Ainsley Earhardt beams as she opens up about married life with Sean Hannity days after lavish wedding

Ainsley Earhardt has opened up about her marriage to Sean Hannity three days after their lavish wedding, and revealed whether or not she will take his last name.

Fox News stars Earhardt, 50, and Hannity, 64, wed in Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday and beamed with evident happiness in photos first obtained by the Daily Mail. 

Just three days later on Tuesday, Earhardt returned to Fox & Friends, and she beamed as she spoke out about married life for the first time.

She announced that she was ‘so proud to be Mrs Hannity’ after co-host Lawrence Jones asked her whether she’d be taking her new husband’s last name.

‘We have talked about it, I will take his last name for my personal life. I am so proud to be Mrs Hannity,’ she said.

‘I have pretty much signed every text people have sent me, love Mrs Hannity.’

However, she explained that publicly, she still plans to go by Ainsley Earhardt.

‘For TV, I think at Fox, there is room for only one Hannity,’ she continued. ‘So I think I will be Ainsley Earhardt forever on TV.’

While discussing the wedding, she gushed: ‘We had a blast. Everyone in that room has supported us. 

‘We were there with so many people from Fox, so many family members, so many friends, it was everyone in one room that we love most. It was just so special.’

The cable news favorites said ‘I do’ over the weekend at the storied Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, after a near-two-year engagement. 

Earhardt walked down the aisle in a stunning Oscar de la Renta gown surrounded by family, friends and some of the biggest names in politics and entertainment. 

The nuptials continued Saturday evening with a lavish reception at the nearby Everglades Club, an elite members-only haunt that guards its exclusivity so fiercely that patrons are barred from bringing cell phones onto the premises. 

Guests included President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Susie Wiles, Eric and Lara Trump, casino mogul Steve Wynn, former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and country music icon Lee Greenwood, all toasting the smitten couple with champagne and cocktails. 

A huge Fox News contingent included Earhardt’s Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy, Jones and Brian Kilmeade, plus Laura Ingraham, Bret Baier, newly-minted Fox News contributor Karoline Leavitt, CEO Suzanne Scott and network president and executive editor Jay Wallace. 

The wedding weekend had kicked off Friday night with a VIP party at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate attended by the President and First Lady Melania Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. 

‘My heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy,’ Earhardt said in a statement released via Fox News.

‘To celebrate this beautiful season of our lives surrounded by the people we love most is truly a dream come true.

‘God has blessed us in more ways than we could ever imagine, and I am so thankful that He brought Sean and me together.’

Hannity, a close ally of the President and leading conservative media figure, added: ‘Ainsley is an incredible person and I couldn’t be happier or more grateful that God brought us together.

‘Faith, family and friendship are what matter most in life and having so many people we love and care about together to celebrate this moment means the world to us.’ 

The two broadcasters were Fox colleagues and best friends until the relationship blossomed, according to a network insider. 

Hannity did his best to keep their budding romance off the front pages but the Daily Mail broke the news in a 2023 exclusive, publishing photos of the pair cuddling up in a Waffle House. 

The loved-up TV host popped the question at his home church over Christmas 2024, describing it as the ‘perfect place’ to propose to Earhardt.
