Al Roker and Deborah Roberts’ daughter, Leila Roker, is engaged to longtime boyfriend Sylvain Gricourt.
“Well, it is now official. @gricourt.thegreat has proposed to my little girl, @leilaroker in the romantic city of Venice,” Al captioned the celebratory Instagram post shared Sunday.
“We could not be happier, and look forward to planning for these two wonderful young folks coming together,” the “Today” weatherman concluded the caption of the engagement photos.
Leila, 26, also took to her Instagram account to announce her engagement Gricourt, 33.
“8 years ago, I moved to Paris 🇫🇷, 7 years ago I met my person and best friend 💖, and 2 days ago, that person took me on the most amazing surprise trip to Venice 🇮🇹 to ask me to spend the rest of our lives together 💍 💕💕,” she gushed in the caption of the photo carousel shared Sunday.
Roberts — who also shares son Nicholas with Al — took to the comments of the post to congratulate her daughter.
“We could not be happier and more joyful!!!! Welcome to the family Sylvain! Now let’s plan a wedding! 🔔 ❤️❤️,” the ABC News journalist gushed.
Leila, a freelance journalist and content creator, wore a little black dress for her engagement photos while Gricourt opted for a black jacket and matching pants.
Gricourt popped the question to Leila with a pear-shaped diamond ring.
“Just two days ago I put a ring on her finger, and that’s the best thing I did in the last 33 years 💍❤️,” the groom-to-be captioned the engagement announcement via Instagram.
He also added, “@leilaroker qu’est-ce que tu dis de passer les 33 prochaines ensemble, et toutes celles d’après ?” which translates to, “What do you say about spending the next 33 together, and all the ones after that?”
The couple received many congratulatory comments on their engagement announcement, including one from Good Morning America co-host, Robin Roberts.
“Congratulations…incredibly happy for you!❤️❤️,” Robin penned in the caption of Leila’s post.
In the days leading up to to the engagement, Leila and Gricourt took to social media to share romantic snaps from their Venice vacation.
“Caffè Florian, history in a cup, looking over piazza San Marco,” he captioned a photo carousel shared Saturday.
The Roker family recently mourned the death of Al’s first wife, Alice Bell, who died at the age of 77 last month.
Bell and Al’s only child together, Courtney Roker, 37, paid tribute to her mother with an Instagram tribute shared Feb. 10.
“She was my mother, my heart, and the most loving grandmother to Sky. I was with her for her last breath, and I will carry her love with me always,” she captioned the post.
