AceShowbiz - Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt, prominent Fox News personalities, joyfully announced their engagement over the Christmas holiday. Hannity, 62, proposed to the "Fox & Friends" host Earhardt, 48, at their home church, symbolizing the faith that has been a pillar in their relationship.

Despite their long-distance relationship - Hannity living in Florida and Earhardt in New York - the couple has managed to cultivate a close bond. "We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives," the couple shared in an official announcement made by Fox News.

President-elect Donald Trump also chimed in with a congratulatory message on Truth Social, stating, "Great news about Sean and Ainsley... There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple."

This forthcoming marriage will be the third for Earhardt. She was previously married to Kevin McKinney from 2005 to 2009, and then to Will Proctor from 2012 to 2019, with whom she shares a 9-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, Hannity's first marriage to Jill Rhodes lasted from 1993 until their amicable divorce in 2019, and they have two grown children, a son and a daughter.

Both figures are cornerstones of the Fox Network - they plan to continue their longstanding roles in their respective shows despite the logistical challenges of their geographic separation. Hannity will remain the face of his eponymous show while Earhardt will continue to co-host "Fox & Friends."

Vanity Fair first hinted at their relationship back in August 2020, describing them as the "first couple" of Fox News. They were first spotted together at a wedding for Fox personalities Pete Hegseth and Jennifer Rauchet.

As they step into this new chapter, Hannity and Earhardt have emphasized the importance of family and faith, acknowledging the support of their children and former spouses in this transition. The couple remarked, "Everyone is supportive of each other." For many, their engagement symbolizes a melding of personal and professional worlds that have been well-received by colleagues and fans alike.
