Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are officially husband and wife after exchanging vows in Palm Beach, Florida, in a wedding that brought together family, close friends, Fox News colleagues and prominent figures from politics and entertainment.
The Fox News personalities married Saturday at the historic Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the same church where Hannity proposed to Earhardt over Christmas 2024.
The setting gave the ceremony added meaning, bringing the couple back to the place where their engagement began and where they ultimately chose to start their marriage.
Earhardt, 50, wore an Oscar de la Renta gown as she walked down the aisle surrounded by loved ones. Hannity, 64, and Earhardt were also joined by their children and relatives as they exchanged personal vows during a ceremony centered heavily on faith and family.
Faith played a central role in the ceremony
Earhardt and Hannity incorporated Bible readings into the wedding, including passages from Romans 12 and the Song of Solomon.
The selections reflected themes of devotion, honor and enduring love, values the couple has repeatedly connected to their relationship.
The ceremony was officiated by their ministers, and both Earhardt and Hannity used their vows to reflect on their relationship, their shared beliefs and the future they hope to build together.
For the newlyweds, returning to the same church where Hannity proposed made the ceremony especially personal.
In joint remarks following the wedding, the couple described the day as more meaningful than they had imagined.
“Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife,” they said.
They added that exchanging vows in their home church while surrounded by their children, relatives and closest friends made the occasion particularly special.
“Our faith has always been at the center of our relationship, and we truly believe God brought us together,” the couple said.
A private reception with a major guest list
Following the ceremony, guests gathered for a private reception at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach.
The exclusive venue hosted a celebration under the stars, bringing together people from different parts of Hannity and Earhardt’s lives.
Among the Fox News personalities attending were Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones, Brian Kilmeade, Laura Ingraham, Dana Perino, Bret Baier, Harris Faulkner, Emily Compagno, Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Kayleigh McEnany, Carley Shimkus, Trey Gowdy and Mark Levin.
Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and network president and executive editor Jay Wallace were also present.
The guest list extended well beyond the network.
Eric Trump and Lara Trump attended, as did newly named Fox News contributor Karoline Leavitt and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.
Other guests included Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey, Sen. Tim Scott and his wife Molly, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife, Ambassador Callista Gingrich.
Country singer Lee Greenwood, Steve Wynn, Julia Koch, Patrick Bet-David, Sage Steele, Jillian Michaels, Nancy Grace, Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox and Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik were also among those celebrating with the couple.
The reception reflected the couple’s long careers and wide circle of personal and professional relationships.
Wedding weekend began at Mar-a-Lago
The celebration had already begun the night before the ceremony.
On Friday, Earhardt and Hannity hosted a private pre-wedding gathering at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump joined family and friends at the event, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Trump did not attend Saturday’s wedding ceremony.
The weekend marked the culmination of an engagement that began in December 2024, when Hannity proposed at the couple’s church.
Earhardt later recalled that she had believed they were simply going to a meeting connected to a home renovation before Hannity surprised her by bringing her to the church and proposing at the altar.
From close friendship to marriage
Before their romance developed, Hannity and Earhardt were Fox News colleagues and close friends.
According to a network insider cited in the material provided, their friendship eventually developed into a relationship.
The couple largely kept the romance private at first, though their relationship became public after they were photographed together in 2023.
Hannity later proposed at the end of 2024, beginning an engagement that required the couple to continue balancing distance between Florida and New York.
Hannity had relocated to South Florida, while Earhardt remained based in New York. Friends said they made the arrangement work by traveling to see each other on weekends.
Earhardt has previously spoken warmly about Hannity’s role in her life and his relationship with her daughter, Hayden, 10, from a previous marriage.
Hannity has two adult children, Patrick, 27, and Merri, 25, from his marriage to Jill Rhodes.
When they announced their engagement, Hannity and Earhardt said their families were supportive of the relationship.
Their wedding brought those families together as the couple officially began their next chapter.
Earhardt and Hannity reflect on their future
Earhardt described the wedding weekend as a moment of overwhelming gratitude.
“My heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy,” she said in a statement released through Fox News.
“To celebrate this beautiful season of our lives surrounded by the people we love most is truly a dream come true.”
She also credited faith with bringing Hannity into her life.
“God has blessed us in more ways than we could ever imagine, and I am so thankful that He brought Sean and me together.”
Hannity shared a similar message, calling Earhardt an “incredible person” and emphasizing the importance of faith, family and friendship.
“Having so many people we love and care about together to celebrate this moment means the world to us,” he said.
After years as colleagues, a private romance, a church proposal and a long-distance engagement, Hannity and Earhardt have now returned to the place where their engagement began — this time as husband and wife.
