Willie Geist says the romantic relationship that developed between his MSNBC colleaguesJoe ScarboroughandMika Brzezinski who got together in 2016 and then engaged this May was a natural progression.

You had two single people, I think they always had a good relationship, they always had good chemistry, so I was not surprised by it. I was happy for them, Geist told Andy Cohen on Mondays episode of Watch What Happens Live.

When Cohen vivaciously added that the sexual chemistry was always crackling between them, Geist wholeheartedly agreed: And on the air! On the air you saw it.

Geist said the wedding is going to be a big fancy thing and that hed be there but didnt elaborate on the pairs plans.

Geist made an appearance on the May 4 edition of Morning Joe just hours after Page Six broke the news that the couple had gotten engaged and he was a little less direct about the impending nuptials. After one panelist offered up congratulations to the couple, Geist playfully added, Numbers have been up lately. Show is going well!

Scarborough, 54, popped the question toBrzezinski in Mayduring a romantic vacation to the south of France for her 50th birthday. Mika turned 50 and realized she wanted to move forward with her life and spend every minute with Joe, and not just at work, a source close to Brzezinski dished at the time.

Page Six exclusively revealed in June 2016 that the pair was involved in a hush-hush romance after Brzezinski and her husband of more than two decades divorced. This will be twice-divorced Scarboroughs third marriage.
