Jonathan Lemire and his wife Carrie Melago wouldn't have ever met, let alone get married, if not for their dying passion for journalism. Lemire is a reporter and political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News while his partner is the managing editor of local news, Chalkbeat.

They have been married for over 12 years and are parents to two young boys. 

They Met in a Media House

Lemire and Melago first met when they were working as reporters at the New York Daily News. Thanks to their shared interest in journalism, they quickly became close friends. One thing led to another, and the pair eventually fell in love.

After dating for a while, they took their relationship to the next level.

On September 27, 2008, the couple shared the wedding vows in an intimate ceremony amidst close guests at the Oratory Church of St. Boniface in Brooklyn. Their marriage was officiated by Rev. Joel M. Warden, a Roman Catholic priest.

Besides having an undying love for each other, they also have a healthy amount of respect for their professions. For instance, on February 13, 2018, when Melago tweeted she was joining Chalkbeat as their managing editor, her husband retweeted it with a cute "Proud of you."

Are Blessed with Two Sons

Lemire household comprises two children, both sons.

Although Lemire and his wife are experts at breaking news to a mass, they are quite secretive about their kids. They are yet to disclose any details on either of their sons, aside fact that her older son was born in 2012. 

Melago has, however, shared her experience of motherhood, especially about the first few months of being a new mother. She penned an article on Washington Post by comparing her own experience and depiction of motherhood troubles in Netflix's The Letdown in May 2018. 

As a supportive husband, Lemire shared the article through his tweet on May 15, 2018. He also stated how proud he was of his wife for being an amazing mother to their sons.
