A Calm in the Storm: Harris Faulkner & Tony Berlin’s 20-Year Marriage
In the fast‑paced world of national television, Harris Faulkner projects strength, clarity, and an unflappable presence. Yet, away from the cameras, her greatest source of calm has long been her husband, Tony Berlin, who has stood by her side for more than two decades.
From Rival Reporters to Lifelong Partners
Harris and Tony’s story began in Minneapolis, where she worked as an anchor for an ABC affiliate and he was an investigative reporter for CBS. At first, they were friendly rivals. They became friends after about six months. Then, over time, that friendship turned into something deeper.
After roughly a year of dating, Tony proposed on the shores of Lake Superior, and Harris said yes. They married on April 12, 2003, in Arizona.
A Professional Turn and a Shared Dream
Tony eventually left journalism. He took what he learned in TV news and launched Berlin Media Relations in 2011. His deep understanding of how newsrooms work gives him a unique edge in helping clients navigate media.
Harris, meanwhile, continued to flourish on‑air at Fox News, balancing her high-profile role with her personal life.
Building a Family Together
The couple has two daughters: Bella (born in 2006) and Danika (born in 2009). They live in New Jersey, just across the river from New York City.
Harris has described raising their children — biracial and multifaith — as a real blessing.
Faith, Roots, and Tradition
Their marriage is interfaith. Harris is Christian (Baptist), and Tony is Jewish. They combine their traditions at home: the family attends church, shares meals, and also observes Jewish customs like Passover, reading from the Haggadah.
According to Harris, they focus on shared values — gratitude, faith, service — rather than differences.
Quiet Support Through Big Moments
Tony has supported Harris through many of life’s major moments. For example, before Harris’s father passed in 2020, Tony recorded interviews with him. Those recordings later featured in her Fox Nation series, Footsteps of My Father.
A Steady, Real Love
Their relationship doesn’t rely on grand gestures — though Tony has surprised Harris with meaningful ones. On their 20th anniversary, he gave her a custom Kansas City Chiefs jersey with “20” on the back and her name, telling her, “You’re on my team.”
Harris has called him “an amazing guy” whom she truly could not do life without.
