MSNBC's Kasie Hunt Engaged? Married? Had a Boyfriend? Closer Look on Her Personal Life

Katie Hunt is an award-winning reporter, currently applying her trades as NBC's Capitol Hill Correspondent.

Her list of accolades run long and therefore, is a subject of a spotlight to many. No wonder, her married life with her boyfriend-turned-husband gets overlooked all the time.

Meet Kasie Hunt's Husband; Married In 2017

Her husband is no other than Matt Rivera, who has been working as a producer for NBC since 2010. Currently, he functions as the Senior Digital Producer for NBC's Meet the Press (presented by Chuck Todd).

A graduate of New York University, Matt is the son of Loraine V. Vetter and Daniel O. Rivera.

After five years of dating, on 6th May 2017, the duo got married at Shenandoah Woods -- a retreat and lodge in Stanley, Va. Katie's family friend and Baptist minister, Marian Sieke officiated the wedding.

How She & Her Boyfriend-Turned-Fiance Got Engaged?

Kasie got engaged with her then-boyfriend-turned-fiancee Matt in Big Sur in front of the Santa Lucia Mountains in August 2016. The undeveloped scenic stretch, Big Sur, located in California often gets referred to as the " greatest meeting of land and water in the world." How Romantic!

Kasie with her then-fiancee even posed for pictures on Jade Clove, a small bay rich in nephrite jade located in Big Sur region on the California Coast.

NBC's Morning Joe's co-host (alongside Joe Scarborough) Mika Brzezinski was the one who broke the news and congratulated the couple first.

She revealed that Matt was the one who proposed Kasie, getting down on his one knee, touring the silent but beautiful place called Jade Clove. After hearing the fable from Mika, Morning Joe panel then went on to express their happy feelings.

Spills Beans About Boyfriend

Before the engagement, she had managed to keep her love life so low profiled that there was no news available anywhere about her past relationships (if she had) nor were there any rumors about the beautiful correspondent's fling with any man.

However, in an interview with the ‘The Hill’ in March 2016, the proud mug lover included her boyfriend in a love rectangle involving herself, her love for coffee, the 50 mugs, and her boyfriend. She claimed:-

“I’m obsessed — I couldn’t even tell you how much coffee I drink in a day. I hope I haven’t spent more than $1,000 on mugs. Hopefully, my boyfriend will put up with them living in the cabinets... I’ll pull them down off the shelf and be like, ‘Oh yeah, that time I was in South Carolina. I’m glad that election cycle’s over!’”

In retrospect, perhaps, she didn't want to name drop her then-boyfriend's name and jinx it.
