Engaged Fox News stars Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt aren’t letting distance get in the way of their romance—or their professional collaborations, proving that absence really can make all the difference in a relationship, when they teamed up for an on-air broadcast on Friday morning.

Hannity, 63, who relocated to Florida from New York back in January, joined his fiancée and her co-hosts on “Fox & Friends” via video link in order to discuss the Democratic party’s all-time low approval ratings—however, he and Earhardt, 48, also found time to have a much more light-hearted conversation about their romantic dynamic.

Having engaged in a very heated discussion about the Democratic party—and the impact on New York City should Zohran Mamdani be elected mayor—Hannity, Earhardt, and the other “Fox & Friends” hosts turned their attention to an upcoming Fox Nation special about some of America’s most notorious criminals.

Hosted by Hannity, the series, titled “Wanted: Dead or Alive,” will “tackle the stories of the infamous John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Baby Face Nelson, and Ma Barker,” according to a press release shared by Fox News.

Yet Hannity was quick to insist that, despite his many Fox News projects and his large fan base, he is not the real “celebrity” in the relationship, claiming that Earhardt’s star has risen far beyond his own.

“We do have one other show on Fox Nation, ‘Punchlines and Patriots’ … and I discuss during that show how hard it is to be engaged to a celebrity,” he said, sparking a furious debate with Earhardt over who the true “celebrity” in their relationship really is.

“Trust me, everyone—I am not the celebrity,” the mother of one fired back at her fiancé, who popped the question to her in Palm Beach just a few days before Christmas. “This guy right here, everywhere we go, people stop him.”

“That’s not true!” Hannity retorted, while Earhardt’s co-host, Lawrence Jones, jokingly told the couple to “just get a room.”

Earhardt noted that she doesn’t mind Hannity having such an impressive public profile, telling him: “I’m so proud of you, I love it.”

However, her partner would not let up his fight, claiming that while he might once have been the most famous of the duo, things have since changed.

“It used to be people would say, ‘Sean Hannity!’ and then all of a sudden [it was], ‘Oh Ainsley! Hey mister, can you take a picture of me and Ainsley?’ I’m now a photographer,” Hannity joked, before ending his appearance by voicing his fondness for his fiancée’s morning show.
One thing the couple did not discuss, however, is whether Earhardt was planning to jet down to join Hannity at his Palm Beach property soon after the show wrapped—having previously revealed that they were spending every weekend together in the Sunshine State, while living separately during the week.

Earhardt and Hannity revealed in December that they were engaged, just over four years after they went on their first date, with the iHeart radio host popping the question on bended knee inside their Palm Beach church just a few days before Christmas.

At the time, Hannity was living full time in his residence in the tony Florida enclave—while Earhardt was still in Manhattan, not far from the Fox News studio where she films her hit morning show.
Earlier this month, Earhardt confirmed that the pair will continue that unique living arrangement even after they marry, admitting that while their long-distance relationship might not be the most “conventional,” they have found that it’s the best setup for the two of them, as well as her 9-year-old daughter, Hayden, whose father lives in Manhattan.

The “Fox & Friends” star, who began working for the network when she was 29, explained that she and Hannity have an arrangement that allows both of them to continue pursuing their on-screen careers—without sacrificing the quality time they spend together.

She told the Daily Mail that the setup involves her and Hayden flying down to Palm Beach every Friday after the youngster finishes school, spending the weekend with Hannity at his stunning waterfront townhouse, and then returning to the Big Apple on Sunday afternoon after church.

“It’s not conventional. We live on opposite ends of the East Coast, but when you love someone, you make it work,” she said. “I love my time with Sean in Palm Beach. We always do a family brunch after church on Sunday, and then Hayden and I fly back. I love my New York life, too.”

When the TV host and her daughter are in Florida, they stay with Hannity in one of his many homes—including a $23.5 million Manalapan mansion as well as two adjacent townhouses in Palm Beach, one of which he purchased for $5.3 million in 2021, while the other he snapped up in January for $14.9 million.

The “Hannity” star purchased his Manalapan dwelling just a few weeks before buying his second Palm Beach residence. However, he listed the megamansion for rent in June of this year, with a sky-high price of $130,000 a month, suggesting that he bought the dwelling as an investment property.

Meanwhile, Earhardt, who shares her daughter with her ex-husband, Will Proctor, resides in a lavish New York City apartment, which the Daily Mail described as being akin to “a set of HBO’s ‘The Gilded Age’” thanks to its incredibly luxurious design.

The on-screen star lives in the home with her daughter and their dog, Rosie Tiny Buttercup, with Hayden splitting her time between her mother’s apartment and her father’s.
