tries so hard to be cool but he's always just lame.

I hope they avoid surrogacy.

R3 Hi sis!

Nestor will be looking for a new daddy soon.

R3

Oh please. Are you aware of just how many gay singles and couples became fathers in their 40's or even 50's? Surrogacy is all about cash baby.... If some 40 year old woman and her nearly 50 year old husband can hire a surrogate, or worse parents in their 60's whose son died young unexpectedly, but they want grandchildren can hire a womb, why could gay men be any different.

r8 Such cynicism!

File this news under "Who cares Rose!".

FWIU Don Lemon was always a snow queen. Nothing new to report on that front, and he got his man.

[Quote]I’m genuinely shocked Don, who considers himself the MLK Jr of cable news, is married to a white man

But he's a [italic]woke[/italic] White guy.

I was going to make a comment about them being too old, but apparently the fiancé is only 36. I thought he was 50+.

[quote]Tim is definitely going to have to be the one to have the kid because he’s younger. His body will bounce back faster.

What does this mean? The husband is going to be the primary carer for the kid?

His boyfriend is 20 years younger than him? How cliché.

Being a TV journalist in a mixed race relationship with a much younger partner and having a kid by surrogate is SO reductive.

He's always gotta follow Andy and Anderson, doesn't he?

I have no idea who any of these people are nor do I care to.

Don Lemon was a "respectable" bougie Black guy who lived for being not like other Black guys. He would bash people from the ghetto, Black activists, the Ferguson riots, Black Lives Matter and tons of Black celebs yet kiss up to white people. He was also skeptical towards Obama. He seemed like he was a closet Republican for years.

It wasn't until Trump came into office that Lemon became "woke" and starting bashing Republicans. Which shows he's all about the money and does whatever CNN pays him to do. Either way he's kind of a joke to journalism since he can't be impartial and remove emotion from his reporting.

Don Lemon should play Tom from The Boondocks actually if they make a live action remake.

R20 How do you know this? Have you socialized with him? I don't recall him insinuating any of this through his CNN broadcasts.

R15

Many gay couples like to joke about having babies as if one of them actually will become pregnant. It is of course rubbish, but is right up there with gays calling each other by female pronouns and so forth.

If the comment about body bouncing back was left out it could have meant younger partner would be donating sperm.

R21

Poor r15. Born without any sense of humor.

It’s not just black gay men, but black people in general. Look at Tamron - she had her baby with a white man. Black people are always talking about being proud of being black, yet only want someone white.

Lemon, 54, and Malone, 36 - I don't know which I'm more surprised about that Lemon is 54 or Malone is only 36.

Of course, we don't even need to go into the age difference.

That's like shooting fish in a barrel - what's the DL version of that - snatching a purse flying out of mouths at stylists' convention?

R27

My issue is not who they date. Sexual racial preferences or whatever are something that's personal. My issue is the hypocrisy of people like Don Lemon. He spent years bashing lower-class and uneducated Black people and generalizing the Black community as bad. Now, if he was hosting discussions on fixing problems within the Black community in a Black space then that would be fine. But he did this on national TV on CNN for a majority-white audience and seemed to fulfill the stereotypical "good, safe Black man" who is not like the other Blacks. It's not that difference from people like Candace Owens and Stacey Dash though he never went as far as they did in terms of their deplorableness or homophobia obviously being a gay man. But still he only became pro-Black and "woke" after Trump was elected and CNN told him to get with it. I don't find him sincere at all because of the 180 turn he pulled.

White cracks, Black don't, R28.

Lemon looks 50+ now.

Just so irritating that he plugged his book on his show for months.

Isn’t that like Cuomo interviewing his brother?

CNN needs to silence that.

MSNBC stars like Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes also get their books logrolled by other MSNBC stars.N

Lemmon's cute, but showing his age.

Ugh, Lemon,

He carried on so badly on air after Aretha passed there was even a thread about it on here. Acted like he lost a close friend. It was completely over the top.

Meanwhile, he was partying out in the Hamptons the day of her funeral.

That's a pretty rough 36....

They have to be the blandest two people I've ever seen. You would think adding some coffee into the cream would liven it up, but no, they both have to be the most generic people anywhere.

[quote] I was going to make a comment about them being too old, but apparently the fiancé is only 36. I thought he was 50+.

Wait, I thought they were both the same age - mid-50s. They look about equal age-wise so it’s shocking that the fiancé is 20 years younger. Don’t white gays moisturize or do skin care?

[quote]What does this mean? The husband is going to be the primary carer for the kid?

No, it’ll be easier for him to lose the pregnancy weight, which I don’t even know if it’s true. Blacks can lose weight easier than whites.

Ugh Don wants viewers to think he is a small town southern boy.

But he is living the high life in Sag Harbor & Harlem.

[quote]That's a pretty rough 36....

Don doesn’t care. He’s just happy to have a white kang!

What’s a white Kang?

Don is 55. Not one is this kid going to grow up with two dads, but at his high school graduation, one of his dads will be 75 years old. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. Most people still need their parents into their 20s, 30s, and 40s. To have a kid at that age, gay or straight, is pretty selfish.

