Sean Hannity, a Fox News commentator raised in Long Island, and his longtime girlfriend, Ainsley Earhardt, cohost of the morning show “Fox & Friends,” have recently announced their engagement. The couple expressed their joy in a joint statement to Fox News, sharing that the momentous occasion took place around Christmas at their church in Florida.
They conveyed their deep gratitude to their families for their unwavering support during this exciting time. The couple also expressed that their children from previous marriages—Patrick Hannity, 26, and Merri Hannity, 23, from Hannity’s marriage to Jill Rhodes, along with Hayden DuBose Proctor, 9, from Earhardt’s marriage to Will Proctor—are “thrilled” about the engagement.
Despite the happy news, neither Hannity nor Earhardt has made a comment on social media regarding their engagement. This upcoming marriage will mark Hannity’s second, while it will be Earhardt’s third. Hannity and Rhodes revealed their separation in June 2020, having been apart for over four years prior to their divorce. Earhardt has also been married twice before: first to Kevin McKinney and then to Proctor.
The couple assured Fox News that they maintain friendly relationships with their ex-spouses, stating, “Everyone is supportive of each other.” They revealed they had discussed their engagement with their families in advance.
Hannity, about to turn 63, hosts his opinion show “Hannity” from Florida, while 48-year-old Earhardt continues her role on “Fox & Friends” in Manhattan.
