New York, NY – Fox News anchors Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt have officially confirmed their engagement, putting an end to years of speculation about their relationship status. The couple, who have been co-workers at the conservative news network, shared their joyous news with fans and colleagues on Christmas Day.
Hannity, 62, and Earhardt, 49, announced that they are “overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.” This confirmation came after Hannity proposed to Earhardt on Christmas Day at their home church, as reported by The Sun.
The engagement news follows a long period of rumors regarding their relationship. The couple, both high-profile figures in the media, had managed to keep their romance somewhat under wraps, despite numerous public appearances together and shared family moments, especially involving Earhardt’s daughter, Hayden.
Their relationship first became a topic of public interest in 2020 when they were seen together in public settings. Over the years, they’ve been spotted sharing intimate moments, like family vacations and Hannity acting in a fatherly role to Hayden. Despite these signs, neither Hannity nor Earhardt had officially acknowledged their relationship until now.
Both have had previous marriages; Hannity was married to Jill Rhodes for more than two decades before their divorce in 2019, and Earhardt has been married twice before, most recently to Will Proctor, with whom she shares her daughter. Their current engagement signifies a new chapter in their lives, blending their personal and professional worlds.
The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow Fox News employees. Colleagues like Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, co-hosts alongside Earhardt on “Fox & Friends,” expressed their happiness for the couple. The news has also sparked discussions among media watchers about how their relationship might be perceived within the Fox News environment and among their audience.
As for their future, while no wedding date has been set, the couple’s public engagement has already begun to shape their narrative from one of speculative whispers to a story of love and commitment. They have not yet revealed any details about wedding plans but have expressed excitement about their journey ahead as a couple.
The engagement of Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt not only marks a personal milestone but also highlights the intertwining of personal relationships with public life, especially within the realm of media where their work often delves into matters of public and political interest. As they move forward, the couple will likely continue to be a significant point of interest for those who follow their careers and personal lives.
