Longtime Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are officially engaged. Hannity proposed to Earhardt during the Christmas holiday at their church, a location they felt was particularly meaningful due to their shared faith. Their children are reportedly thrilled with the news.

"We're incredibly happy and deeply appreciate the love and support from our families during this special time," the couple stated.

A strong shared faith has been a cornerstone of their relationship. Meeting with their minister after the proposal underscored the importance of their faith in this new chapter.

Despite maintaining a largely private relationship, the couple has navigated a long-distance dynamic with regular trips between Earhardt's base in New York and Hannity's residence in Florida. Both have long-term agreements with FOX News Media, allowing them to continue their respective roles. Earhardt will remain co-host of "FOX & Friends" in New York, and Hannity will continue hosting his primetime show "Hannity" from Florida.

Both Hannity and Earhardt have been married previously. They emphasized maintaining positive relationships with their former spouses, noting everyone's supportive nature. "We informed them of our plans in advance," they shared. Earhardt highlighted a smooth co-parenting relationship with her ex-husband.

Hannity boasts a remarkable 15-year reign as the top-rated program in his time slot, holding the record as the longest-running cable news host. An original member of the Fox News team since its 1996 launch, he initially co-hosted "Hannity & Colmes." Beyond his primetime show, Hannity's influence extends to a widely syndicated radio show reaching 750 stations nationwide. He also recently launched "Sean" on FOX Nation, featuring in-depth interviews, including a recent conversation with Sylvester Stallone and his wife.

Earhardt, who joined Fox News in 2007, became a co-host of "FOX & Friends" in 2016. The popular morning show has maintained its number one ranking for over two decades. A successful author with four New York Times bestsellers, including three top-ranking children’s books, Earhardt also hosts "Ainsley’s Bible Study" on FOX Nation. Earlier this year, she received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the University of South Carolina, recognizing her accomplishments in broadcast journalism and authorship.
