FOX News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich is officially off the market after a surprise proposal in a sea of lavender.
The 36-year-old journalist said “yes” to Pennsylvania Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, 51, during a sunrise moment in France.
The couple had traveled to Valensole, a hilltop town in Provence, known for its picturesque lavender fields.
Fitzpatrick popped the question on June 29, planning the romantic gesture around Heinrich’s long-held dream to visit the region.
In a previous Boston Globe interview, Heinrich had said she wanted to visit the French Riviera “to eat the baguettes, see the lavender fields, drink the wine and eat the butter.”
The congressman apparently took notes, and turned that dream into a birthday gift, telling her: “I’m going to take you this summer to the South of France.”
Though their vacation was threatened by a potential last-minute call back to Washington for the signing of The One Big Beautiful Bill.
When Heinrich suggested postponing, Fitzpatrick insisted they continue with the trip, Heinrich told People in an interview.
“All the time I’ve known this man, he has never been desperate to see a field of flowers at dawn,” Heinrich joked.
The couple drove to Valensole to see the fields before sunrise.
Fitzpatrick abruptly pulled over and told her, “Alright, this field looks good. Why don’t you walk out into that field and I’ll take some pictures of you.”
As Heinrich walked among the flowers, a hidden photographer emerged, and a drone flew to capture the moment.
Fitzpatrick then got down on one knee and proposed to Heinrich.
The ring features a brilliant-cut round diamond solitaire on a six-prong platinum setting with a yellow gold band.
“He didn’t ask for any help from me or anyone I know,” Heinrich said.
“So I was really surprised he got it spot-on.”
