Brian Fitzpatrick will marry Jacqui Heinrich this weekend, bringing together a five-term member of Congress and a correspondent in a ceremony he said he is keeping private. Fitzpatrick, 52, said the details are private “for obvious reasons.”
Fitzpatrick and Heinrich
Heinrich, 37, is a senior White House correspondent for and also anchors The Sunday Briefing. The couple met at work-related events in Washington D.C., and their first date was to the Kennedy Center Honors in 2021.
Fitzpatrick represents all of Bucks County in PA's First Congressional District. He told a reporter that he wished they were living in Snowball, referring to the Snowball Gate neighborhood where he grew up, but said the couple will live in Middletown.
Valensole proposal
The proposal came on June 29, 2025, at sunrise in a lavender field in Valensole, France. Fitzpatrick booked the trip as a birthday present, and Heinrich said she knew he was planning something bigger even though the proposal still came as a surprise.
Heinrich said Fitzpatrick visited her father in New Hampshire before the proposal to ask for his blessing. She said, “My dad teared up.”
Weekend wedding plans
The couple’s public timeline now runs from a 2021 first date to a June 2025 proposal and this weekend’s wedding. Fitzpatrick has given one firm detail — that the marriage is coming now — while leaving the date and ceremony location out of public view.
For readers following the political and media side of the story, the practical point is simple: the marriage is set for this weekend, and the rest of the ceremony remains private.