But on the other hand, if he kicks the bucket, the partner is young enough to finish raising the kid. And the partner will get Don's CNN money.

Gays shouldn’t raise children.

R45 Go take a nap on the freeway.

[quote]What’s a white Kang?

It’s a joke. Google it if you don’t understand.

Maybe we need to make an inoculation that renders men’s sperm unviable at 45 or 50?

Andy, Anderson, now Don.

Maybe DTM is next too for surrogate.

These guys want to spread their seed for legacy.

Shepard Smith better get moving. He's already 57.

Like other gay celebs, Don want babies as a status symbol, like owning a Tesla.

R48 your dad should have been on that list at 16 years old

[quote] Tim is definitely going to have to be the one to have the kid because he’s younger. His body will bounce back faster.

[quote] What does this mean? The husband is going to be the primary carer for the kid?

Probably means that Tim will be the sperm donor. Older sperm may cause problems, I guess.

Whoever makes less money (betw. Don & husband) will probably end up doing more hands-on child care.

I'm sure these 2 will hire nannies to "help out."

R14, same here. Sheesh, 36? He's gonna need (more) work in another 4-5 years.

If Tim is the donor, I wonder if they'll use a POC egg donor.

No, Don doesn’t want a black baby.

Don's baby will be whiter than Paris Jackson.

I'm shocked that "The Tamron Hall Show" is still in existence.

R56 Sad thing is you know that’s probably how he feels.

Don needs some Visine or something. His eyes are so red!

Don is 55 years old. Does she want to be 75 years old at her kids high school graduation?

[quote] No, Don doesn’t want a black baby.

Then he'd better adopt.

Will the BRF be asking about the color of Don’s baby?

Well r4 r27 r29..... some people shade Don Lemon for his white husband, but Jussie EXCLUSIVELY takes dates dark chocolate mens and nobody likes him either 😆

Ah yes, another instance of men using women's bodies for their benefit.

I like Don, but he can fuck off.

mixed baby?

R2, Yousa a dumb ass bitch. MLK Jr. would welcome interracial marriage. Wouldn't he's being gay that fucks white men only make him more revolutionary, and woke in your distorted liberal worked view?

On another note just as with (rumored) Donald Trump and scores of other old men who have kids, those children are entitled to Social Security benefits once parent begins drawing SS.

R68, I had no idea about that. That's fucked up. If you're a man who chooses to knock up your trophy wife, or if you're a woman who uses donor sperm or eggs as part of your mid-life crisis, then you should work longer to financially support your decision.

I have a relative who is on disability. Doesn't have to work and gets a check each month. It's not as good as working, but at least she gets to stay home with the kids, and now doesn't have to pay for child care. BUT...each kid is also receiving a disability-check even though neither has any health problems. Because the mom gets a payout, the dependent kids do, too. Her spouse has a solid job with great pay and benefits.

How would Trump's kids be eligible. It says dependent children. They are not dependent.

R70, Barron is dependent. Tiffany may have been dependent for a year or so when Trump became eligible.

R69

There was an older male member of Congress (senator?) several years back though far from poor (in fact rather well off) whose children were getting SS payments because he "retired" as in collecting SS, so his young dependent children were eligible.

Situation was as another poster described IIRC, older man married a younger woman and began breeding children.

At time story made news media and congressman in question defended the situation and squashed any ideas of SS payments to children being means tested.

Again no small number of children of elder fathers or mothers are receiving payments. If they do nothing else but put that money into investments over a ten or whatever year period will have a sizable nest egg when they age out of SS payments.

More:

It gets better...

Though perverse nature of SS benefits Mrs. Trump could have received payments for providing "care" to young Barron Trump until he was 16 years of age. MT also qualifies for spousal SS benefits as well.

WTF would Melania get paid SS to "care" for Barron when she chose to marry an OLD ass man and have a kid with him?

Anderson Cooper who will reach SS age in about ten or so years if he files would make his son eligible for SS payments, *junior* will only be about 11 or 12 if one has numbers correct.

R75

Same reasons why tons of other women (and now men) who never worked a day in their lives and or for not very long get SS spousal benefits, this regardless of actual financial need. It just is how program is set up.....

Social Security at basic level is an anti-poverty program for women and children of *workers* who historically got sticky end of lollipop if a husband/father failed to provide.

How old is this bch damn

Hey Defacto @ R45; Eat the corn out of your parents shit.

Can he even stop crying long enough to raise kids?

[quote]Ah yes, another instance of men using women's bodies for their benefit.

Question: Do you bitch like this with the same energy when straight couples use surrogates or when females use sperm banks?🧐

Dogs are much easier solution than babies.

I don't like the husband's face. It's unsettling.

“Daddy, will you marry Papa?”

I. Can't. Believe. It.

My senior citizen mom adores him.

He can adopt her.

Sometimes I think there’s something wrong with me because I’m a 50 something gay man who has no interest in having a goddamn baby. I mean I should want one, but I don’t.

#ChildFree

Sort of figures he married a white guy.

