Fans spotted clues long before the big reveal… and now the Fox News stars are officially planning their future!
Fox News star Ainsley Earhardt, 48, just gave fans a rare peek into her personal life — and it comes only months after getting engaged to longtime colleague and cable news heavyweight Sean Hannity, 63.
In a heartwarming Instagram post, the Fox & Friends co-host shared a glimpse of life with her daughter, Hayden — and it’s pure family goals!
Glam Squad Day Out
The glamorous anchor posted a series of sweet snaps showing her and Hayden enjoying a day out at a beauty salon in New York City, joined by friends.
But it was a touching video that truly stole the spotlight: Hayden sat perfectly still as she got her ears pierced — while a proud Earhardt held her hand and encouraged her with, “You got this.”
Fans rushed to the comments section, praising Hayden’s bravery and Earhardt’s loving support.
“She looks just like you!” one follower gushed, while another wrote, “Another beautiful memory and Blessed moment… GOD Bless you and your Family Ms. Ainsley…”
Of course, one sharp-eyed fan couldn’t help but notice: “I didn’t see Sean in the picture??”
Romance Timeline: From Helicopter Landings to Church Proposals
The couple’s engagement, revealed just after Christmas 2024, capped years of quiet speculation.
Hannity popped the question at their home church in Florida, marking an intimate and faith-filled milestone in their love story.
Though their busy careers keep them on opposite coasts — Hannity filming in West Palm Beach, Earhardt hosting in Manhattan — they often spend weekends together.
Their romance first made headlines back in 2020, when Vanity Fair reported they were dating. Though the two stayed quiet publicly, insiders recalled jaw-dropping moments like when they arrived by helicopter at a Fox News colleague’s wedding.
“People were like, ‘Wow, okay,'” an ex-Fox executive recalled.
At the time, Hannity’s spokesperson insisted, “I do not discuss my personal life in public,” while Earhardt focused on her daughter — although she did call Hannity a “wonderful person.”
Record-Breaking Hannity
Hannity isn’t just dominating headlines for his romance — he’s also making history.
In April 2022, he officially became America’s longest-running primetime cable news host, surpassing CNN’s Larry King after over 25 years on air.
“I am extremely grateful to Fox News Media and to our loyal, dedicated viewers,” Hannity said after the achievement.
Starting in 1996 with Hannity & Colmes and later going solo, Hannity has remained a force in the ratings war for decades.
Family First
The couple’s blended family excitement is unmistakable — Hannity has two adult children, Patrick and Merri Kelly, from his previous marriage to Jill Rhodes.
Earhardt shares her daughter Hayden with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Will Proctor.
After announcing their engagement, they released a joint statement:
“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives. Our children couldn’t be happier.”
With a wedding on the horizon and two thriving TV careers, fans are eagerly awaiting the next exciting chapter for America’s favorite news duo.
