While a lot of news anchors are celebrities in their own right, they're far less likely
to become tabloid fodder like the typical Hollywood set.
But while we don't get many updates about these stars beyond the newsdesk, they've all
been going home to some incredibly gorgeous husbands!
Katie Couric and her handsome hubby, John Molner, have been married since 2014.
"He's just got this incredibly dry and wry sense of humor.
And he doesn't take himself too seriously."
Couric first met the banker in 2012, after being set up by a mutual friend who nagged
him to ask her out.
She told The Jess Cagle Interview,
"He finally asked me out, we met at a restaurant, and what can I say?
He had me at hello."
These days, Couric and Molner remain devoted to each other.
So devoted, they even get colonoscopies together, as Couric revealed on Instagram.
"Cheers."
"Can't wait to do this with you."
"Which bathroom do you want?"
Their relationship is made all the more meaningful by the fact that Couric tragically lost her
first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer in 1998.
Remembering her late husband, Couric says he and Molner would have been friends.
In June 2019, she honored Monahan on Instagram, writing,
"I hope you would be proud of the way I've lived my life and know you'd be proud of your
girls who have grown into incredible young women.
I think you would like [John] who honors your memory and knows there is room in my heart
for you both."
Robin Meade celebrated her 25th anniversary with her husband, Tim Yeager, in 2018.
She commemorated the milestone on Facebook, writing,
"25 years later looking at our wedding album, and out pops his handwritten vows he delivered
at the ceremony (with no 'repeat after me' coaching needed from the minister).
I had no idea we stuffed them in the photo album years ago.
What a touching surprise."
The two are college sweethearts and Meade says her husband fell in love at first sight.
The HLN anchor said in an interview with YourTango,
"He says it was like God was telling him 'There she is!'
How sweet is that?"
While Yeager is quite handsome, Meade certainly didn't marry him for his looks, and she doesn't
think anyone else should do that either.
She told the outlet,
"Sooner or later we all age and start to droop.
Don't marry someone for their position and don't marry someone for money.
Money comes and goes, and since when is that love?
Marry someone because they make you laugh.
Humor is always [attractive.]
Besides, it's awfully hard to get mad at someone while they're making you laugh."
"I say it makes for a great marriage.
We've been married for 19 years."
Harris Faulkner and her husband, Tony Berlin, were married in 2003, and the couple have
two beautiful daughters.
Faulkner has spoken about what it's like raising biracial children, saying that she and her
husband are blessed.
She told People magazine,
"It's beautiful for any parent to get the opportunity to have those loved ones in our
lives.
I'm with someone who is religiously Jewish and racially different from me."
"You can label that whatever you want, I call it love."
Faulkner says that things have gotten a bit trickier since the kids have gotten older,
but that being a mother is a welcome challenge, and that she has a supportive partner to help
navigate this chapter of their lives.
She added,
"I married an amazing guy.
I couldn't do it without [him]."
Good Morning America anchor Paula Faris and her hottie husband, John Krueger, have been
together ever since college.
While they were married in 2000 and have three children together, their fairytale romance
wasn't without its hardships.
The host revealed to Good Housekeeping that she and her husband even split up at one point.
Faris said,
"My husband and I were separated early on in our marriage before we had children.
And we just didn't feel right about [it].
As much as I wanted to walk and as much as I wanted to be done with that marriage and
move on with my life, I didn't have…peace about it."
"I married my college sweetheart, but he had me on the basketball court.
Well, not had me on the basketball court.
And to this day, there is nothing hotter than when he dribbles."
Faris credits her faith with pulling them through the difficult period in their marriage.
And she and Krueger are now stronger than ever.
She posted in 2019, on Instagram,
"Happy Anniversary, babe.
Cheers to when our hair was thicker…We're gonna be so much hotter in another 19 years."
Thomas Roberts was one of the first national news anchors to come out as gay.
Roberts revealed his orientation in 2006, taking his relationship with Patrick Abner
public.
"Now, I can't imagine any other way to live, and to feel, and I know that my life is blessed."
The couple met at a party in 2000, with Roberts telling the New York Times,
"I was warned, 'He has a face that will slay you.'
And it did.
I remember thinking, 'I've never met or seen anybody like this.'
I was very nervous around him.
I didn't know how to compose myself."
It turned out, the feeling was mutual according to Abner, who said,
"There were sparks, but I played my cards close to the chest.
I was a bit guarded."
The two were married in 2012, after more than a decade together.
Legendary anchor Megyn Kelly met her husband, internet security exec Douglas Brunt, on a
blind date that went incredibly well.
She told The New York Times of their first meeting,
"He came across as sincere.
While we were talking, he leaned forward, really listening to what I was saying.
He's also clever and has a great sense of humor."
"Look at him how good looking he is, who wouldn't wanna dance with him."
The couple were married in 2008 and have remained madly in love ever since.
Kelly gushed about her happily ever after on Twitter in 2019, writing,
"You know how you sometimes think, 'I'm not going to find it.
It may not happen for me?'
Well it's not true.
Keep the faith.
Work on making your own life full, with or [without] a partner.
Then one day, someone like [Doug] walks in and *that* is your before and after."
According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, CNN news anchor Brooke Baldwin met James Fletcher
at a holiday party and sparks flew from the very start.
She told AJC Radio,
"I knew he was the guy since I met him.
He's been incredibly flexible being with me."
"I gotta keep my head screwed on right, and I need as much balance as I possibly can,
doing this job."
