Sean Hannity, a Fox News anchor, and Ainsley Earnhardt, a Fox & Friends co-host, have dispelled the allegations and confirmed their relationship.
The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that there have been rumors that the two popular hosts have been dating for several years and that Ainsley films her program at Hannity’s house, where he has his own studio.
“They are extremely happy together and have been for a while. It’s not a surprise to anyone who knows them, but they’re very private people and prefer to keep their personal life private and lowkey. They started out as best friends and the relationship evolved over time. He’s a generous and kind guy and she is just an incredibly wonderful person,” a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail.
“They’re a really sweet couple with so much love for each other. Sean adores Ainsley’s daughter Hayden. Ainsley and Sean are genuine, lovely people who are both truly beloved at Fox News, so everyone at the network has been happy for them for a while. Sean was there for Ainsley through her mother’s illness last fall (she died in October 2022) and was by her side picking up all the pieces – she leaned on him during some extraordinarily difficult times,” the outlet added.
