Don Lemon's axing from CNN last week has caused 'arguments' between him and his fiancé Tim Malone - who warned his partner to tone down his behavior on-air before he was fired from the network after 17 years.
Lemon, 57, was sensationally sacked by CNN on Monday amid a furious controversy over his 'sexist' and 'misogynistic' behavior - and now, a source has laid bare the toll that his ousting has had on his relationship.
DailyMail.com spoke exclusively to a friend of Tim, 39, who said that the scandal has 'definitely been a bump in the road' for the couple - particularly as Lemon had been warned by his fiancé to 'cool down' his on-air rants.
'He told Don many times to just cool it down and go with the flow, but Don is not the type of person to listen,' the source revealed. 'He pushes the boundaries in every facet of his life and this show was no different.'
In February, Don pushed the boundaries too far when he said that Presidential candidate Nikki Haley was 'past her prime' at the age of 51, before claiming that 'a woman is considered to be in their prime in their 20s and 30s and maybe 40s' - telling his stunned female co-hosts to 'Google it'.
The sexist remark, which led to co-host Poppy Harlow, 41, storming off set, had Don taken off-air for three days and caused a tidal wave of backlash - especially from female staffers who demanded he be fired.
However, while Don's axing has caused friction between him and his partner, the insider adds that Tim is sticking by the former CNN anchor and 'knows that he is not misogynistic'.

I love how Don Lemon could tell Vivek Ramaswamy that he doesn't have the right skin color to talk about the experiences of black people, but Lemon is perfectly fine talking about the experiences of women like Nikki Haley.
