Earhardt, 48, has been with the network since 2007, where she is a co-host on Fox & Friends.

Hannity is one of the original Fox News hosts to still be at the network, having joined at its launch in 1996.

They have made their relationship work despite Hannity relocating permanently to Palm Beach, Florida, while Earhardt has remained in New York.

Earhardt was previously married to former Clemson Tigers quarterback Will Proctor between 2012 and 2019.

Hannity, 62, and his ex-wife Jill Rhodes separated in 2020 after 27 years of marriage.

Both Earhard and Hannity “still get along well” with their former spouses, and “everyone is supportive of each other,” according to sources close to the couple.

Their children are also all supportive of the couple tying the knot.

Earhardt shared the first pictures of the couple since their engagement announcement on Friday.

Sharing the pictures with her almost 360,000 Instagram followers, Earhardt put a sweet caption under the post.

“Merry Christmas,” she wrote. “Happy birthday, Jesus. 2024 has been a very special year.”

Fox has said they will continue in their current roles at the network, with Hannity hosting his long-running eponymous show.

Earhardt, for her part, will remain on the iconic Fox & Friends couch between Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.

Their relationship has even received the presidential seal of approval.

There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple.

President-elect took to his Truth Social account on Friday morning to offer his blessings to the happy couple.

“Great news about Sean and Ainsley,” he wrote. “They are officially engaged to be married!

“There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple.

“Congratulations to both – A deal made in HEAVEN!!! DJT.”

Hannity reportedly got down on one knee in his local church to propose.

The couple, who first bonded over their faith, thought the church the “perfect” spot to get engaged.

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