ABC News' Gio Benitez engaged to boyfriend


Talk about a perfect proposal location.

ABC News correspondent Gio Benitez, who joined the news organization in 2013, is engaged to his boyfriend Tommy DiDario. Benitez announced the engagement on his Instagram with a very romantic photo documenting the proposal, which occurred just in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

He captioned the photo, by photographer Pierre Torset, showing himself down on one knee with, "Time is what's left behind in the wake of love."

DiDario, an actor and writer, shared some similarly romantic photos after he accepted the proposal. "Today I said yes to my true partner in life, couldn't be happier to stand next to you forever," he wrote in the caption of a shot showing both men wearing rings.
