There had been rumors the pair have been dating for a few years and that Ainsley films her show some days from Hannity’s house.
According to the Daily Mail, Hannity has a studio in his Long Island mansion where he films his show and radio show. A source close to the couple stated: “They are extremely happy together and have been for a while.”
“It’s not a surprise to anyone who knows them, but they’re very private people and prefer to keep their personal life private and lowkey. They started out as best friends and the relationship evolved over time,” the source noted further, according to the DM.
“He’s a generous and kind guy and she is just an incredibly wonderful person. They’re a really sweet couple with so much love for each other,” the sourc continued. “Sean adores Ainsley’s daughter Hayden.
“Ainsley and Sean are genuine, lovely people who are both truly beloved at Fox News, so everyone at the network has been happy for them for a while. Sean was there for Ainsley through her mother’s illness last fall (she died in October 2022) and was by her side picking up all the pieces – she leaned on him during some extraordinarily difficult times,” the source added.
When they were asked to respond to the rumor the two were dating in June 2020, Hannity refused to comment and Earhardt denied she was dating anyone at all.
“Right now I am focused on raising my daughter and I am not dating anyone,” she said in a statement at the time. “As anyone at FOX News will tell you, Sean is a wonderful person and whomever he chooses to date will be extremely fortunate.”
