Jacqui Heinrichof Fox News and Rep.Brian Fitzpatrickare engaged. The right-leaning cable network's senior White House correspondent and the Pennsylvania congressman's engagement wasannounced exclusively by People magazine July 8. The 51-year-old Republican popped the question in a stunning lavender field in Provence in the South of France. He asked Heinrich, 36, to tie the knot with a ring chosen from her long-running family jeweler in Portland, Maine, according to the magazine. Heinrich, who does not directly cover Congress in her position reporting on the presidency, is often seen on camera in the White House press briefing room. Shetold the Boston Globe last year, "I've always dreamed of eating my way through the French Riviera and Provence, with sun-drenched days at the lavender fields punctuated by crisp wines and salty butter." Fox News' Kat Timpf received breastcancer diagnosis, had her first baby hours later So, Heinrich told People that Fitzpatrick planned a trip to her dream destination to propose: "He said, 'I'm going to take you this summer to the South of France.'" "He was like, 'We are going. We're going to the lavender fields. All I want is to see the lavender fields at sunrise,'" she told People, jokingly adding that "all the time I've known this man, he has never been desperate to see a field of flowers at dawn. So, I had a feeling that (a proposal) was the goal." "It's really beautiful," Heinrich added. "Brian did such an amazing job. I'm so impressed with him." To celebrate the engagement, the couple waited for coffee shop to open up and drank espresso together. They celebrated for less than 48 hours in France before Fitzpatrick had to head back to Washington, D.C. for work duties. "In less than 48 hours, we saw all of the cities we wanted to see during the whole 10 days we were supposed to be there. "It was honestly so memorable. I'll never forget it," Heinrich said.
