The news was revealed live on air as the doctor spoke about taking part in Dry January, with co-host George Stephanopoulos breaking the big news. Jennifer also shared the news on her Instagram with a loved-up photo of her and her new fiancé, although she didn't show off the engagement ring. The mom-of-two looked beautiful in a gorgeous pink dress, as she styled out several bracelets, with Tom looking very dapper in a black suit.

Last year, Tom was awarded with the Medal for Outstanding Public Service, and Jennifer accompanied him to the ceremony.

Jennifer was previously married to surgeon Robert Ashton Jr., and she shared two children with him, Chloe and Alex.

The pair divorced in 2017, and sadly two weeks after it was finalised, Robert took his own life.
