Fox News hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity gathered family, friends and colleagues at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Friday to celebrate their upcoming wedding. The pre-wedding event marked a milestone for the couple following their engagement announcement in December 2024.
Earhardt, who co-hosts the network's "FOX & Friends," and Hannity, host of "Hannity" and the podcast "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," detailed their gratitude for the evening in separate statements. Earhardt described the experience as a dream come true, noting that God had brought them together and that their families and friends mean the world to them. Hannity echoed this sentiment, stating that faith, family and friendship matter most in life and expressing how much it meant to have loved ones present for the celebration.
The guest list included high-profile figures from politics, media and entertainment. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News President Jay Wallace attended alongside Earhardt's "FOX & Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were present. They were joined by Eric Trump and Lara Trump, Marco Rubio alongside his wife Jeanette, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. with his wife Cheryl Hines, Tim Scott, Darline Graham and Jeanine Pirro.
Other attendees included ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, country music artist Lee Greenwood, podcast host Sage Steele, television personality Jillian Michaels and Steve and Andrea Wynn. Hannity addressed the presence of the Trump family directly, noting a personal relationship with the president spanning over 30 years. He confirmed that the couple chose Mar-a-Lago for the celebration and paid fair market value for the venue, expressing gratitude that the president and first lady could join them.
The couple's professional histories are deeply rooted in Fox News. Earhardt joined the network in 2007 and became a co-host of "FOX & Friends" in 2016. Hannity has been with the channel since its launch in 1996. Their engagement was announced after Hannity proposed over Christmas at their home church in Florida. The gathering served as a final prelude to their wedding ceremony.
