(CNN) - The White House's so-called "money-hunk" is engaged.
Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag is set to marry ABC News correspondent Bianna Golodryga, Golodryga announced on ABC's Good Morning America Tuesday.
The couple first met at the White House Correspondents Dinner last May, and the man who White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel once said "made nerdy sexy" soon won Golodryga's heart.
"[He's] tall, dark and he could say Golodryga and spell it after our first date. That is a winner in my book," she said.
The 31-year-old Golodryga, has worked for ABC since 2007 and mainly reports on business issues. Orszag, 41, is the former director of the Congressional Budget Office and a former veteran of the Clinton administration.

Be thankful that he did not get engaged to someone from the extreme media at Fox. That would have as bad as is must be for James Carville.
I think the Washington Blade already reported this news.
Who cares?
It means nothing to me and nothing to the rest of the populace.
White House and Media in bed together... literally
Does this explain ABC's overly kind treatment of this failed administration or is it just the continuing liberal bias of ABC and the state run media in general?
Hunk? Youre kidding.... Right...... Being Sarcastic.......Right.... Oh I get it now!
He does look kind of 'nerdy' but cute. I think they make the best husbands. My nephew is a nerd; a violinist; in the gifted program; very, very intelligent and he has PLENTY of girls going after him.... I truly believe NERDY is SEXY!!
Good Luck with the wedding and I am sure you will have many great years together!!
CNN, the place to go for all the hard hitting news!
Oops must be in the Society Pages Ticker.
NOT a hunk
Really...This is the best news you can come up with? Oh how the mighty have fallen.
Why is this news?
Ewwww! That is not a hunk!
Hmmm, no conflict of interest there....now if she worked for NBC.....
More like "Funky hunk"
Isn't everybody in the white house engaged with someone in the media?
This is a HUNK? May God forbid the writer from judging a beauty contest. Did Perez Hilton co-write this article?
hunk? someone is blind
What make this news ?
This is news worthy? Get real!
Wow! Such worldly and essential news. I wonder what will be next critical "breaking news" headline from the White House?
Who cares??!!!!
We knew the media was already married to obama and his cloney's. This is just the formality part.
No wonder we can't get fair and balanced coverage from ABC (or CNN).
What, exactly, is a "former veteran"?
He's a hunk???? Come on!
The media loves their democrats....
What?! If he's a hunk, then I'm a supermodel!
HUNK? Who in the world determined that nerd a HUNK? This has to be a joke.......
A new low in ticker irrelevance.
If she hyphenates her last name or that of their kids.. it's going to one awesome spelling bee for all the customer service people
Congrats to the couple!
That's good news for a change.....I wish them all the best in the coming years, he is a good caught girl, and so are you Bianna.
Make us proud in the USA, Let's show a good example of a union of married couple, Like the example that we see in the first (family).
May God Bless you, and please follow your heart.
Presd. Obama and company
Your kidding right? White House Hunk! This guy is a tool from revenge of the nerds...
CNN...some news please?
What's this? A member of the mainstream media is now LITERALLY in bed with a member of a liberal, Democratic administration, not just FIGURATIVELY? Gee, who's surprised by that?
Who cares? This has nothing to do with politics. True journalism has morphed into controversy-mongering padded with non-stories to sell add space. No wonder our empire is declining and our citizens are becoming more misinformed by the day. Thanks, global capitalism. We hear and obey. Have a nice day!
Shouldn't this have been reported in People magazine?
Really? Do people think this guy is a hunk? Yuck!!
Congratulations to both and all the best for 2010.
you call this news?
i demand an article on nancy pelosi and an article on sarah palin.
This is news? Please....
So why is this a story? All of us already know that the main stream media is married to the White House.
If this guy is the white House "hunk" I'd hate to get a look at the rest of the guys in the WH...
Talk of cozy relationships between press and government. Actually, this is a serious problem.
She only loves him for his hairpiece.
maybe his wife to be can make something happen
Yes – here is objectivity at its best. Suppose there will come a time when journalists actually do something again?
Though Golodryga could bring herself to desribe Orszag as "tall" and "dark", even she couldn't bring herself to say handsome.
Dear CNN,
Remember when you guys used to cover the news? Why not just set your cameras up in the Capitol and just do a 24-hour Hills-like reality drama?
Well, there is always BBC America.
Sincerely,
JMP
WH hunk engaged? Where is the picture of the hunk? Please don't tell me it is this guy.
Oh dear–not my idea of hunky. Wonky, maybe.
When liberals marry. File under "who cares".
Ugh– could this be the correct photo for Orszag? guess "beauty" is in the eye of the beholder.
