After initially denying to go on a date with Schmit, Capehart later found himself in a situation when he had two dates in rapid succession.
During their dates, they had conversations on varied topics — from their 13-year age gap between them to where they got their hair cut to sharing their political opinions.
Two years after dating, Capehart eventually gave Schmit a key to his apartment.
And when marriage equality became the law of the land in 2015, The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart host’s friends asked when he was going to propose to his partner.
Soon Capehart met Schmit’s family at their lake house in Ottertail, Minnesota, which was followed by a surprise proposal during the pair’s visit to Positano, Italy, in 2016.
