In a heartwarming holiday announcement, Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt shared that they are officially engaged, marking a joyful milestone in their relationship. The couple, who has kept their romance largely out of the public eye, revealed the exciting news on Thursday, expressing their gratitude for the support of their families and the special meaning behind their engagement.

Hannity, 62, who has long been the face of the popular “Hannity” show, proposed to Earhardt, 48, at their church—the place they both consider “perfect” for such an important moment. Their bond, rooted in their shared faith, made the setting all the more significant.

“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,” Earhardt and Hannity told Fox News in a statement. The couple was also quick to note that their children, from previous marriages, were fully supportive of the engagement, giving their blessing ahead of the big moment. The couple expressed their happiness that their children “couldn’t be happier” for them.

As part of their post-engagement celebration, Hannity and Earhardt met with their minister, continuing to lean on their faith as they take this next step in their journey together. Their decision to share the news with their families before announcing it publicly is a reflection of the values they cherish—respect for loved ones and putting family first.

Hannity, who has been with Fox News since the network’s inception in 1996, is the longest-running news host in cable television history. His program, “Hannity,” has been the top-rated cable news show for over 15 years, and his syndicated radio show reaches millions of listeners across 750 stations nationwide.

Earhardt, a beloved co-host of “Fox & Friends,” has been with the network since 2007. As a key part of the longest-running and most-watched morning show on cable for over two decades, Earhardt has become a staple of morning news for millions of viewers. In addition to her broadcasting success, she is also a New York Times bestselling author, with multiple successful books to her name, including three children’s books that have resonated with parents across the country.

Though Hannity resides in Florida and Earhardt calls New York home, their long-distance relationship has not kept them apart. The couple has made their relationship work by taking frequent weekend trips to visit one another. Despite the challenges of living in separate states, they have proven that commitment and faith can triumph over distance.

In a testament to their cordial relationships with their ex-spouses, Hannity and Earhardt made sure to keep everyone informed about their engagement plans. The couple mentioned that their exes are supportive of their new chapter, reinforcing the family-first values that have shaped both their professional and personal lives.

As they begin this exciting new chapter, Hannity and Earhardt’s engagement is a reminder that even in the spotlight, the importance of faith, family, and mutual respect remains at the heart of what matters most. Fans are undoubtedly thrilled for the couple and look forward to what’s next for these two prominent figures in conservative media.
