Ronan Farrow proposed to Jon Lovett in 'Catch and Kill' draft: 'Marriage?'

Ronan Farrow is moving onto a new chapter, thanks to a question written in the pages of his recently released book.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist is engaged after asking "Pod Save America" co-host Jon Lovett to marry him in a draft of "Catch and Kill" released Tuesday.

“It had been a long year for me – and for us – but we hung in there," Farrow writes in his book. "Later, when I decided some of that reporting would make its way into a book, I’d send him a draft and and put in a question, right on this page: ‘Marriage? On the moon or even here on Earth?’

"He read the draft," Farrow continues, "and found the proposal here and said, ‘Sure.’ “

On Monday's episode of "Pod Save America," Farrow expressed how much Lovett's encouragement meant.

"You can imagine at a time when I'm losing my job, when I am getting lawsuit threats that are coming – not at a news organization, because I was abandoned by a news organization, but at me personally – and when I'm increasingly suspicious about a conspiracy to surveil me... what a ball of stress I was and what a pain in the (butt) I was to be in a relationship with," said Farrow before praising his fiancé.

"He, before many people did, and as many people, including those executives were saying, 'This is not a story. It will never be a story. Do we care about it all?' Jon Lovett was saying, because he is apparently from the future, 'This is a huge story, and it is hugely important for social justice,' " Farrow recalled. "And, if I hadn't had him and the brave sources who were taking such huge risks, in my ear saying, 'Hey, this matters, this matters, we matter,' and people like Rich McHugh my producer... things might've been very different, and those stories might not have broken."

In August, Farrow gushed Lovett was a "straight shooter respected on all sides" in and Instagram birthday post. "He’s okay, I guess!" Farrow sarcastically added.
