Fox News stars Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt have officially tied the knot in a private beach wedding, surrounded by their closest family members. The couple, who announced their engagement on December 26, 2024, opted for an intimate ceremony away from the public eye, reflecting their desire to keep this milestone personal despite their high-profile careers.
The wedding took place on April 14, 2025, at a secluded beach in Palm Beach, Florida, near Hannity’s $5.3 million townhouse, which he purchased in 2021—just a six-minute drive from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Sources close to the couple revealed that the event was a small affair, with only immediate family in attendance, including Hannity’s two children, Patrick and Merri, from his previous marriage to Jill Rhodes, and Earhardt’s daughter, Hayden, from her marriage to Will Proctor. The couple’s children, who were reportedly thrilled about the engagement, played a special role in the ceremony, with Hayden serving as the flower girl.
Hannity, 63, and Earhardt, 48, exchanged vows at sunset, with the sound of waves providing a serene backdrop. Earhardt wore a simple yet elegant ivory gown with delicate lace details, while Hannity chose a classic navy suit without a tie, embracing the relaxed beach setting. The ceremony was officiated by their home church minister, a nod to the deep faith that has been a cornerstone of their relationship. “It was a beautiful, heartfelt moment,” a family friend shared. “They wanted to focus on their love and their family, nothing more.”
The couple’s journey to this day has been marked by a balance of privacy and public curiosity. They began dating secretly years ago, with rumors first surfacing in 2020 when they arrived together at a colleague’s wedding in Hannity’s private helicopter. Despite initial denials, their relationship became an “open secret” at Fox News, with the pair often spotted together at events like the 2022 Oyster Fest in Long Island. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Earhardt hosted Fox & Friends from Hannity’s Long Island mansion, further fueling speculation. Their engagement last Christmas, announced after Hannity proposed at their church in Florida, was met with widespread support, including a congratulatory message from President-elect Donald Trump on Truth Social, calling it “a deal made in HEAVEN!!!”
Despite their demanding careers—Hannity hosting his prime-time show from Florida and Earhardt co-hosting Fox & Friends in New York—the couple has made their long-distance relationship work. Earhardt shared on Fox & Friends in January 2025 that they never miss a weekend together, a commitment they plan to maintain post-marriage. “We make it work, and it’s easy because we love each other,” she said, praising Hannity’s kindness and generosity.
The wedding’s location near Mar-a-Lago had sparked speculation that the couple might choose Trump’s resort for their nuptials, but they opted for a more private setting. However, Trump’s influence was felt—Hannity has long been a close advisor to the president-elect, and the couple’s shared admiration for him has been evident throughout their careers. Trump reportedly sent a personal gift to the couple, though he did not attend the ceremony.
Fans of the couple, who have followed their journey through subtle hints on social media—like Earhardt’s Christmas Instagram post featuring Hannity—were delighted by the news, though no official photos have been released. The couple issued a brief statement through Fox News: “We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and support from our families. This day was about our commitment to each other and to God, and we couldn’t be happier.”
As Hannity and Earhardt embark on this new chapter, they continue to balance their personal happiness with their professional roles. Earhardt remains a fixture on Fox & Friends, while Hannity hosts his eponymous show and a new Fox Nation series, “Sean.” Their wedding, though private, marks a public affirmation of their love, inspiring fans who have rooted for their union since the beginning.