The British producer and director has been by Baldwin's side since 2015, even interrupting
their 2016 vacation in France for Baldwin to go back to work.
Baldwin told People magazine,
"It took me 36 years to find him, and it was worth the wait."
In 2009, The New York Times covered the stunning wedding between anchor Julie Banderas and
her handsome husband, Andrew Sansone, going all the way back to their engagement moment.
"He's holding something, and I'm with my flashlight, illuminating my ring, and I looked at him,
'I'm like what?
Did you just...Wait, what?'"
Sansone also boasts an impressive career as a financial advisor, and the happy couple
have three children.
It's clear that parenthood is very important to the duo, and both of them brag about their
kids on social media.
Banderas writes on her own Instagram profile:
"Mommy to Addison, Avery and Harrison and FOX News Channel anchor.
So basically I'm a full time mom who goes to my full time job to relax."
The moment ESPN news anchor Maria Taylor and her future hubby set eyes on each other at
a 2014 basketball game, they knew something special was happening.
Taylor told The Knot,
"I've never had that feeling before, ever, where you just look at someone and you're
like, 'That's the one.'"
"I am in no way, shape, or form in control of my destiny or where this road called life
really leads us."
Rodney Blackstock proposed after eight months, but the couple ultimately decided to call
off their wedding.
Taylor revealed,
"I wasn't ready to be a wife and he wasn't ready to be a husband.
We just needed more time.
As difficult as it was to break off the wedding, we wanted to be in a better place together,
especially when you go through a life-changing event like a wedding."
In 2019, the couple reunited and decided that they were ready to embark on a life together.
The anchor said,
"We're going through our life together, forever.
The things that I'm not great at or the things that I struggle with, he's super strong in…He's
definitely that other half."
"You learn how to fail.
You learn that hey, I missed the last layup, but it doesn't matter, I gotta go get back
in the line and try to make the next one."
According to The New York Times, anchor Bianna Golodryga's gigs have included Good Morning
America, CBS, and Yahoo News.
And her husband's resume is equally impressive.
Good Housekeeping reported that hubby Peter Orszag worked under Barack Obama as director
of the office of management and budget, as well as director of the Congressional Budget
Office.
Orszag once said of his Russian-born wife,
"If she ever went into Russian speak with me I think that would be a signal that I had
done something very very wrong.
Hasn't happened so far."
The couple have been married since 2010, and have a beautiful family.
Golodryga frequently posts pictures of her brood, and in 2018, she commemorated their
big day on Instagram writing,
"Happy Anniversary to the best husband, father and friend I could ask for.
Love you."
Anchor Lisa Ling has two kids with her husband, Dr. Paul Song.
She married the oncologist in a celebrity extravaganza in 2010, at which time Song told
InStyle, quote, "Every day with Lisa is a honeymoon."
Life is still blissful for the couple as they raise their two kids, although Ling has admitted
that motherhood scares her a little bit.
She told People magazine in 2017,
"I'm terrified of raising two girls.
Just thinking of myself as a teenager and how boy-crazy I was and how curious I was,
I am absolutely terrified."
"I try my best to give her my most undivided attention, so trying to be present as much
as I can."
Ling said that while her own parents didn't really talk to her about the birds and the
bees, she wants her kids to be better prepared, adding,
"I want them both to be empowered about everything, to know that they can do whatever they want
and not be inhibited about anything, but that they need to be careful sometimes."
Frances Rivera is happily married to Stuart Fraass, who's successful in his own right
as the principal and founder of Five Borough Capital.
Rivera and Fraass have two children together who are turning out to be just as good-looking
as their parents, and it's obvious that Rivera is proud of her beautiful family.
The NBC and MSNBC anchor regularly posts pictures of her kids and her husband on Instagram.
"Let's just say that this was always the destination.
But there were many diversions and many detours in getting here."
Rivera married Fraass in 2003, after they had been together for five years.
In a 2018 Instagram post, Rivera gushed about her husband on their wedding anniversary,
writing,
"7,300 sunsets and toasts since meeting this guy and 5,475 since our I Do's."
We know from her Instagram that anchor Betty Nguyen considers her hubby to be a good-looking
guy, but that's about the limit on what the couple shares with the public.
Nguyen has been protective over her husband's identity, and hasn't revealed even so much
as his name.
She has shared the holiday when she met her husband, though, posting:
"I actually met my husband on Halloween.
It was his silky blond wig that did the trick."
Nguyen is a doting mom and posts plenty of pictures of her kids.
She didn't always want to be a mother, but her husband changed her mind.
She wrote for Today,
"I've spent most of my life with a to-do list of goals that didn't include having a baby,
until I was in my mid-30's.
From cable news to network news, it's been an exciting adventure of cameras, travel and
living the dream.
But when I met my husband that dream changed.
I was finally ready for kids."
Sharon Epperson has had quite a prolific career as an award-winning journalist and author,
who's been a regular fill-in anchor on several CNBC shows.
The anchor and her husband, fellow journalist Christopher John Farley, have been married
since 1997, according to The New York Times.
Epperson and Farley have clearly lived up to their vows, sticking together in sickness
and in health.
In 2016, Epperson suffered a brain aneurysm, and her husband was with her every step of
the way.
She told NBC,
"Without warning, I was suddenly disabled, uncertain of whether or when I could ever
be able to return to my career."
"I had to learn how to walk again.
And I learned how to maintain my balance.
I had to learn how to go up stairs."
Farley stayed by his wife's side through her full recovery.
