Fox News' Ainsley Earhardt reveals she and Sean Hannity will live in separate states after marriage
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News stars Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity may be preparing to walk down the aisle, but they’re not planning to walk the same daily path literally.
In a refreshingly candid interview, Earhardt confirmed the soon-to-be-married pair will continue living in separate states, even after they say “I do.”
Ainsley Earhardt opens up about an unconventional future with Sean Hannity
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 following over four years of dating, have crafted a bi-state routine that works for them and Ainsley Earhardt’s nine-year-old daughter, Hayden.
Earhardt has now revealed that she and Hannity plan to maintain their unconventional living situation even after tying the knot. In the interview, she acknowledged that while their long-distance setup isn’t exactly traditional, it works well for them especially when it comes to co-parenting her nine-year-old daughter, Hayden, whose father resides in Manhattan.
Hannity, 63, left New York for Florida last year. Earhardt, 48, remains based in Manhattan to host 'Fox & Friends', a position she’s held since her late twenties.
“It’s not conventional. We live on opposite ends of the East Coast, but when you love someone, you make it work,” Earhardt told the Daily Mail. “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.”
Earhardt shared that their routine includes her and daughter Hayden flying to Palm Beach every Friday after school. They spend the weekend at Hannity’s picturesque waterfront townhouse, enjoying time as a family, before heading back to New York on Sunday afternoon following church services.
Hannity owns multiple Palm Beach properties, including two adjacent townhouses and a $23.5 million mansion in Manalapan. Though he recently listed the latter for rent at $130,000 per month, he maintains residency in the others.
Meanwhile, Earhardt lives in a luxurious Manhattan apartment described as “a set of HBO’s 'The Gilded Age'" with Hayden and their dog, Rosie Tiny Buttercup.
Earhardt highlighted that this balance was made possible through her financial independence, which she relied on following her split from ex-husband Will Proctor.
“I had my own financial support. I was able to take care of myself,” she said, adding, “I had a baby, and I wanted her to be in a happy home, not just one I stayed in because we were married.”
Ainsley Earhardt confirms she and Sean Hannity will sign a prenup before marriage
Ainsley Earhardt also confirmed that she and Sean Hannity will sign a prenuptial agreement before their marriage, citing her past experience as a driving factor.
While she declined to share specifics, both are entering the marriage with considerable assets, particularly Hannity, whose real estate holdings and long-standing media career have made him one of Fox News’ wealthiest personalities.
Hannity, for his part, appears content in his new Florida lifestyle.
He revealed during a broadcast of his radio show that he had permanently left New York due to political differences.
“I’ve been threatening now to do this for quite a while, but we are now beginning our first broadcast from my new home, and that is in the free state of Florida,” he said. “I am out. I am done. I’m finished.”
He continued, “Finally, for the first time that I can think of in my adult life, I actually have representatives in the state that I’m living in that share my values. Like so many Americans, I left New York for good and am now in the state with, let’s see, warmer weather, law and order, better education, more freedom, better quality of life — and guess what? No state income tax.”
He relocated to Florida just months after selling his Centre Island mansion for an impressive $12.7 million. The home, which first hit the market in May 2024 with a $13.75 million price tag, ultimately closed for slightly less but still marked a major sale.
