Fox News host Sean Hannity and fellow Fox host Ainsley Earhardt got engaged over the holidays, the couple said.
Sean Hannity proposed to Earhardt at their home church over the Christmas holiday, the couple revealed to their employer, Fox News, in an interview Thursday.
The newly engaged couple said they enjoy the blessing and support of their children, who “couldn't be happier” for them.
“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 said.
The couple told Fox that they originally bonded over their deep faith.
“The two have placed God first in their relationship, thus rendering the proposal at their home church as the ‘perfect place’ to pop the question,” Fox reported. They met with their minister after the engagement.
The couple are two long-time staples at Fox, hosting two of the network’s most popular shows.
“For the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values,” he said at the time. “So I’m feeling a lot better about it.”
Earhardt remained stationed in New York, but the couple has made their long-distance relationship work with weekend trips between New York and Florida, Fox said.
Hannity, who turns 64 on Dec. 30, has a son and a daughter from his previous marriage with Jill Rhodes, a political commentator, with whom he lived for almost 30 years.
The couple said they “still get along well” with their previous spouses. “Everyone is supportive of each other,” they told Fox.
“We actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time.”
A wedding date has yet to be announced.