WH hunk? Are you serious? This guy is so NOT a hunk, wow who came up with this junk? LOL
Hunk? I don't think so.
In the words of Tony Montana in 'Scarface' – "In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women." Have you seen pictures of this one? She's a hottie, so it had to be the money and the power, not the looks lol.
This is not news ...
If this guy is what the folks in the White House and the press corp consider a "hunk".....folks, you all need to get out more often!!
I am glad for them but this proves once again how far CNN has slipped in not presenting the news that needs to be presented
Is this the best you can come up with to make people forget how bad this administration is?
Hunkness is in the eye of the beholder. Be glad for them instead of skewering him for his nerdiness. Deciding whether someone is a hunk or not is completely subjective. Everyone has his/her own criteria.
What difference does this make? We all are forced to SERVE the SAME Masters Unless we figure out how to Utilize our Gifts, Transform, Actualize, and think for ourselves To Escape Spiritually! Next Step: Educate Others! Peace
Hunk!!!! What the hell has this country come to? 43 had Turd Blossom and now this creepy looking guy as a hunk?
This is NEWS??
I find this man the complete opposite of hunk. Hardly a hunk would have been a more fitting title for this worthless news piece
Boy, am I glad you told me about this. I would not want to feel uninformed about what is going on.
Congratuations! May they have a long and happy life together!
Office of Management and Budget Director to marry ABC News correspondent. Yeah, that belongs here on the PoliticalTicker, it's politics!
CNN – You're losing it! This is not news!! Why can't I find articles about the unjust wars? Or about what is happening with our health care? Did America come out of the recession and I missed that news as well? Has the Obama administration taken care of all the unemployed? How safe are we as far as travel now?
So many more importat news for a "News Only" company. Leave the "hunks" stuff to People magazine and tell us what really matters in this country.
Who really cares about who is marring whom? now on to polical news pls cnn
Good luck you two, just remember to never go to bed mad at each other or leave each other with anger in the air. you never know what may happen after you walk out the door.
This is not a news worthy event.
With all that is going on, I can't believe CNN would waste its time with such an article.
This is nothing but tabloid jornalism.
Surely you can do better.
I wish them many years of happiness in their union.
Right wing nuts are sooooo funny. Blame everything on the "libral media" and forget the fact you are LOOSERS and no one can make you look good.
Oh, for goodness sakes, lighten up people. Why must there be constant doom and gloom, fear and scare? If you want to crawl in a hole and be afraid do so but leave the rest of us out of it. Perhaps some of you people should escape to an island and have a pity party with your closest Republicans in Congress who seem to be afraid of moving forward as well.
YAWWWNNN!!!! how uterly boring. Never heard of EITHER ONE OF THEM!
Is this one of the "Secret Czars"?
When your country's in a mess
And you can't get paid
Who you gonna call?
Wake up folks! The true hulks are not in Hollywood or professional sports. When everything is on the line it is usually the nerd that rises to the occation. I'm glad we got them back in the White House.
Congratulations Peter and Bianna. We love you!
"Hunk?"...Hunk of what?
Dude's not hot I wanna know who dubbed him the 'money hunk' ie. was it the female media or some coworker or himself? Bianna Golodryga needs her pic in this story. 5/1 odds she's hottter than this dude. All female business broadcast correspondents are nowadays.
This is news?
It may not be news..but it's sweet....Congratulations!
He looks like a cross between one of the geeks in Head of the Class and Louis Skolnick, character on Revenge of the Nerds.
I wish them both the best of luck.
WHO CARES!!! CNN you really undercut your own credibility by reporting this kind of stuff.
If you really wanna be respected for actual journalism this is not the way to do it.
So am I reading CNN, TMZ or the Enquirer?
Orszag is a highly intelligent man and so is she. So stop being jealous and achieve the same for yourself, that's all that matters.
Yeah, this guy is definitely not bringing sexy back to politics. Someone at the White House has a sense of humor that nobody knew about.
Hunk of what?
Actually, the girl is hot so this guy must be doing something right.
My god! did you see the hunk of diamond he gave her. she was on GMa this morning when she wavied her hand it looked like a liz taylor rock and a camera flash.
public service pays very very well.
CNN-–have you looked at your ratings recently????
And, you still can't figure out why.
Money Hunk? This guy is a pathetic-looking geek! How befitting that a Democrat is officially engaged to be married legally to an ABC reporter! The mainstream media has been living in sin and shacking up with most liberal Democrats for years.
Maybe their getting married for the Tax Breaks or Cadillac Healthcare Insurance that Bureaucrats give themselves!
