Fox News Hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt Get Married

Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are officially married. The longtime colleagues exchanged vows Saturday before joining friends and high-profile guests for a glittering celebration at one of the country’s most private clubs, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The couple’s wedding took place at Palm Beach, Florida’s historic Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, nearly two years after they became engaged.

Earhardt, 50, made her way down the aisle in an elegant Oscar de la Renta wedding dress, surrounded by loved ones as well as prominent figures from the worlds of politics, television and entertainment.

The festivities moved that evening to the nearby Everglades Club, an ultra-exclusive members-only venue known for its strict privacy rules. Guests are not permitted to bring cell phones inside the club.

Among those celebrating with the newlyweds were President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, Eric and Lara Trump, casino entrepreneur Steve Wynn, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and country star Lee Greenwood. Champagne and cocktails flowed as guests raised a glass to the couple.

A sizable delegation from Fox News was also on hand, including Earhardt’s Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade. Laura Ingraham, Bret Baier, newly appointed Fox News contributor Karoline Leavitt, network CEO Suzanne Scott and president and executive editor Jay Wallace were also among the attendees.

The wedding celebrations began Friday evening with an exclusive party at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The event was attended by the President and First Lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“My heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy,” Earhardt said in a statement issued through Fox News. “To celebrate this beautiful season of our lives surrounded by the people we love most is truly a dream come true.”

The Fox News stars exchanged vows at Palm Beach’s historic Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea following an engagement that lasted nearly two years.

“God has blessed us in more ways than we could ever imagine, and I am so thankful that He brought Sean and me together,” Earhardt added.

Hannity, 64, a prominent conservative broadcaster and close ally of the President, said: “Ainsley is an incredible person and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful that God brought us together.”

“Faith, family and friendship are what matter most in life, and having so many people we love and care about together to celebrate this moment means the world to us.”

According to a network insider, the pair’s romance developed after years of working together at Fox News and building a close friendship.

Hannity reportedly tried to keep their relationship away from the spotlight, but the Daily Mail confirmed the romance in 2023 with exclusive photographs showing the two getting cozy at a Waffle House.

Hannity proposed to Earhardt at his home church over Christmas 2024, later calling it the “perfect place” to ask her to marry him.

When USA Today asked him earlier this month whether the wedding might take place at the White House, Hannity laughed and replied: “Does anyone really care?”

Instead, the couple selected the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, a century-old Gothic Revival landmark and the oldest surviving congregation in Palm Beach.

The Everglades Club, a playground for the town’s wealthy and well-connected elite, was chosen for the reception for its grandeur and privacy.

The historic venue is tucked away behind Worth Avenue, a ritzy shopping enclave lined with designer boutiques, art galleries and grand mansions.

It dates to the final months of the Great War, when its founder, Paris Singer, heir to the Singer sewing-machine empire, set out to build a convalescent center for wounded American servicemen.

He enlisted architect Addison Mizner, who drew on Spanish and Italian architecture to produce an ornate complex of stucco walls, courtyards and intricate ironwork, all hallmarks of the Mediterranean Revival style that would become synonymous with Palm Beach.

Construction began in 1918, but the Armistice ended the war before the project could fulfil its original purpose and Singer changed course, opening the property as an invitation-only members’ club in February 1919.

The original compound included eight elegant villas, tennis courts and a yacht basin, while a golf course was added in 1920.

Within two years, membership was capped at 500 well-heeled patrons.

Businessman Jack C. Massey, who built a fortune through companies including Kentucky Fried Chicken and Hospital Corporation of America, was a member, as was Eliza Osgood Vanderbilt Webb, granddaughter of railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt.

By 1999, the initiation fee alone was rumored to be $35,000, according to the Palm Beach Daily News. 

The club still doesn’t have a website.Anyone hoping to stage a wedding celebration at the Everglades has to either be a member themselves or have an existing member sponsor them, a worker explained when the Daily Mail rang the club last week.

But that evidently wasn’t a problem for the well-connected Hannity, who moved to South Florida full time in 2024 and owns two townhouses in Palm Beach and a waterfront mansion in nearby Manalapan that he bought for a combined $44 million.

Earhardt stayed put in New York but the couple made their long-distance engagement work by crisscrossing the country on romantic weekend trips.

‘They had only seen each other on weekends given Ainsley lives in the city and Sean was on Long Island,’ a friend previously told the Daily Mail.

‘The only difference now is that they will be traveling by plane instead of a car back and forth to Long Island.’

Hannity split from his first wife Jill Rhodes, 64, with whom he shares children, Patrick, 27, and Merri, 25, in 2015.

‘Everyone is supportive of each other,’ the couple said in a joint statement as they announced their engagement in December 2024.

‘We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.’

Hannity joined Fox when it launched in 1996 and his eponymous nightly show has made him one of the most influential figures in conservative media and the longest-running primetime cable news host in history.

Earhardt is one of the network’s most recognizable presenters on Fox & Friends, its top-rated morning program.
