Conservative TV hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are advancing their relationship after dating for five years! Hannity proposed to the Fox & Friends co-host at their Florida home church, and the two became engaged on Christmas Day 2024.
Hannity and Earhardt both had previous marriages, and they told Fox News that “everyone is supportive of each other” and that they “still get along well” with their former spouses.
Having said that, let’s examine Sean Hannity and his prior marriage in more detail.
In 2019, Sean Hannity and his ex-wife went through a quiet divorce.
Sean Hannity met Jill Rhodes, a political columnist for The Huntsville Times at the time, in 1991 while he was employed at WVNN in Huntsville, Alabama. After getting married in 1993, the couple quickly began a family. In 1998, they welcomed a son, Patrick, and in 2001, a daughter, Merri.
Both kids received their diplomas from New York’s Cold Spring Harbor High School. Patrick continued his education by playing tennis at Wake Forest University. Merri is a current student at the University of Michigan, where she still plays tennis. In high school, she was ranked as the fourth best tennis player in New York State.
Following more than two decades of marriage, Sean and Jill announced their divorce in June 2020. They also disclosed that they had split up peacefully a number of years earlier.
According to USA Today, the couple at the time stated in a joint statement that “Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children.” “Sean and Jill made amicable agreements more than four years ago. As parents, they continue to have a close bond with their kids.
Ainsley Earhardt has already been married twice.
Ainsley Earhardt married Kevin McKinney, her high school sweetheart, in San Antonio, Texas, in April 2005. But in 2009, just four years later, the couple got divorced.
Later, she married Will Proctor, a former quarterback for Clemson University, in October 2012. Hayden is their daughter together.
However, Will filed for divorce in New York in 2019 after it was alleged that he had cheated on Ainsley with one of her best friends years earlier. People claimed that there was convincing evidence to back up these claims.
“There is not one ounce of truth to the allegations that I had an affair,” Will told Page Six in response to the accusations. “I am disappointed that this private matter has come to light,” he continued. I am heartbroken by this circumstance and did not foresee this for our family’s future.
Both Hannity and Earhardt have maintained positive relationships with their former spouses in spite of their previous divorces. For the benefit of their daughter, Ainsley and Will actually continue to have a cordial co-parenting relationship that “works seamlessly.”
The recently engaged couple also told Fox News that they are still friendly with their ex-partners and that everyone is supporting one another.
The TV personalities told the outlet, “We actually informed them that this was happening beforehand.”
