Tucker Carlson’s wife was spotted taking her dog for a walk a day after the great news that her husband was booted by Fox News after 14 years on the air.
Susan Andrews Carlson, 53, wore a pink and white bandeau top on Tuesday with a white and blue striped towel wrapped tightly around her waist. She protected her skin by wearing a big floppy hat while walking her dogs on the beach at their multi-million dollar home in Florida.
She was accompanied by a friend when the two appeared to be in conversation as they crossed the sandy beach.
Her husband of 32, who was reportedly “blindsided” by news of his firing on Monday, was not in tow on her walk.
Carlson and his wife met at a boarding school in Rhode Island and he proposed to her in his senior year of college and married in 1991. They share four children together: Buckley, Dorothy, Lillie, and Hopie.

They raised their children in Virginia, before buying real estate in Washington DC – which has since been sold after protesters showed up at their door in 2018, and in Maine and Florida. In 2023, they bought a $5.5 million home on Gasparilla Island in Boca Grande, Florida, and the adjoining property for $2.9 million.
Buckley went into government service, working as an intern at the White House during the Donald Trump administration and as a staffer for Jim Banks in Indiana.
The dazzled Fox megastar was caught telling viewers, “We’ll be back on Monday,” before signing off on Friday night.
Her husband, Tucker (pictured on his last show on Friday), was fired from Fox News on Monday after 14 years on the network.
Tucker Carlson, who earned more than $20 million annually for his prime-time work on Fox News, was kicked out of the major news network by owner Rupert Murdoch.
Murdoch axed the 53-year-old from his show Tucker Carlson Tonight just days after the network spent $787.5 million to settle a defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion — the company behind the systems voters had used in voting. the last presidential election.
While insiders say the lawsuit was pivotal to his firing, Murdoch is said to have been concerned about Carlson’s public embrace of the idea that the January 6, 2021 attack on Congress was initiated by the administration.
Analysts also suggest that his continued use of the word “c**t” may have played a role in his dismissal from the network.
Carlson wasn’t told why he was being fired when he received a call Monday from Fox CEO Suzanne Scott, who reportedly just told him the decision was made “from above.” But insiders claim that Lachlan Murdoch made the ruling Friday night.
He was impeached in part because network executives were angry at his bitter criticism of them after the 2020 presidential election, according to The Wall Street Journal — which, like Fox, is owned by Murdoch.

Carlson divided opinion — and drew fierce criticism from the left — while on air with his polemic on everything from the 2020 presidential election to the Black Lives Matter movement.
But he wasn’t always known as a divisive right-wing pyre.
His career, which began in the mid-1990s, has included work for a wide variety of publications, including a long stint at CNN, and he is also the author of several books.
As a print journalist, he wrote for publications such as The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal and Esquire. But at the time, there were limits to who he was willing to work for.
In 1999, Carlson recounted how he had feared he would be “written off as a wing nut” if he joined The American Spectator, a conservative magazine.
His TV hiatus came in 2000 when he joined CNN and co-hosted The Spin Room.
Carlson was recognizable by his signature bow tie. He began wearing the tie in 1984 when he was a prep school student — only dropping it in the 2000s after a stranger who disagreed with the clothing yelled “obscenities” at him as he walked through New York’s Penn Station. York walked.

In 2004, while hosting Crossfire on CNN, Carlson was challenged by comedian and commentator Jon Stewart during a segment that is regularly dug up by Carlson’s critics.
Stewart accused the show and its hosts of “hurting America” and mocked Carlson for his bow tie. “You’re doing theatre, when you should be doing debate, which would be great,” he said. “What you’re doing isn’t fair. What you’re doing is partisan hacking.’
Stewart also said that Carlson should go to journalism school. Crossfire was abolished several months later.
Carlson also spent three years at MSNBC and appeared on Dancing with the Stars in 2006 before joining Fox News in 2009.
It was here that Carlson became a household name through Tucker Carlson Tonight, which became the network’s flagship show and was often the top-rated show on cable news TV. In 2022, it averaged about 3.3 million viewers per show.
