Fox News personalities Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt gathered with family, friends, and a who's who of political figures Friday evening for their wedding rehearsal dinner at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
President Trump and first lady Melania Trump were among the attendees, according to Fox News. The guest list also included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Senators Tim Scott and Darline Graham of South Carolina, and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. Several of Hannity's and Earhardt's Fox News colleagues were also present.
The president is expected to attend the couple's wedding ceremony on Saturday, which will be held at a separate, undisclosed location.
Hannity, who has hosted the network's 9 p.m. program since 2009, said in a statement that his relationship with Trump spans more than three decades. "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," he said.
The couple chose Mar-a-Lago as the venue for the rehearsal dinner and paid "fair market value" for the space, Hannity added. "We are grateful that he and Melania could celebrate alongside our families and friends," he said.
Hannity and Earhardt, who has co-hosted Fox & Friends since 2016, were dubbed the "first couple of Fox News" when their relationship became public in 2020. They announced their engagement in December 2024.
This is not the first time a prominent Fox News figure has tied wedding plans to Trump properties. In 2019, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, then a Fox host, married his producer at Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck, New Jersey, with Trump and Hannity in attendance.
The event underscores the deep ties between Trump and influential media personalities, a relationship that has drawn scrutiny from critics who question the blurring of lines between journalism and political access. For Hannity, a longtime Trump ally, the celebration at Mar-a-Lago is the latest example of their close personal and professional bond.
As the couple begins their married life, the presence of senior administration officials at their rehearsal dinner highlights the continued interplay between conservative media and the Trump political orbit.
