Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt were married on Saturday, October 24, at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida — the church where the couple got engaged — Fox News reported. People and TMZ carried the wedding in their Sunday coverage. The ceremony was followed by a private reception at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach.
“Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude,” the couple told Fox News. Fox News reported the details of the day it carried: Earhardt wore a gown by Oscar de la Renta, and Hannity wore a white tuxedo jacket. The reception at the Everglades Club was private, the reports said, following the ceremony at the church in Palm Beach where the two had become engaged.
People published a list of guests it reported at the wedding. It named Susie Wiles; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; Mike Waltz; Lara Trump and Eric Trump; and Karoline Leavitt among those in attendance. The guest list People published was drawn from its reporting on the event; Fox News’s own report, which the other outlets relied on for the ceremony details, centered on the couple and the day itself.
The President and the First Lady appear in the weekend’s coverage in two ways, and the accounts are not the same. TMZ’s coverage emphasized the Trumps in connection with the couple’s party at Mar-a-Lago. The Hill and TMZ, as carried by People, reported something more specific: President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the couple’s rehearsal dinner at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night, and did not attend the wedding itself on Saturday. Both versions are printed here because the outlets’ emphases differ — TMZ’s framing of the Trumps at the couple’s Mar-a-Lago party, and the rehearsal-dinner account, reported by The Hill and TMZ via People, that places the Trumps at Mar-a-Lago on Friday and not at the church on Saturday.
Hannity is the host of “Hannity” on Fox News, and Earhardt is a co-host of “Fox & Friends.” The wedding was held at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, the same church where the couple got engaged, and the reception followed at the Everglades Club, also in Palm Beach.
The reports published on Sunday by People and TMZ rested on Fox News’s account of the ceremony, the couple’s statement to Fox News, and People’s guest list. Fox News reported the marriage, the church, the reception, the couple’s words and the clothing: Oscar de la Renta for the bride, a white tuxedo jacket for Hannity. The only comment from the couple in any of the reports is the statement they gave to Fox News: “Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude.”
