It'll be a warm wedding for daytime TV's perkiest personality.
Katie Couric is set to walk down the aisle with John Molner this summer, according to People.
The 56-year-old broke the news to Howard Stern on Friday evening during his 60th birthday party in New York City.
So far, the talk show host has been keeping her wedding plans quiet, saying that her fiance is the one planning the event and it will be limited to family and close friends.
'It will just be a small dinner in New York,' the talk show host revealed to The Hollywood Reporter at the Sundance Film Festival.
'Actually, he's the wedding planner!' she said of her fiancé.
The wedding with be the second one for both parties, as Molner is divorced from his first wife, Jane, and Couric lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer in 1998.
The former Today Show host announced her engagement to her boyfriend of two years over Labor Day Weekend, and while she gleefully showed off the ring on morning shows in September, the formal planning process was put on hold as she had some major career developments over the past few months.
Her eponymous afternoon talk show was cancelled after two seasons and now she has been named as Yahoo!'s 'Global Anchor'.
The switch led to a pay cut, as her contract with ABC for her talk show was estimated to be around $20m per season and now she will earn $6m through the Yahoo partnership, but the work is expected to be part time.
She has also expressed her interest in working on more documentaries as she says the films 'are replacing journalism in some cases'.
Couric was in Utah for the premier of her first such documentary, Fed Up, which looks at the food industry's role in America's obesity problem.
She did not give any indication about when her wedding will take place, but when she first announced her engagement, she said that they would likely wait until her younger daughter Carrie leaves for college.
Carrie turned 18 on January 5, and will likely graduate this spring meaning that the aforementioned dinner could be happening in the coming months.
'I want to get her off into the world and enjoy her last year at home,' Couric previously said to People magazine.
Couric has two daughters from her first marriage to Jay Monahan who died due to colon cancer in 1998. She has had a few serious relationships over the past 15 years but this is her first engagement.
