Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity, popular hosts on FOX News, delighted their viewers with news of their engagement towards the end of last year. Fans have been following the duo on their screens for quite some time.
Although the superstar hosts have kept their years-long relationship private, they shared the heartwarming update just after Christmas 2024.
Hannity, 63, popped the question last Christmas at their home church in Florida.
Hannity announced his move to the Sunshine State last year, saying his hit show would be filmed in West Palm Beach.
Earhardt, 48, has remained close to the New York City studio where she films Fox & Friends.
She predominately lives in a Manhattan condo, but visits Hannity on Florida on the weekends and the couple still sees each other all the time.
MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR HOMES
Documents seen by The U.S. Sun has revealed that Earhardt lives in an exclusive full-service condominium which only has eight residences.
These units cost upward of $10 million and come with a 24-hour doorman.
One of Hannity’s notable possessions is a lavish $23.5 million waterfront megamansion located just 30 minutes away from Palm Beach in Florida. This stunning property was acquired by Hannity around Thanksgiving last year.
The massive mansion boasts eight bedrooms and ten-and-a-half bathrooms, representing a significant upgrade from Hannity’s $5.3 million Palm Beach residence, which he had bought in 2021 for use as a vacation home.
In June 2020, Vanity Fair reported, citing current and former Fox News staffers, that Earhardt and Hannity were an item.
While the pair didn’t tell their colleagues that they were in a relationship, two of Hannity’s friends said that they acted like a couple, it reported.
One former Fox executive recalled when Earhardt and Hannity allegedly arrived to the wedding of then-Fox & Friends weekend host Pete Hegseth and producer Jennifer Rauchet in a helicopter.
“Hannity emerged from the chopper with Ainsley Earhardt, and they made this grand entrance together,” the former exec said.
“People were like, Wow, okay,” they added.
But Hannity refused to comment on the dating rumors, saying through a Fox News spokesperson, “I do not discuss my personal life in public.”
And Earhardt denied that she was dating anyone, but paid Hannity a compliment.
“Right now I am focused on raising my daughter,” she said through a Fox News spokesperson.
“As anyone at Fox News will tell you, Sean is a wonderful person and whomever he chooses to date will be extremely fortunate,” Earhardt added.
