Today’s co-creator Jill Martin marries Erik Brooks in New York City
Do!
Today co-author Jill Martin married Erik Brooks’s fiancé at the New York Public Library on Saturday night, page Six may reveal.
The Steals & Deals host has mated with 200 closest family members and friends, including some of her Today colleagues. Sources tell us that her father performed the ceremony after he led her down the aisle with her mother.
Martin’s representative did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
46-year-old Martin and her financier husband have come a long way down the aisle. The couple got engaged for the first time in May 2019 in the Hamptons, and the TV personality told us she was “on the moon” about the exciting development of her personal life.
“I’m shaking,” only Page Six said then. “I’m in cloud nine. I didn’t stop staring [my engagement ring]. I wake up in the middle of the night and think, “Was that a dream?”
Unfortunately, the couple survived the pandemic and canceled their engagement a year later.
“This pandemic has left its mark on so many aspects of life – it’s such a difficult time for everyone,” explained Martin, who met Brooks on the dating app. “Erik is the most wonderful person, but since he lives in Boston with his children and I live in New York, distance has become too difficult for us to maintain a relationship that is important to us.
“He’s an amazing man and I wish him all the best.”
But life found a way to reunite the couple, and Martin and Brooks re-engaged on Harbor Island in the Bahamas in November 2021. She revealed that she had called Brooks, 56, after 18 months of separation.
“When I called Erik on that random Thursday a few months ago, he was shocked to hear from me,” he recalls. “He took some time to process that first conversation, and then we started learning about ourselves again. We wanted to make sure it would be different this time. Better.”
Martin added that he loves the way Brooks loves her, but also “how I feel when I’m with him.”
