NBC Sports' Josh Elliott and WABC's Liz Cho are engaged!

Elliott's former Good morning America colleague, Sam Champion, confirmed the news Monday, tweeting, "Im not going to b at work tomorrow. @JoshElliott32 and @LizCho7 announced their engagement tnite!!" In another tweet, the Weather Channel's anchor and managing editor added, "I LOVE U 2!" Elliott retweeted his friend and added, "Friends get no better..." He also thanked publicist and TV star Kelly Cutrone, GMA segment producer Michael Del Moro and New York Post editor Jamie McCarty for their well wishes. Cho also retweeted Champion, although she did not add any additional commentary.

The pair began dating in 2012, after Cho split from Evan Gottlieb. The ex-spouses have a daughter, Louisa Simone, 7. Elliott, meanwhile, also has a daughter, Sarina, 6, with his ex-wife Priya Narang.

E! News has confirmed the engagement via a source.

The New York Post's Page Six first reported the couple's engagement Monday. Sources claimed that Elliott and Cho, both 43, were vacationing in Europe just before Labor Day. It was sometime during their getaway that Elliott decided to propose. "He gave her a simple gold band that was a family heirloom and meant a lot to him," a source told the daily gossip column. "It's been very low-key, and people may not have even realized she was engaged, because she's not wearing a standard diamond engagement ring."

"They have just started revealing the news to close family and friends," the source added.
