Engaged Fox News star Ainsley Earhardt shares sweet family update just months after Sean Hannity proposal
Fans spotted signs of their love before they made the exciting announcement
The show pitted him against liberal host Alan Holmes – and against Larry King, who held the same timeslot on CNN.
He would eventually overtake King in the ratings battle.
Hannity has been the solo host of his self-named show at 9pm since 2009.
In April 2023, the couple was spotted together at a Waffle House in South Carolina and a Long Island Oyster festival, further fueling speculation.
Months later, the pair got engaged, sharing their joy with Fox News.
“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,” they said.
They also revealed their children’s happiness, saying, “Our children couldn’t be happier.”
Hannity has two adult children, Patrick and Merri Kelly, from his previous marriage to Jill Rhodes.
Earhardt’s only child is Hayden, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Will Proctor.
As the couple moves forward with their engagement, fans are eagerly awaiting their next steps, including a possible wedding date.

In an Instagram post, Earhardt gave a rare look behind the scenes of her glamorous life in New York City with her daughter, Hayden.
She shared a series of pictures showing her and her daughter seemingly spending time with friends at a beauty salon.
The Fox News star also shared a video that captured her little girls’ bravery.
In the clip, Hayden sat motionless while getting her ears pierced, as doting Earhardt held her hand and said, “You got this.”
The sweet moment sparked a flood of comments from followers, with many praising her daughter’s courage.
One follower commented, “She looks just like you!”
While another said, “Another beautiful memory and Blessed moment.. GOD Bless you and your Family Ms Ainsley…”
While fans celebrated the moment, one commenter couldn’t help but ask, “I didn’t see Sean in the picture??”
Their engagement, revealed just after Christmas 2024, ended years of speculation about the couple’s private relationship.
Hannity, 63, proposed at their home church in Florida, marking a new chapter in their lives.

Hannity recently moved to Florida and his show is filmed in West Palm Beach.
Earhardt, meanwhile, continues to reside in Manhattan, where she films Fox & Friends, but often visits Hannity on weekends.
The couple has been living their busy lives between two coasts.
RELATIONSHIP TIMELINE
In June 2020, Vanity Fair reported that Earhardt and Hannity were dating, citing unnamed Fox News staffers who confirmed their romantic involvement.
Though the couple kept their relationship under wraps, there were public hints, like their arrival at a wedding in a helicopter.
An ex-Fox executive recalled their grand entrance at Pete Hegseth and Jennifer Rauchet’s wedding, saying, “”Hannity emerged from the chopper with Ainsley Earhardt, and they made this grand entrance together. People were like, ‘Wow, okay.’”
At the time, Hannity refused to comment on the rumors, with his spokesperson stating, “I do not discuss my personal life in public.”
Earhardt also denied the relationship, instead focusing on raising her daughter.
However, she did praise Hannity, calling him a “wonderful person.”
Record-breaker Sean Hannity
Sean Hannity is America’s longest-running host in cable news history.
He hit the landmark in April 2022 after racking up 25 years, six months, and 15 days (at the time) on the air.
He broke the record previously held by CNN’s Larry King.
“I am extremely grateful to Fox News Media and to our loyal, dedicated viewers whom I am proud to serve every night,” Hannity said in a statement.
The host first joined Fox’s primetime in 1996 as co-host of Hannity & Colmes.
