Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt announced their engagement on Thursday in a statement over the holiday week.

FoxNews.com reported that Hannity, the longtime star of the network’s prime time lineup, proposed to Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt while the two were both on vacation for the holidays. They have been dating for several years.

“Hannity proposed to Earhardt over Christmas at their home church, solidifying their long-term commitment to each other,” the network reported. “The newly engaged couple had the blessing and support from their children, who ‘couldn’t be happier,’ according to the couple.” The report added:

Earhardt and Hannity originally bonded over their deep faith, and the two have placed God first in their relationship, thus rendering the proposal at their home church as the “perfect place” to pop the question, according to the couple. They met with their minister after the engagement.

While the two prefer to keep their private lives out of the spotlight, they have made their long-distance relationship work with weekend trips between New York, where Earhardt is based, and Florida, where Hannity resides. With a mutual respect for each other’s careers, both Hannity and Earhardt have long-term deals to remain at FOX News Media, where Earhardt will continue to co-host “FOX & Friends” from New York while the primetime star will continue to host his eponymous show “Hannity” from Florida.

In a joint statement, the couple said, “We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives.”

Fox News anchor Bret Baier was first to take to X, formerly Twitter, to congratulate the happy couple:

According to a 2020 People magazine report, a source said Hannity and Earhardt had been dating for “years” at that point.
