Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt have announced their engagement, marking a significant milestone for the two prominent Fox News hosts who’ve been together for some time. The couple shared the joyful news just after Christmas, illuminating their personal lives with fans of the network.
Hannity, 62, and Earhardt, 48, revealed their engagement during the festive season, stating they are “overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.” The proposal took place at their church in Florida, which the couple described as the "perfect place" for such an important moment due to their shared faith. Upon their engagement, they celebrated with their minister, solidifying the religious significance of the day.
The relationship between the two has blossomed over time, with both hosts recognizing their faith as the cornerstone of their bond. Following news of their engagement, they expressed their happiness not just for themselves, but also for their children, who “couldn’t be happier” about this new chapter of their parents' lives.
Both Hannity and Earhardt come from previous marriages and have children from those relationships. Hannity has two children, Patrick and Merri, with ex-wife Jill Rhodes. The couple was married for 26 years before their divorce in 2019. Earhardt shares custody of her daughter, Hayden, with her ex-husband Will Proctor, with whom she split after marrying in 2012. The couple has stated they still maintain amicable relationships with their former spouses, and they communicated their engagement news to them beforehand. This degree of openness and mutual respect highlights their commitment not only to each other but also to their families.
Public figures reacted enthusiastically to the announcement. Former President Donald Trump congratulated the couple on his Truth Social platform, declaring, "Great news about Sean and Ainsley. They are officially engaged to be married! There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple. Congratulations to both - A deal made in HEAVEN!!! DJT." This statement juxtaposes Trump’s mixed past with Fox News, where he has at times expressed frustration with the network.
Broadcaster Piers Morgan also shared his good wishes for Hannity and Earhardt, calling them “two of the most generous-spirited people I’ve met in the media. Wishing you every happiness together.” Such sentiments reflect the widespread happiness around the couple’s engagement and the support they have from friends and colleagues.
Despite the age difference and public interest, both Hannity and Earhardt remain focused on their professional engagements on Fox News. Their distinct roles within the network—Hannity anchoring his show since 2009 and Earhardt as co-host of “Fox & Friends”—will continue as they plan their future together. While no wedding date has been announced yet, fans are eager for updates.
The public spotlight is nothing new for either of these media figures, who have built their careers on the principles of connection and communication. Engaged and energized, Hannity and Earhardt are poised to navigate not only the world of television news but also the exciting new chapter of their lives together. Expect more details about their engagement and plans to surface soon as they continue their roles as prominent figures on Fox News.
