Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are hearing wedding bells in their future. The couple spent the holidays in Hannity’s home state of Florida, where they got engaged over Christmas.
“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,” Hannity and Earhardt told Fox News.
The couple bonded over their strong faith, so the church was the “perfect place” for Hannity to propose to Earhardt. Shortly after the engagement, they met with their minister.
Hannity and Earhardt have reportedly been seeing each other since 2020. At the time, a source told People that the couple had “been seeing each other very secretively for years,” even though the pair denied it. “It’s been an open secret that they have been seeing each other,” the source continued. “They’re together all the time, but in private … for years, not just months.”
They have both been married before but “still get along well” with their ex-partners: “We actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time.”
Hannity shares two children with ex-wife Jill Rhodes, whom he divorced in 2019. Earhardt shares a daughter with ex-husband Will Proctor, they officially divorced in 2019. She was also previously married to Kevin McKinney from 2005 to 2009.
“Everyone is supportive of each other,” the couple said. They also “couldn’t be happier” to have their children’s blessing.
The couple has made their relationship work despite long-distance challenges since Earhardt co-hosts Fox & Friends in New York while Hannity hosts his self-titled show from Florida.
Hannity started working at the network in 1996, when it was founded, while Earhardt joined in 2007.