Good for her/them, wish them all the happiness.
List this in the category of "WHO CARES!?!?!?!"
Please, please tell me who cares????? CNN, you sure are slipping! I've been on vacation well over a week and, some things just don't change!
Man have they lowered the standards of what is considered a hunk.
Extreme media? You mean the people who tell the truth and wouldn't touch a dumb non story like this. This is something the NEA would teach a course about. Stupid democrats and liberally biased press and dumber liberal followers of Obama.
Good for him! Nice to hear something happy once in a while, instead of pirates, terrorists and joblessness all the time.
This is the WH version of HUNK? I actually paged down, thinking there was another photo of the "hunk" somewhere on the page. Plus, why is this news?? Especially "political" news? Lets see.... the next thing that is going to be considered "political news" is when one of the Obama girls "comes of age".... Puhleeze, is this the best or most newsworthy thing this administration has to offer??? A laughable attempt of a JFK Jr/wanna-be (who WAS a hunk), and something that should be on a society or entertainment page.....
This just makes this admin looks like more of a joke every move they make.... But it WAS good for a laugh, I can give them that!
I like CNN's website better then Fox's, but it is stuff like this that is the reason I watch Fox News. A White House staffer engaged to an ABC News correspondent.....literaly the White House in bed with a news corporation. What a shock!!!!
You guys mock CNN for putting this stuff out there, but take a look at any given point on the front page at what the highest buzzed articles are. We had a guy try to blow up a plane in US Airspace and more people are interested in Charlie Sheen's 911 call. This happens every day...take a look each day. It's disgusting, but this is what the American public want. CNN is just catering to the demands of their audience.
Shouldn't this be in the gossip column rather than the political column? Let's stay on target.
Why Is everybody down on Peter I think he is definitely a hottie! Sheesh you don't have to be Brad Pitt to be hot or have a body like The "Roc" or something to be called hot, why can't a very intelligent man be hot believe it or not intelligence makes a man hot to me, not to mention he is good looking so i find him extremely hot with those 2 combinations!!!
Yikes! He's scary and ugly! Now, CNN could you please focus on the newsworthy items instead of horror characters?
this is new. this guy decides your 401k and income taxes. so i think this guys geting married is news.
Give me a break.....news? -questionable.....worthwhile news? -probably not.....a hunk? -this must be a joke
He's a "hunk"? Maybe to a Democrat.
Cheers to the happy couple.
Rather than this Non Story, CNN journalist should spend time vetting the real stories. For example, why wouldn't they acknowledge that bit took this administration 8 months to put forward a TSA Director to be nominated rather than focus on Senator Demint's objection to the nomination for a valid concern?
As news followers, we need to demand and expect more from these INDEPENDENT news sources.
Get a grip people. They're announcing happy news. If you've read it right, he's a money hunk. Congratulations to both of you and may you have many years of happiness.
Be glad she wasn't a party crasher like the other people.
CNN, you have become tabloid!
This has to be some kind of New Year joke CNN. "HUNK" I don't think so. hahaha
Who cares? Just for the record too, I think he's "Thug Ugly".
slow news day cnn?
Look at this man's picture. He is clearly not a hunk.
Dear CNN webmaster:
You posted this in the wrong place. It obviously belongs in the entertainment section.
THIS IS NOT POLITICAL NEWS!!!!!
I wish them the best and hope the two will have a great life together
There's hope for us nerds yet! GO PETER!!
Come on CNN a little article for Iran citiznes would be nice....so we can at least voice our support and respond to the thoughtless theatre comment....
for heaven's sake, this is absolutely not newsworthy and there is no sliver of hunkness on that guy! omg, what our world has come to?!
God bless the Orzags'.
nobody can tell me any different, its all about money ! divorced in 2 years... i bet he has a few million in the bank..... that's why we created money so average looking guys can buy good looking women.
It's news in the sense that the revolving door between the Administration and the major media outlets has turned into a bridal suite. Honest to god, how can we expect fair, objective reporting when they're all married to one another? This is like the Washington Post's infamous secret "salons" between liberal reporters and Administration officials, but with a speed dating component built in.
wow,he is a hunk a hunk of dodo.
Sorry, you are all so sallow, critical, and cruel. There is more to a person and life than superficiality of looks. Why not just stop showing your ugly side and say something that makes a person feel better about themselves-or is that too much to ask?
Orszag a hunk? C'mon CNN. I know you're hopelessly infatuated with your Democrats (being that you're in their hip pocket and everything), but, really, this is over the top even for you.
What a Dork........
So this administration really is in bed with the media.
