It’s all Watters under the bridge.
Fox News host Jesse Watters has finalized a divorce with his ex-wife after an affair with a 26-year-old staffer at the Trump-friendly network, which in recent years has been rocked by high-profile departures of talent in the wake of multiple employee harassment lawsuits.
Watters, 40, and his ex, Noelle Watters, were due to appear for the first day of a divorce trial in Suffolk County on Wednesday but they never showed.
“As will happen, the parties called the court this morning and explained that the case settled,” a court official said.
Attorneys for the former couple did not respond to requests for comment. The Watters have twin girls.
The terms of the settlement are confidential. Court records give minimal information about the contested divorce. Noelle did demand that Jesse pay for her legal fees, though it’s not certain if a judge approved the request.
The Daily News exclusively reported last year that Jesse Watters had started dating Emma DiGiovine, an associate producer on his show “Watters’ World,” while still married to Noelle. He notified the network of the affair after Noelle, 42, filed for divorce in October.
Jesse Watters and DiGiovine appear to still be a happy couple. Just two days ago she posted a photo on Instagram of her and Watters on an upstate ski trip. They rang in the New Year in the Dominican Republic.
A Fox News spokeswoman said DeGiovine left the network in spring 2018. The network previously said it had followed proper protocol after learning of the relationship. DiGiovine was transferred to “The Ingraham Angle.”
The network says it has strengthened its human resources department and implemented extensive sexual harassment training following the ouster of its influential founder, Roger Ailes, in July 2016 amid allegations of sexual harassment and rampant sexism.
Watters, who has been described as the network’s golden boy, has had steak dinner at the White House with Trump. He is among the cast of Fox News personalities who maintain an unwavering allegiance to the President.
On Tuesday Trump tweeted a clip of Watters bashing the media on “The Five.”
“He has every right to say that Fake News is the enemy of the American people,” Watters said.
“Could not have said it any better myself!” Trump tweeted.
