Fox News presenters Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt were married on Saturday 24 October at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, the network has confirmed. The couple, who became engaged at the same church in December 2024, exchanged vows in a ceremony attended by family, friends and numerous colleagues from the broadcaster.

Ceremony, faith and a high-profile guest list

According to Fox News, the wedding was held at the church where the pair became engaged less than a year ago. In a statement released to the network, the newlyweds spoke of their gratitude and the role their faith plays in their relationship.

"Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife," Hannity and Earhardt said in a joint statement. "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 couple went on to say their faith has been central to their relationship and that they feel "blessed by the outpouring of love and support" from those around them.

Who attended

Fox News said a number of the network’s on-air personalities were present, alongside prominent political figures connected to the former Trump administration and Republican circles. Guests listed by the network included:

  • Fox & Friends cohosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade
  • Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Dana Perino, Bret Baier and Harris Faulkner
  • Emily Compagno, Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Kayleigh McEnany, Carley Shimkus and Trey Gowdy
  • Eric Trump and Lara Trump
  • Karoline Leavitt, Susie Wiles and Dan Scavino
  • Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Fox News also reported the couple hosted a party on the evening before the wedding at Mar-a-Lago, the private club owned by Donald Trump. The former president and the former first lady attended that event. Hannity told Fox News that he has had a longstanding relationship with Mr Trump and that when planning the celebration it was important the couple include him; the network said a "fair market value" was paid for the venue.

Context and consequences

The union of two prominent cable news hosts — both regularly engaged in political commentary — will inevitably draw attention beyond the social sphere. Hannity, one of the most visible conservative voices on US television, and Earhardt, a familiar morning presenter, operate at the intersection of media and partisan politics; their nuptials bring together colleagues and political operatives who feature frequently in Washington’s media ecosystem.

While the event itself was a private ceremony, the guest list highlights how densely connected broadcast talent and Republican political figures remain ahead of the 2026 election cycle. The attendance of ex-White House staff and state leadership underlines the couple’s standing within those networks.

For viewers and critics alike, the wedding will be parsed for what it reveals about relationships between media figures and political players. But for those closest to the couple, the day was framed by faith and family: the statement noted that exchanging vows in the same church where they became engaged and being surrounded by their children and loved ones made the occasion particularly meaningful.

As this event circulates through social and political media, it serves as a reminder of how personal milestones for public figures can immediately acquire broader significance when they involve networks of influence, broadcast reach and partisan politics.
