Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt gets candid about long-distance relationship with fiancé Sean Hannity

Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity stunned fans by getting engaged over Christmas – and now the Fox News co-host has confirmed the pair will continue a long-distance romance.

Despite their plans to tie the knot, Ainsley admitted on Fox & Friends on Monday that she plans to continue living in New York with her daughter – while her partner, 63, will continue to live in Florida after seeing the Biggest last year Apple had dumped.

The TV presenter, 48, explained that the pair are working to make time for each other, and “don’t miss a weekend” without being together.

“I’ll stay on the round couch,” she began. ‘I will continue to live in New York.

“My daughter loves her school, I love my community, and of course I love my job.”

She continued, “Sean is in Florida, and we don’t miss a weekend without each other, so we see each other. We make sure it works. It’s easy.’

Recounting how Sean made his surprise proposal during the party break, Ainsley recalled, “I thought we were going to a meeting, and instead we stopped at the church.

‘I said, this is not the right turn. And he said, ‘We’re not going to the meeting.'”

The pair then sat next to each other on the front bench and reflected on their relationship before her partner led her to the altar and got down on one knee.

Gushing over her fiancé, she added, “I respect him so much. I look up to him, he has been there for all of us in our careers.

“We all love him and adore him, and a few years ago we fell in love, and it’s been a beautiful ride. I’m so grateful.’

The couple, dubbed The First Couple of Fox, said they “couldn’t be happier” when they announced their engagement on December 27.

For Ainsley, it’s been a tough road to finding her happy ending, as she endured two failed marriages before meeting Sean, including one that was plagued by rumors of infidelity.

Her first marriage to college sweetheart Kevin McKinney started off as a fairytale.

They met while attending the University of South Carolina and eventually married in 2005 in a lavish ceremony at the governor’s mansion with eleven bridesmaids and eleven groomsmen.

They later moved to San Antonio, Texas, so Ainsley could work as a morning news anchor for KENS-TV, before moving to New York City in 2007 when she joined Fox News.

She quickly became a rising star at the network, not only as co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend, but also with her own segment on future fiancée Hannity’s self-titled program.

After joining Fox in 2007 and seeing her career skyrocket, she quietly divorced Kevin in 2009.

Neither has said much about the split, and the host found love with former Clemson Tigers quarterback Will Proctor, who was eight years her junior, and they married in 2012.

They tried for a baby for about a year and suffered a tragic miscarriage along the way, but eventually welcomed daughter Hayden in 2015.

Just three years after becoming parents, the couple split in 2018 amid rumors of infidelity.

Vanity fair later revealed in 2020 that the author had found love again with Fox News royalty Hannity.

It’s unclear exactly how long they had been dating at the time, but multiple sources told Vanity Fair that they had been together for “quite some time.”

The couple, dubbed ‘The First Couple of Fox’, said they ‘couldn’t be happier’ when they announced their engagement on December 27.

DailyMail.com then exclusively shared the first photos of the couple in April 2023.

In a statement after their engagement, the couple said: “We are overjoyed and so grateful to our families for all their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.”

They kept the details of the proposal private, except to say that he proposed in their “home church” and that it was the “perfect place” as they bonded over their deep faith and had “put God first in their relationship.’
