Al Roker's Daughter, Leila, Shares Pics of Her New Pear-Shaped Diamond Ring

Leila Roker, the daughter of The Today Show's affable weatherman Al Roker, is sporting a pear-shaped diamond engagement ring after accepting a romantic marriage proposal from boyfriend Sylvain Gricourt in Venice last Friday.

On Sunday, the 26-year-old freelance journalist and content creator turned to Instagram to announce the big news.

Roker shared a carousel of photos from the momentous event along with a heartfelt caption that read, “8 years ago, I moved to Paris, 7 years ago I met my person and best friend, and 2 days ago, that person took me on the most amazing surprise trip to Venice to ask me to spend the rest of our lives together.”

On his own Instagram page, Gricourt, 33, posted a similar grouping of pics captured in and around Venice's Hotel Danieli, a venue famous for its history, culture and opulent accommodations.

The SEO content manager wrote, "Just two days ago I put a ring on her finger, and that's the best thing I did in the last 33 years."

And then, in French, he added, "@leilaroker qu’est-ce que tu dis de passer les 33 prochaines ensemble, et toutes celles d’après?" which means in English, "What do you say we spend the next 33 together, and all the ones after that?"

In one of the shared photos, Gricourt can be seen on bended knee as he presents to Roker a ring box containing a sizable pear-shaped diamond mounted with a sleek three-prong setting on a simple gold band.

NBC's Al Roker and his wife, ABC journalist Deborah Roberts, couldn't have been more excited about their daughter's announcement.

Roker wrote, "Well, it is now official. @gricourt.thegreat has proposed to my little girl, @leilaroker in the romantic city of Venice. We could not be happier, and look forward to planning for these two wonderful young folks coming together."

"We could not be happier and more joyful!!!!," added Roberts. "Welcome to the family Sylvain! Now let’s plan a wedding!"

Where will the wedding take place? We're guessing that the top three choices may be Paris (The City of Love, where the couple resides), New York (The Big Apple, where Leila's parents work) or Venice (the romantic Floating City, where Leila and Sylvain officially declared their love for each other).
