  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nLovett tied the knot with Ari Schwartz over Memorial Day weekend in Santa Barbara, California, according to reports from __People__ and social media posts shared by guests who attended the celebration.\n\nThe wedding was a crossover moment for queer media, politics, and internet culture, drawing congratulations from a who’s who of Democratic and LGBTQ+ circles, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Monica Lewinsky, Chris Hayes, and actor Josh Gad.\n\n**Related** : Jon Lovett warns Democrats that ‘every inch Trump gets is an inch we don’t get back’\n\nPhotos and videos posted online showed the couple smiling as they danced through a packed celebration on the packed dance floor, including a traditional chair lift during the reception. Guests also described a wedding weekend filled with comedy bits, roasts, and a rehearsal dinner staged like a variety show — a fittingly theatrical touch for Lovett, whose sharp humor has become central to Crooked Media’s political brand and his podcast __Lovett or Leave It.__\n\n> See on Instagram\n\n**Related** : Jon Lovett and Tim Miller team up to ‘raise hell’ over gay asylum-seeker vanished to El Salvador by Trump\n\nLovett and Schwartz first publicly confirmed their relationship in 2024 and announced their engagement last year. Schwartz, who joined Crooked Media in 2021, currently serves as the company’s chief of staff.\n\nThe marriage marks Lovett’s first wedding. He was previously engaged to journalist Ronan Farrow before the pair split in 2023.\n\nBefore his media career, Lovett worked as a speechwriter for former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she was a U.S. senator. He later co-founded Crooked Media alongside former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Dan Pfeifer, and Tommy Vietor, helping turn __Pod Save America__ into one of the country’s most influential political podcasts.",
