Don Lemon brought in his boyfriend for CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast in New Orleans, and together they shared a sweet kiss.

Thankfully, Don was able to give a clarification. Apparently, he and his boyfriend met in New York City and one of their first meetings was at the same bar they were at last night.

Full circle!

Clarification. We did not meet at the bar. He was with me at the bar. We met in New York. https://t.co/lfz0IMF5un
