Two of the most famous Fox News hosts are reportedly dating, but you wouldn't really know
it from them. Why won't they talk about it? Keep watching for their reasons for being so secretive.
While Sean Hannity has no problem asking tough questions on his Fox News show,
he rarely answers queries about his personal life. In fact, Hannity is so
private that the public wasn't aware that he and his wife, Jill Rhodes, had split
until well after their divorce was finalized. The couple, who were married for more than 20 years,
announced their breakup in 2020. A statement about the couple's divorce read:
"Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children.
Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between
Sean and Jill. They maintain a close relationship as parents to their children."
Both Hannity and Rhodes have stayed true to their word. In fact, they
still celebrate holidays together as a family with their kids. A source told the Daily Mail:
"Sean and Jill are great parents, when together you don't even realize they split."
And Hannity has remained quiet when it comes to his dating life. Although neither has confirmed
the relationship, Hannity has been linked to fellow Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt. They
appeared to make their relationship public in 2020 when they showed up at a party together.
A source also told Vanity Fair that Earhardt hosted Fox & Friends from the basement of
Hannity's Long Island mansion during the pandemic. While Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt seemed
to make their relationship public in 2020, don't expect Hannity to ever comment on his new romance.
In fact, when asked about Earhardt, Hannity said through a network spokesperson,
"I do not discuss my personal life in public."
A source also told People:
"[Sean Hannity is] very private, because he's very famous and he's very controversial.
But it's been an open secret that they have been seeing each other."
Earhardt has been so cautious when it comes to details about her relationship with Hannity
that she has gone so far as denying she is dating anyone at the moment.
Earhardt said through a network spokesperson:
"Right now I am focused on raising my daughter and I am not dating anyone. As anyone at Fox News will
tell you, Sean is a wonderful person and whomever he chooses to date will be extremely fortunate."
While Hannity and Earhardt have kept their relationship under wraps, she has dropped hints
that the two are definitely together, including when Hannity made an appearance on Fox & Friends
to commemorate Fox News' 25th anniversary. When co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Hannity if
he had a favorite co-host among the program's three anchors, Earhardt quickly responded,
"Yes, he does."
The program also revisited some of Hannity's most memorable moments during his career
with the network, where he has worked since its launch in 1996. Hannity told the hosts,
"It's an all-day affair. It never stops. I'm like a Marine all week."
And, in an October 2021 interview with Newsweek,
Hannity insisted that his personal life takes a backseat to work. Hannity told the outlet:
"I'll tell you this; I'm a complete loser,
hermit, recluse during my workweek, because all I do is work."
Still, Earhardt took the time to gush over her boyfriend during his time on her show, explaining,
"If you knew what we know about him, he's the most generous person." "You're
just a really good person, Sean, and you've helped all of our careers."
Ainsley Earhardt has been vocal about her desire to have more children. The mother
of one revealed to People in 2020 that she had even frozen her eggs. Earhardt told the outlet:
"I had Hayden so late in my life, and I'm in my 40s, so I would be open to that 1,000%.
If I met someone who had a lot of kids, that would be great. [...] I just love children and
I love being a mother, so I won't rule that out. … Maybe I'll adopt a child, we'll see."
For now, though, her focus is on her daughter and her career. In fact,
Earhardt believes she owes a lot to Fox News. Earhardt told People:
"I still feel that pinch me moment when I walk into work every day. And I do think about how
my life has changed over the course of the last 13 years. [...] It's all happened there. [...] [T]he
most monumental parts of my life, really, most of them have happened while I'm working at Fox."
