Nicolle Wallace and her husband of 14 years are getting a divorce, and she's reportedly dating one of her show's regular contributors.

The longtime host of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House" is dating New York Times writer Michael S. Schmidt, who appears on her show often. Page Six reports that the couple informed network execs about their romance, and they "were fine with it," especially following "Morning Joe" co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborbough's relationship going public.

The reveal comes after Wallace and husband Mark Wallace, who have been married since 2005, filed for divorce on March 18. Sources close to the couple say that they've been separated for "at least a year" and that their split is uncontested.

Page Six also reports that the couple was seen out and about at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, earlier this year.
