iHeartRadio host Sean Hannity and FOX News colleague Ainsley Earhardt announced their engagement in a joint statement to the network on Thursday (December 26).
Hannity, 62, proposed to Earhardt, 48, at their home church on Christmas Day (December 25), having initially bonded over their faith.
"We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives," Earhardt and Hannity said via FOX News.
Hannity's son and daughter and Earhardt's daughter were reported to have all given the couple their blessing.
Hannity has served as a host for FOX News in some capacity since the network's launch in October 1996, initially opposite Alan Colmes on Hannity & Colmes until 2009, Hannity's America from 2007 to 2009, and his current program, Hannity, since 2009. Earhardt joined FOX News in 2007, initially appearing on Hannity with her own segment 'Ainsley Across America' and co-hosting several other programs before becoming the full-time weekday co-host on FOX & Friends in 2016.
The couple, who was initially reported to be dating in 2020 after prior divorces, said they "still get along well" with their ex-spouses" and claimed that "everyone is supportive of each other."
“We actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time,” they said via FOX News.
