They’ve been together since high school – and she’s been by his side through it all!
While Brian Kilmeade fires up morning TV on Fox & Friends and commands the airwaves on Fox News Radio, his wife Dawn Kilmeade has been quietly thriving in her own right — and fans are finally catching a glimpse into her glamorous yet grounded world.
The famously private couple have kept a low profile despite Brian’s booming media career, but here’s what we’ve uncovered about the woman behind the Fox News host — from her boutique biz to their adorable family routines.
So, who is Brian Kilmeade’s wife?
Brian is married to Dawn Kilmeade (née DeGaetano), a stylish entrepreneur and boutique owner who grew up in New York. Born on April 17, 1964, Dawn was raised alongside her sister Denise Duso by their mom, Diane DeGaetano.
Despite being married to one of the most recognizable conservative voices in American media, Dawn has largely stayed out of the spotlight — until now.
From college friends to fashion partners
After attending Hofstra University, Dawn turned her passion for fashion into a full-time gig. She co-founded the Wild Willows Boutique in Massapequa, Long Island, alongside her college bestie Kathy Camada. The women’s clothing store has built a loyal local following — but don’t think it’s all glitz and glam.
“Balancing family and this business has been a struggle, especially around the holidays,” Dawn admitted in a 2023 interview with the Massapequa Post. “We had to figure out how to manage our own personal holiday with the store.” #Relatable.
High school sweethearts still going strong
Brian and Dawn’s love story started long before the Fox News fame. The two reportedly met back in high school and said “I do” on December 3, 1993 — and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
Together, they’ve raised three children: son Bryan (born 1997), and daughters Kaitlyn (born 2002) and Kristyn (born 2004). The family resides in Massapequa, Long Island, far from the Manhattan chaos but never short on energy.
In an interview with Fox News Insider, Dawn and the kids spilled the tea on life with Brian at home. “Brian never stops moving,” they joked. “There’s never any down time with him. When he’s not scoping the news or teaching us a lesson about history, he’s usually begging us to play a game of soccer in the backyard.”
From power mornings on Fox to cozy nights on Long Island, Brian and Dawn Kilmeade prove that media fame and family life can go hand-in-hand — especially with a little boutique flair and a whole lot of hustle.
Now that’s what we call a Fox News love story!
