FOX icon Sean Hannity and colleague Ainsley Earhardt are tying the knot after he popped the question over Christmas week.
They first connected due to their strong religious beliefs, as mentioned in a statement from Fox. Despite being in a long-distance relationship for the last year, their bond has only grown stronger.
Earhardt, 48, has been with the network since 2007, where she is a co-host on Fox & Friends.
Hannity is one of the original Fox News hosts to still be at the network, having joined at its launch in 1996.
They have made their relationship work despite Hannity relocating permanently to Palm Beach, Florida, while Earhardt has remained in New York.
Earhardt was previously married to former Clemson Tigers quarterback Will Proctor between 2012 and 2019.
Hannity, 62, and his ex-wife Jill Rhodes separated in 2020 after 27 years of marriage.
Earhard and Hannity have managed to maintain good relationships with their ex-partners. Reports suggest that there is mutual support and understanding among everyone involved.
Their children are also all supportive of the couple tying the knot.
Earhardt shared the first pictures of the couple since their engagement announcement on Friday.
Sharing the pictures with her almost 360,000 Instagram followers, Earhardt put a sweet caption under the post.
“Merry Christmas,” she wrote. “Happy birthday, Jesus. 2024 has been a very special year.”
The pair have made long-distance work, spending alternate weekends at each other’s homes.
Fox has said they will continue in their current roles at the network, with Hannity hosting his long-running eponymous show.
Earhardt, for her part, will remain on the iconic Fox & Friends couch between Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.
Their relationship has even received the presidential seal of approval.
There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple.

President-elect took to his Truth Social account on Friday morning to offer his blessings to the happy couple.
“Great news about Sean and Ainsley,” he wrote. “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.”
Hannity reportedly got down on one knee in his local church to propose.
The couple, who first bonded over their faith, thought the church the “perfect” spot to get engaged.
“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.”
