Sean Hannity Fox
Fox News host Sean Hannity and his wife, Jill Rhodes, have divorced after more than 20 years of marriage, Page Six has exclusively confirmed.
Hannity, 58, and former journalist Rhodes, 57, were married in 1993 and have two children, a son, Patrick, and a daughter, Merri Kelly.
Friends of the former couple say they have been legally divorced for more than a year and separated many years prior to that, but kept it under wraps.
However, rumors of a split were floating around prior to the COVID-19 pandemic as Rhodes was not seen at various Fox News events alongside Hannity.
When asked for comment, Hannity and Rhodes issued a joint statement to Page Six, which reads, "Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children. Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between Sean and Jill.
"They maintain a close relationship as parents to their children. Neither will have any further comments and ask for the sake of their children that their privacy be respected."
One friend of the former couple, who lived together on Long Island, said their split "is very amicable. Sean and Jill remain on very good terms and still have family dinners, and attend tennis tournaments for their children. Sean is still close with members of Jill's family."
The friend said neither Hannity — the host of "Hannity" on Fox News and of the nationally syndicated talk radio show "The Sean Hannity Show" — nor Rhodes were involved with other people and that "Sean is basically a workaholic."
Hannity once said Rhodes was the brains behind his success as a talk show host and the author of three best-selling books. He dedicated his first book, "Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty Over Liberalism," to her in 2002.

What a Pig! No, that was not a question...
Right, because no couple has ever separated before.
Seems they have been for 4 years; but it took a Covid 19 outbreak for anyone to catch on.
BUSTED!
Again separated for 4 years. So what if he has been dating for months?
It just keeps getting worse for Sean Hannity!
#metoo; except when the accused has a D behind their name.
She will get her day in court. Till then guilty until proven innocent. What the hell am I saying, Hannity has the dreaded R behind his name, in leftist land that makes him guilty of everything and anything no trial needed.
You peaked my curiousity-- when you are referring to "a leftist land"-- what are you referring to?
Certainly not the U.S. as we have a Republican President.
And it seems to me that both Houses of Congress are not controlled by Leftists...
Unless you consider Trump to be a "Leftist"? (Personally I would disagree-- but you are certainly entitled to your opinion..and anyway, I admit I could be wrong...
How do you explain Hannity's extramarital affair with a young lady who works at Fox News? He left his wife and kids for her! That's sleazy as hell by anyone's standards...except Trump!
How So? It all seems pretty straight forward...
This must be news to Mrs Hannity (Susan) and their children since they are still married...
Meh.
I really don't understand what the big deal is here. I divorced my first wife after 34 years of marriage, a no-fault divorce, when our two kids were both well set in their successful careers. So what?
