A source close to the couple told DailyMail.com: 'They had only seen each other at the weekend as Ainsley lives in town and Sean was on Long Island, so the only difference now is that they will be traveling by plane instead from by car. back and forth to Long Island.”
The evening TV host revealed his move Tuesday during his iHeartRadio talk show, broadcast live from his Florida studio.
“We are now embarking on our first deployment from my new home, which is in the free state of Florida. I'm leaving. I'm done,' he said.
Hannity cited Republican leadership, lower taxes, warmer weather and New York's political problems as his reasons for making the jump.
“It's clear: This migration from the deep blue states with high taxes, burdensome regulations, high crime and terrible school districts is real,” he said.

“And there isn't a single person I know who has taken a step like that who isn't happy that he took that step.”
Hannity has already spent a lot of time in Florida and had long threatened to move to the Sunshine State, but only revealed on Tuesday that he had finally gone through with it.
