On a Friday evening at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, two familiar faces of Fox News, Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity, gathered family, friends and colleagues to mark the season before their vows. It is the kind of threshold moment that people have always marked with a shared table, where a private love meets a public life. Their chosen setting, and the company they kept there, reveals how closely their personal story is woven into the institutions and friendships around them.
Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity Celebrate Upcoming Wedding With Family, Friends and Trump at Mar-a-Lago
They chose Mar-a-Lago and, Hannity says, paid fair market value
Mark
Why does a party for two TV hosts draw this kind of guest list?
Mimi
Because both have been at Fox for decades. Hannity since the 1996 launch, Earhardt since 2007. Executives, co-hosts and the president all show up in the same room.
Mark
The president was there. Is that the main point?
Mimi
It's the detail Hannity chose to address himself. He said he has known Trump for over 30 years and wanted him present.
Luke
Worth noting that the venue payment is Hannity's own statement. The reporting doesn't include any document or confirmation from Mar-a-Lago.
Mark
So what does fair market value actually mean here?
Luke
We don't know. No figure was given, and no one explained how the rate was set.
Mimi
What is on the record is the guest list: Rubio, Kennedy, Sen. Tim Scott, Jeanine Pirro, and others.
Mark
And the wedding?
Luke
Still upcoming. No date or location for the ceremony appears in the reporting.
Mimi
The couple's own words stress faith, family and friendship, and Earhardt says the best is yet to come.
Il Polso
- A pre-wedding celebration at Mar-a-Lago drew a crowd that blurred the line between the couple's newsroom world and their private circle.
- The presence of President Trump, cabinet members and network leadership turned a personal milestone into a gathering of notable public figures.
- Hannity moved quickly to address the venue question, stressing a decades-long friendship with Trump and that the couple paid fair market value.
- The vows are still ahead with no date announced, so the story rests on anticipation rather than a closing ceremony.

On Friday evening at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, Fox News hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity held a pre-wedding celebration with family, close friends and longtime colleagues. The evening was meant to honor them before their vows, which have not yet taken place. Earhardt co-hosts the network's top-rated morning show, "FOX & Friends," while Hannity anchors his evening program and hosts a podcast. They announced their engagement in December 2024, after Hannity proposed at their home church in Florida.
Both spoke warmly afterward. Earhardt described celebrating among the people she loves most as a dream come true and said she was grateful God had brought them together. Hannity called her an incredible person and said faith, family and friendship matter most.
The guest list blended their professional and personal worlds. Network leaders, the "FOX & Friends" co-hosts and many on-air personalities attended, alongside President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, and several cabinet officials including Marco Rubio and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Friends from outside the newsroom, including Stephen A. Smith and Lee Greenwood, were also there.
Hannity addressed the choice of venue directly. He said he has known Trump for more than thirty years, and that it mattered to them that the president be part of the occasion. He said they paid fair market value for the venue. The wedding itself has no date in the reporting, and the best, as Earhardt put it, is still to come.
On Friday evening at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, Fox News hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity held a pre-wedding celebration with family, close friends and longtime colleagues. The gathering was meant to honor the couple ahead of their vows, which have not yet taken place.
Earhardt co-hosts the network's top-rated morning program, "FOX & Friends," and Hannity hosts "Hannity" on FOX News Channel as well as the podcast "Hang Out with Sean Hannity." They announced their engagement in December 2024, after Hannity proposed over Christmas at their home church in Florida.
Both released statements about the evening. Earhardt said her heart was overflowing with gratitude and joy, and described celebrating this season of life among the people she loves most as a dream come true. She said she was thankful God had brought her and Hannity together, that their families, children and friends mean the world to them, and that the best is yet to come. Hannity called Earhardt an incredible person, said faith, family and friendship matter most in life, and thanked everyone for taking part.
The guest list blended the couple's professional and personal worlds. Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace attended, as did Earhardt's "FOX & Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade, along with numerous other network personalities.
President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were also there, joined by Eric and Lara Trump. Other attendees from government included Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his wife, Jeanette; Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines; Sen. Tim Scott; Sen. Darline Graham, as the source spells the name; and Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. The source says there were others as well.
Hannity addressed the choice of venue directly. He said he has had a personal relationship with Trump for more than 30 years, and that when he and Earhardt began planning, it was important to them that the president be part of the occasion. They chose to host at Mar-a-Lago, he said, and paid fair market value for the venue.
Other friends of the couple on the list included ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, country music singer Lee Greenwood, podcast host Sage Steele, television personality Jillian Michaels, and Steve and Andrea Wynn.
Both hosts have long careers at the network. Hannity has been at Fox News since its launch in 1996. Earhardt joined in 2007 and became a co-host of "FOX & Friends" in 2016. The wedding itself is still ahead, and no date was given in the reporting.
