Ainsley Earhardt is officially off the market and it\u2019s been a long, emotional journey to get here.<\/p>\n
The Fox & Friends co-host said \u201cyes\u201d to fellow Fox News star Sean Hannity over Christmas, confirming their engagement in a joint statement that quickly lit up headlines. The pair, long rumored to be dating, are now being called \u201cthe First Couple of Fox.\u201d And while their fans are celebrating, Earhardt\u2019s road to love hasn\u2019t been without heartbreak.<\/p>\n
A Lavish Wedding \u2014 and a Quiet Divorce
\nShe\u2019s been married twice before \u2014 both times ending in high-profile splits. Her first husband was Kevin McKinney, her college sweetheart from the University of South Carolina. They tied the knot in 2005 in a lavish wedding with 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen at the governor\u2019s mansion. The couple moved to San Antonio for Earhardt\u2019s news career before relocating to New York City in 2007, when she joined Fox News.<\/p>\n
At the time, Earhardt was focused on her professional ambitions. In an old interview, she confessed that she originally wanted to become an orthodontist, but her dreams shifted toward broadcasting and big-city life.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember asking God, \u2018Why was I born into this family in South Carolina?\u2019\u201d she told Elle. \u201cI love my family. But the way I grew up, you go to New York to visit maybe once in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n
That dream eventually came true \u2014 but the marriage didn\u2019t last. Earhardt and McKinney quietly divorced in 2009. Neither has spoken publicly about the split, though Earhardt later admitted that she wasn\u2019t ready to settle down or start a family back then.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the time, my focus was still on my career,\u201d she said in a 2017 Women\u2019s Health interview. \u201cI wanted to have a bigger role at work and get established before even considering a family.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Second Chance \u2014 and Another Heartbreak
\nIn 2012, she married again. This time to former Clemson quarterback Will Proctor, eight years her junior. The couple welcomed a daughter, Hayden, in 2015 after suffering a miscarriage. But by 2018, they had split amid rumors that Proctor had cheated with one of Ainsley\u2019s close friends.<\/p>\n
Sources at the time told DailyMail.com that Ainsley had \u201cevidence\u201d of the alleged affair and was deeply hurt by the betrayal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was all the more devastating for Ainsley that he cheated with someone who she considered one of her closest friends,\u201d one insider claimed. \u201cShe has evidence that proves the affair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Proctor denied the rumors, saying,<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is not one ounce of truth to the allegation that I had an affair.\u201d
\nHe added that he was \u201cdevastated\u201d and committed to being a good father, even if the marriage was ending.<\/p>\n
Romance Confirmed
\nBy 2020, the whispers about Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt began to get louder. Vanity Fair reported that the two had been dating \u201cfor quite some time.\u201d Then, in April 2023, DailyMail.com published the first photos of them together, finally confirming what fans had long suspected.<\/p>\n
Now, over the 2024 holiday season, the couple announced their engagement. Hannity reportedly proposed in their \u201chome church,\u201d a setting they described as \u201cperfect\u201d given their shared Christian faith.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,\u201d the couple said in a statement.
\n\u201cWe actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time,\u201d they added, referring to their ex-spouses. \u201cEveryone is supportive of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still Anchored in Their Careers
\nThough they live in different states, Hannity in Florida and Earhardt in New York, the couple has made their long-distance love work with regular weekend visits. According to Fox News, both have long-term contracts and will continue their careers on the network, with Earhardt co-hosting Fox & Friends and Hannity anchoring his primetime show.<\/p>\n
A Long Road to a Happy Ending
\nThrough public breakups, professional triumphs, and tabloid rumors, Ainsley Earhardt has emerged with a renewed sense of faith and a fianc\u00e9 who shares her values. It may not have been a straight path, but it\u2019s finally led to her happy ending \u2014 and she\u2019s sharing it with the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
