Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt announced on Thursday that the two of them are now officially about to get hitched. That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, Hannity and Earhardt are pursuing the sacrament of marriage, overcoming the obstacle of being a long-distance relationship which often kills, maims, and destroys most couples. What a testament to the love these two share.
According to The Daily Caller, Hannity, who is 62, proposed to the 48-year-old Earhardt over Christmas while they were at their home church. Now that’s awesome. What a beautiful place to pledge your intention to love each other and dedicate your marriage to Christ. The couple also revealed that their children are on board with the decision.
“We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives,” Earhardt and Hannity said in comments given to Fox News.
Since January, the couple has made their long-distance relationship work, as Hannity moved his base to Florida, applauding it as the “free state.” Despite the engagement, the two have signed long-term deals with Fox News Media, continuing their arrangement, with Hannity hosting in Florida and Earhardt remaining in New York, according to Fox. While it is unclear when the relationship between Hannity and Earhardt began, the Daily Mail first reported on the two in 2023.
In June 2020, Hannity said that he and his then-wife Jill Rhodes were separating after more than two decades of marriage. The couple shares two children, Patrick and Merri. Earhardt also finalized her second divorce in 2019 from ex-husband Will Proctor after nearly seven years of marriage. They share a daughter, Hayden. Prior to her second marriage, Earhardt was married to Kevin McKinney from 2005 to 2009, according to People. Due to originally bonding over their faith and placing “God first in their relationship,” the couple told Fox News that the proposal at their home church was the “perfect place” for the engagement. They also said they met with their minister shortly afterward, according to the outlet.
Let’s pray for the happy couple to be blessed by God and have their relationship bear fruit for the Kingdom of God. The Lord created marriage as a means of demonstrating to us what the relationship between Christ and His people, the Church, is supposed to look like. A family unit is also supposed to resemble the Holy Trinity, which is still an imperfect analogy when it comes to understanding such a concept. However, this, plus the wedding at Cana, help us understand that marriage is sacred to God. Which is why we should pray for the success of Hanity and Earhardt’s union.
