The Fox News senior correspondent also shared the big news with his followers. “Dreams do come true,” he captioned the same photo.

In September 2019, the couple sparked engagement rumors after the two posted photos from a trip together. At the time a fan called her then-boyfriend the “perfect” man to which the TV personality wrote back, “That’s weird because we are getting married 10/10/2020.”

Us Weekly confirmed at the time that the couple were not engaged.

From the beginning of their relationship, Dodd has been proud to call Leventhal her man. The two were first romantically linked in August after Dodd moved on from ex-boyfriend Brian Reagan.

She hinted she had a new love in her life the day after she revealed on her Instagram Stories that she was done with Reagan. “The universe is telling me I broke up with Dr. Brian, woo! And they all know why,” Dodd gushed via Instagram Story on Thursday, August 15. “You know what Rick, you’re a good guy!”

The couple became Instagram official a little over a week later. On Friday, August 23, she shared a picture with her man writing, “My Prince came across the pond to see me!! @rickleventhal I am one lucky girl!! #london #princecharming #anchorman.”

Dodd dated Reagan after splitting from her ex-husband, Michael Dodd, in 2017. She shares a daughter, Jolie, 13, with Dodd.

Leventhal is also a father. He has two children, daughters Veronica, 28, and Shoshanna, 23, with his ex-wife, Penny Daniels. He was then married to Beth Shak but the two got divorced in 2017 after nine months of marriage.
