In a heartwarming twist for one of Fox News’ most prominent couples, Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt are reportedly preparing to welcome their first child together in late 2025. The announcement, which surfaced in April 2025 through sources close to the couple, has sent waves of excitement through their fanbase and colleagues. Engaged over Christmas 2024 at their Florida home church, the couple—known as the “First Couple of Fox”—is now balancing their high-powered careers with the anticipation of a new family member. Hannity, 63, host of Hannity, and Earhardt, 48, co-host of Fox & Friends, are navigating this milestone with their signature blend of faith, humor, and devotion, proving that love and family can redefine even the busiest lives.
The news broke via a Daily Mail report on April 20, 2025, citing insiders who said Earhardt was spotted at a New York obstetrician’s office, sparking speculation. Though the couple hasn’t officially confirmed the pregnancy, sources told The U.S. Sun that Hannity and Earhardt are “over the moon” and planning for a fall arrival. “They’re keeping it quiet for now, but their close circle knows they’re thrilled,” the source said. Fans on X amplified the buzz, with posts like, “Sean and Ainsley expecting a baby? That’s the best Fox News scoop of 2025!” and “Congrats to the First Couple of Fox—here’s to their little patriot!” The couple’s silence only fueled excitement, as their engagement had already captivated viewers months earlier.
Hannity and Earhardt’s journey to this moment has been a public yet private romance. They confirmed their relationship in 2020 after years of speculation, with Vanity Fair reporting they’d been quietly dating since at least 2019. Their Christmas 2024 engagement, when Hannity proposed at their Florida church, was a fairy-tale moment. Earhardt shared on Fox & Friends how Hannity surprised her: “I thought we were going to a meeting, but he took me to the altar and got down on one knee.” They gushed to Fox News, “We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families,” noting their children—Hannity’s son Sean Jr. and daughter Merri from his marriage to Jill Rhodes, and Earhardt’s daughter Hayden from her marriage to Will Proctor—were thrilled. Now, a baby promises to blend their families further.
The couple’s careers add a layer of complexity to their joy. Hannity, the longest-running cable news host, has anchored Hannity since 2009, earning $25 million annually and boasting a $90 million net worth, per Yahoo Finance. His recent move to Florida, where he owns a $23.5 million Manalapan mansion and a $14.9 million Palm Beach townhouse, reflects his shift from New York. Earhardt, a Fox & Friends staple since 2016, lives in a New York condo and commands $6 million yearly. Their long-distance romance—maintained through weekend trips—has been a testament to their commitment. “We don’t miss a weekend together,” Earhardt said on Fox & Friends in January 2025, adding, “It’s easy because we love each other.” A baby will test their logistics, but insiders say they’re ready.
Hannity shared lighthearted stories about their preparations on his April 22 radio show, The Sean Hannity Show. “Elena’s got the nursery plans, and I’m just trying not to mess up the crib assembly,” he joked, referencing his SoHo loft days with his older kids. He recounted a recent trip to their Florida mansion, where Earhardt was “already eyeing baby-proofing the pool area.” He teased her for researching strollers with the same intensity she brings to Fox & Friends segments. “Ainsley’s got a spreadsheet for diapers like it’s a breaking news story,” he laughed. Fans on X loved the glimpse, posting, “Sean’s gonna be the funniest dad! Ainsley’s running the show, no doubt.”
Earhardt, a proud mom to Hayden, has been open about her motherhood journey, including a miscarriage before Hayden’s 2015 birth. In a Distractify interview, she shared, “Hayden changed my life, and I’m so excited to do this again with Sean.” Sources say she’s leaning on her faith, a cornerstone of their relationship, as they prepare. Hannity, a father of two, is reportedly “smitten” with the idea of a new baby. “Sean’s been telling friends he’s ready for midnight feedings, even at 63,” a Daily Mail insider said. Their shared values—highlighted by their church proposal—shine through, with Earhardt posting on Instagram about “God’s timing” alongside a photo of their blended family.
Colleagues have rallied around them. Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade joked on air, “Ainsley’s gonna need a bigger coffee pot, and Sean’s gonna need a nap.” Laura Ingraham, who congratulated their engagement, posted on X, “Blessings to Sean and Ainsley for their growing family!” Timpf, who welcomed her son Theodore in 2025, sent a onesie with “Future Hannity Guest” embroidered on it, per a U.S. Sun report. Tyrus, a Gutfeld! regular, quipped, “Sean’s kid’s gonna have the best mic skills in preschool.” The support extends to President-elect Donald Trump, who called their engagement “a deal made in HEAVEN!!!” on Truth Social and reportedly sent a note for the baby news, per Times of India.
Their property empire reflects their preparations. Hannity’s Florida mansion, with eight bedrooms and ocean views, is ideal for a growing family, while Earhardt’s New York condo offers a city base. “They’re talking about splitting time so Ainsley can keep Fox & Friends and be with the baby,” a Benzinga source said. Fox News is accommodating, with Earhardt potentially working remotely from Florida at times. Their blended family dynamic—Hannity’s teens and Earhardt’s 9-year-old Hayden—is a priority. “Hayden’s excited to be a big sister,” Earhardt shared in a U.S. Sun video, showing Hayden riding horses and hinting at family bonding in South Carolina.
The couple’s announcement comes as Hannity and Fox & Friends dominate ratings, with Hannity averaging 3.2 million viewers in Q1 2025 and Fox & Friends at 1.8 million. Their personal milestone hasn’t slowed their professional drive, with Hannity covering Trump’s 2025 inauguration and Earhardt tackling immigration debates. Yet, the baby news has softened their public image. On X, a fan wrote, “Sean and Ainsley as parents together? That kid’s gonna be a star!” Another posted, “From church proposal to baby news, they’re living the American dream.”
As they await their child, Hannity and Earhardt’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. From a secret romance to a public engagement, they’ve navigated scrutiny with grace. Now, with a baby on the way, they’re poised to redefine their legacy—not just as Fox News powerhouses but as a family built on love and faith. Whether in Florida’s sunshine or New York’s bustle, their next chapter promises to be their most joyful yet, a testament to the power of partnership and the promise of new beginnings.
