Days after his firing in April 2023, Don Lemon told Page Six of his intentions to spend his free time outdoors on the water, and he has done just that. Lemon has enjoyed hanging out with friends and vacationing in the wake of his CNN fallout. Towards the beginning of June 2023, he was spotted boating in the Hamptons. Ironically, Lemon posted pictures of himself kicking back on the water the same day that Chris Licht, his former employer who gave him his walking papers, was axed from the network.

As June 2023 came to a close, Lemon was once again spotted in the Hamptons, this time frolicking on the beach with his fiancé, Tim Malone, and two of their three fur babies. In addition to the sands, Lemon attended a screening of National Geographic's series, "A Small Light." While there were rumblings of the former anchor possibly suing CNN, he doesn't appear to be letting that interfere with his relaxation.
