Fox News star gets real about wellness, social media, and life behind the camera.
You may know Aishah Hasnie as the sharp, stylish Fox News correspondent covering one of the most historic presidential elections in decades. But off-camera, she’s also navigating something a lot more relatable: burnout, boundaries, and what it means to turn 40 while still single, thriving, and very much in motion.
Campaign Trail Chaos — And a Grocery List from Dad
As the 2024 election approached, Hasnie was everywhere: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Michigan, and back again — juggling live shots, interviews, and travel all at once.
“It is go-go-go,” she told her friend Erin Como in a 2024 interview. “It’s one of the most important elections of our lifetime… and I’m honored to be right there, asking the questions voters want asked.”
But with all that history in the making, there’s a hidden cost: exhaustion.
“There have been days where my first meal was at 8 p.m.,” she admitted. “I can’t keep doing that.”
After relying too much on cheese puffs and peach cobbler during the midterms, she got a wake-up call — from her dad, who literally wrote her a snack grocery list to help her stay healthy on the road.
Faith, Pressure, and Staying Grounded
For Hasnie, balance isn’t just about food and rest. It’s deeply spiritual.
“This is a high-pressure job,” she said. “I pray throughout the day. I’ll say little prayers for guidance… for my words to be truthful and honest.”
Being a Muslim woman in a prominent media role hasn’t always been easy — but it’s something she embraces fully.
“You can lose yourself in this industry if you’re not careful,” she reflected. “That’s why humility and good people around me are so important.”
Thick Skin in a Loud World
Whether she’s interviewing candidates or moderating heated debates, everyone has an opinion — especially online. But Hasnie doesn’t flinch.
“I’ve had people threaten to sue me. I’ve ticked off a lot of people,” she admitted. “But if you look at my body of work, you’ll see fairness and integrity.”
And while the noise can get loud, she leans on her circle of family and friends to stay centered — and doesn’t get distracted by critics who don’t see the full picture.
“Maybe not everyone will believe I’m unbiased,” she said. “But I know I’ve given everyone a voice.”
The Power of Mentorship — and Smart Girl Summers
For all her professional drive, Aishah lights up most when talking about lifting others up.
“I just saw two of my mentees while covering Michigan,” she said proudly. “One’s older, one’s newer — but both are thriving. That’s what makes me happiest.”
She credits her own mentors — like Linsey Davis at ABC and Fansi Stigger at Merit Street Media — for shaping her career. Now, she’s paying it forward.
“I love building people up more than I love covering politics,” she said. “We’re in our Smart Girl era. It’s not hot girl summer — it’s smart girl summer.”
So, Is There Room for Love?
Now in her 40s, some might expect Aishah Hasnie to feel pressure to settle down. But if there’s one thing she’s made clear — she’s doing life her way.
“There are expectations other people have — and then there are your own,” she said. “I’ve always put independence and purpose first.”
Though she’s constantly in front of the camera, Aishah keeps her personal life intentionally private. She’s not married, and aside from the occasional rumor, there’s no known partner in sight. According to Tuko and other outlets, she’s believed to be single and focused on building her professional legacy.
And don’t expect her to spill the tea on X (formerly Twitter) either — she’s not even on it. During a 2021 appearance on Gutfeld!, the host joked:
“I love the fact that Hasnie has no X. She’s smarter than all of us.”
For Aishah, that’s the point. Purpose first, pressure never.
Home, Friendship & What’s Next
Though she’s often on the move, D.C. remains her home base. She loves the food scene, the monuments, and yes — walking the National Mall.
“This is one of the most powerful cities in the world,” she said. “And I know how lucky I am to live here.”
She also leans on deep friendships — like the one she shares with Erin Como, who she calls a lifeline from the early days of her D.C. move.
“When I moved here, I needed someone,” she said. “Erin was just there — ready to love on me and be a friend.”
What’s next for Aishah Hasnie? More history. More growth. Maybe even a book.
“Help me with the title, then I’ll write it,” she joked.
Whatever the next chapter holds, one thing’s clear: she’s writing it on her terms.
