Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt can’t help but make some news with their relationship.
Ever since reports surfaced in 2020 that the duo were dating, both Hannity and Earhardt have tried their best to keep their romance out of the spotlight.
Along the way, the pair have been able to grow their long-distance relationship as Earhardt resides in New York and Hannity lives in Florida.
While celebrating Christmas 2024, Hannity — who shares Patrick and Merri with ex-wife Jill Rhodes — proposed to Earhardt, who has a daughter, Hayden, with ex-husband Will Proctor.
The newly engaged couple revealed to Fox News that they “still get along well” with their ex-spouses and “everyone is supportive of each other.”
