Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt married with a star-studded guest list
A pre-wedding dinner at Mar-a-Lago kicked off celebrations that brought television colleagues and Washington heavyweights together in Florida.
Fox News anchors Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt were married on Saturday, October 24, at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, in a service officiated by their ministers, Fox News confirmed.
The ceremony brought together family members, network colleagues, and political leaders. Earhardt, 50, wore an Oscar de la Renta wedding gown, while Hannity, 64, wore a white tuxedo jacket paired with black trousers and a black bow tie, according to reporting from Fox News and Us Weekly.
Inside the ceremony and reception
The couple exchanged personal vows during a traditional service that featured Scripture readings from Romans 12 and the Song of Solomon. Following the nuptials, the celebration moved to the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, where a wedding reception was held under a retractable roof.
“Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife. To exchange our vows in our home church where we got engaged, surrounded by our children, families and dearest friends, was more meaningful than we could have ever imagined,” the newlyweds said in a joint statement to Fox News.
“Our faith has always been at the center of our relationship, and we truly believe God brought us together. We feel blessed by the outpouring of love and support from the wonderful people in our lives and are excited for the future. Above all, we are grateful to God for bringing us to this moment and for the beautiful life we will continue to build together,” they added.
Pre-wedding party and a high-profile guest list
Festivities began on Friday, October 23, with a pre-wedding celebration and rehearsal dinner hosted at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach. Donald Trump and Melania Trump attended the Friday evening gathering, though Donald Trump did not attend Saturday’s church ceremony, CNN and Fox News reported.
Ahead of the Friday dinner, Trump told reporters: “We’re gonna go over and celebrate with Sean Hannity and Ainsley at Mar-a-Lago. They’re doing a big, beautiful thing.”
Hannity addressed the venue choice in an earlier statement to Fox News: “I’ve had a personal relationship with President Trump for over 30 years. When Ainsley and I began planning this celebration, it was important to us that he could be part of this special time in our lives. We chose to host a party at Mar-a-Lago and paid fair market value for the venue. We are grateful that he and Melania could celebrate alongside our families and friends.”
The weekend guest list drew heavily from television and national politics, according to Fox News and TMZ. Attendees included Fox News personalities Bret Baier, Laura Ingraham, Kayleigh McEnany, Dana Perino, Steve Doocy, Martha MacCallum, Bill Hemmer, and Lara Trump. Political figures in attendance included Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, U.S. Senator Tim Scott, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as well as Steve Wynn, Lee Greenwood, Jillian Michaels, and Patrick Bet-David.
A relationship that began as colleagues
Hannity and Earhardt first met in 2007 as network colleagues. Their romance began in 2019 and was first publicly reported in 2020, with the couple keeping much of their relationship away from the public spotlight. Hannity proposed on Christmas Day in December 2024 at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, the same sanctuary where they tied the knot 22 months later.
Hannity was previously married to Jill Rhodes from 1993 until their divorce in 2019, and the former couple share two adult children, Patrick and Merri Kelly. Earhardt was previously married to Kevin McKinney from 2005 to 2009, and to Will Proctor from 2012 until their divorce was finalized in 2019; she and Proctor share a 10-year-old daughter, Hayden.
Details about the couple’s honeymoon plans have not yet been announced, and it remains unknown whether they plan to adjust their bi-state living arrangement, with Earhardt working out of New York and Hannity based in Florida.
