Morning Joe Hosts Joe Scarborough & Mika Brzezinski Confirm Engagement

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are engaged to be married, cementing their relationship at a weekend proposal at the scenic Bar Bellini at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. Brzezinski celebrated her 50th birthday on the romantic trip to the south of France and Monaco. 

Scarborough remarked to The Hollywood Reporter last month that he and Brzezinski "have a crackling on-air chemistry, and a crackling off-air chemistry, too." Scarborough divorced his second wife in 2013 and Brzezinski divorced her husband in 2016. In the same interview, Scarborough made it clear that even their pets were co-mingling. 

 For Scarborough, that's a dog named Scout and a Maine Coon cat named Oliver Meatball Scarborough. Brzezinski's brood includes two dogs (Hobson and Cajun), two rabbits (Melania and Donald), two cats (Emma and Elle) and three chickens (Gina, Donna and Nugget).

"They get along great," Scarborough says. "They will always sort of spar with each other and…" Brzezinski cuts him off: "And he lets the cat get on the kitchen counter, which is just gross."

"I do not," Scarborough replies.

"We all understand that Meatball runs the house," he adds. "Even the dogs."
