There must be something in the TV networks’ water because another familiar primetime face is now off the market.

Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion has plans to tie the knot with photographer beau Rubem Robierb. Champion shocked those outside his close circle of friends and coworkers when he made the first public announcement both of his engagement and his sexuality during MSNBC host’s Thomas Roberts’ nuptials last weekend.

The New York Times story announcing the couple’s happy news wrote:

“Among the 170 or so guests at the reception was Sam Champion, the weather anchor at ABC’s ‘Good Morning America.’ He took a turn on the dance floor with his partner, the photographer Rubem Robierb. ‘We’re getting married New Year’s Eve in Miami,’ Mr. Champion said in the spirit of the moment. Mr. Robierb corrected him: “We’ll do it here officially, and then have a party in Miami.’”

The two met through mutual friends a few years ago in Miami, where Robierb is based from. “We are thrilled and so excited and thank everyone for their good wishes,” says Champion.
