Fox News hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity celebrated their upcoming wedding on Friday with a gathering of family, close friends and longtime colleagues at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.

The pre-wedding festivities brought together loved ones from different chapters of their lives for a special evening honoring the couple.

"My heart is overflowing with gratitude and joy," Earhardt said. "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. Our families, our children and our precious friends mean the world to us and sharing this moment with them makes it even more meaningful. We are so excited for this next chapter and know that the very best is yet to come."

Earhardt, co-host of the network's top-rated morning program "FOX & Friends" and Hannity, the host of FOX News Channel's "Hannity" and podcast "Hang Out with Sean Hannity," announced their engagement in December 2024 after Hannity proposed over Christmas at their home church in Florida.

"Ainsley is an incredible person and I couldn't be happier or more grateful that God brought us together," Hannity said. "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. We are incredibly blessed and I can't thank everyone enough for being part of such a special evening."

Among those celebrating were Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and FOX News President and Executive Editor Jay Wallace as well as Earhardt's fellow "FOX & Friends" co-hosts Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones and Brian Kilmeade, along with numerous other Fox News personalities.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were also in attendance, along with Eric and Lara Trump, 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, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, among others.

"I've had a personal relationship with President Trump for over 30 years," Hannity said. "When Ainsley and I began planning this celebration, it was important to us that he could be part of this special time in our lives. We chose to host a party at Mar-a-Lago and paid fair market value for the venue. We are grateful that he and Melania could celebrate alongside our families and friends." 

Other guests included longtime friends of the couple, including ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, country music legend Lee Greenwood, podcast host Sage Steele, television personality Jillian Michaels and Steve and Andrea Wynn.

Both Earhardt and Hannity have longstanding careers at Fox News. Earhardt joined in 2007 and became a co-host of "FOX & Friends" in 2016 while Hannity has been with the network since its launch in 1996.

The evening reflected the importance of faith, friendship and the relationships the couple has built over the years as they look forward to exchanging vows.