For what???? He's old as fuck! He's gonna crack his hip chasing the kid around.

r86 I do find the generational divide on this issue fascinating .It seems from surveys that many younger gay men see it as a unquestioning given that they will be able to pursue having children if they so wish. How many of them ultimately do will be interesting.

Who are all these women who act as surrogates? Seems like easier ways to make a few thousand bucks.

R90 there is a generation gap right there: Don is old enough to be his bf's father.

Malone is a real estate agent with hair plugs. Don could have done MUCH better.

Don Lemon can now join the other awful narcissistic father group consisting of Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, and Yom Daley! Those poor children 😞

We're concerned about... y'know, what the child's skin color will be.

I like Don, but I'm getting tired of the blushing bride act. Get married, don't get married, who cares? Having kids at age 55 is odd and not for me. Plus Lemon's chatter about it is rather insufferable just like the nauseating "Bro, I love you" and "D. Lemon" bullshit between him and Cuomo on CNN. There is no need for two co-workers to say "I love you" every goddamn night. Their cross-chatter goes on way too long. Their extended love-fest all the time is sickening, inappropriate and cringeworthy.

Zip it, Lemon. STFU and tell Cuomo the same. I am a MSNBC and Lawrence O'Donnell fan so I'm not tuned into CNN all that much. But even the few times I've seen it, it just makes me gag. If you want to see how cross-chatter is done well. Tune into the pass-off between Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. It's just enough. I have never heard either one of them say "I love you" to each other. And they don't make you want to throw up.

No one cross-chatters with Brian Williams and I wonder why.

Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper having a babies at 55 aint the same as you and I deciding to have a baby at that age. They are wealthy and it will be their partners and well paid nannies taking care of the day to day tasks that comes with new babies.

While becoming a first time parent at 55 is definitely pushing it, it’s not all that crazy in monied Manhattan circles. A lot of older parents.

no one has a kid @ 25 anymore.

he should fit in as an older daddy just fine.

i’m betting they have a kid before the wedding.

[quote.]R99 While becoming a first time parent at 55 is definitely pushing it, it’s not all that crazy in monied Manhattan circles. A lot of older parents.

I’d think someone would be better at parenting when older vs. younger. You just know more.

I had a drink with him years ago. He was weirdly aggressive and argumentative and seemed eager to impress while being incredibly arrogant. I assume he is a "snow queen." He's a bit of an odd duck but doesn't seem like a bad guy.

But I hope the "thinking about starting a family" thing is a publicity stunt because it's really selfish to have a baby at 55. Kids shouldn't have to go through high school praying daddy will live long enough to see them graduate.

It's so selfish on the kids life r101.

When the kid is 22 and just get started as a real person....their parent is 79? Close to death.

It robs of the kid of having their parent around that long.

r102 how long ago was this? Were you just acquaintances having drink or was it something more.

r98 You dont think Anderson and Don will ever change babys nappies or that Elton John ever did so??

Agree with R103. Parenting doesn't end when the kid turns 18. Most people depend on their parents for support, guidance, and even money into their 20s, 30s, and beyond.

[quote] Who are all these women who act as surrogates? Seems like easier ways to make a few thousand bucks.

Anderson Cooper’s surrogate got $500,000. What could be an easier way to earn that much?

[quote] i’m betting they have a kid before the wedding.

And have a kid out of wedlock? Why would they do that unless it was an accident?

They already have a couple name Malemon. Malone + Lemon.

Their dogs (Barkley Malemon and Boomer Malemon) already use this last name so their children could too.

If they get pregnant first, they must have a shotgun wedding.

R107 That carrier must have very special genes to justify half a million.

Its Tim’s birthday, he seems like a NYC Starfucker.

Happy 36th birthday, Tim Malemon! 🎂💦🎉

^^^

the wet emoji, will don & tim make a baby tonight?

How long will it take Don to gestate?

"Question: Do you bitch like this with the same energy when straight couples use surrogates or when females use sperm banks?🧐"

Yes.

R103 fuck off with that nonsense. Having kids young is no guarantee you'll be around for any of it. Have kids at the age you're ready to.

Don Lemon is not for to be a father. All the video clips of him out in the world will embarrass that poor child and turn it bad.

[quote]How long will it take Don to gestate?

Donna is well past menopause at 55. She might have to do a Janet Jackson and fake the whole thing.

Give me Richard Quest. Sex, drugs, and did a story on banning babies from business class.

I had a friend with a very wealthy dad who was in his late 60's when we were in middle school. His mom was his secretary - the total cliche. One advantage of being a senior dad is that you get more time with your children if you are in retirement age when they are still children. They did long trips over the summer, his dad was around a lot to support, and usually this is the period of life when you have the most money.

Don's father was a lawyer and he died when he was a kid.

I don't know why the phrase "starting a family" bugs me, but it does. Though not as much as "we're pregnant", which is probably what this couple will say when their surrogate conceives.

The phrase "starting a family" invalidates married/partnered couples who don't have kids. A person and his or her partner are already a family. When you have a kid, you are adding to your family, not starting it.

Get a cat, ladies. You’re both way too old for a baby.

Of course he’s with a white 😂😂😂

He’s a snow queen. He wouldn’t be with a black. He’s terrible
