Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are happily engaged, marking a new chapter in their romantic story. The couple shared the joyful news on Thursday, December 26, after Hannity proposed during the Christmas holiday at their home church, which they regarded as the "perfect place" for such a significant moment.
"We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives," the couple declared to Fox News, encapsulating the sentiment shared by both families who have come together during this heartfelt occasion. Interestingly, both Hannity, who is 62, and Earhardt, who is 48, have proven adept at managing their long-distance relationship, with Hannity residing in Florida and Earhardt based in New York.
While the exact timeline of their relationship has been somewhat vague, it is known they began dating around 2020. Their first public appearances together were seen as they navigated their professional lives at Fox News. This timing coincides with when Earhardt hosted her segment from Hannity’s home during the pandemic.
The duo has been quite private about their relationship, often choosing to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight. A key part of their bond is their shared faith, which also played a pivotal role during the proposal. They met with their minister post-engagement, reinforcing their commitment to one another.
What adds to the depth of their engagement is the support from their children. Hannity and Earhardt confirmed their kids "couldn't be happier" about the engagement news. Hannity has two children named Patrick and Merri from his 26-year marriage to ex-wife Jill Rhodes, which ended in 2020. Earhardt shares her 9-year-old daughter Hayden with ex-husband Will Proctor, whom she divorced after almost seven years of marriage.
Both hosts have emphasized their amicable relationships with their former partners. "We actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time and everyone is supportive of each other," they shared. Such harmony seems increasingly rare to find among modern blended families, making their situation particularly noteworthy.
Professionally, both Hannity and Earhardt are powerhouses at Fox News. Hannity has been with the network since its inception, hosting his evening talk show since 2009 and earning the status of the longest-running news host on cable television. Earhardt has been with Fox News since 2007, co-hosting the popular morning show Fox & Friends since 2016. The show has long held the title as the highest-rated morning program, consistently attracting millions of viewers.
Despite their demanding careers, the newly engaged couple has maintained their impressive professional outlooks. They both confirmed they intend to continue their work at Fox News, which has, after all, been integral to their personal and professional intersection.
Interestingly, there has been speculation about where they might tie the knot, considering Hannity's close ties to Mar-a-Lago. Both hosts have backed former President Donald Trump on air numerous times, and the luxurious Florida venue has hosted countless high-profile events, including Trump’s wedding reception. Given their shared beliefs and connections to the former president, could their wedding find its way to Trump's estate? Only time will tell.
For now, the engagement has sent waves of joy through their families and fans alike. Their loving partnership encapsulates how two influential figures can blend their personal and professional lives, supported by their faith and families.
Hannity and Earhardt’s joy serves as a reminder of love finding its way amid the public eye and the shared faith and values they cherish. With both hosts firmly committed to their upcoming nuptials and the path it lays before them, audiences are undoubtedly eager to witness what the future holds for this beloved couple.
