As Fox News anchor Sean Hannity prepares to say “I do” once more — this time to fellow Fox personality Ainsley Earhardt — many are wondering: what happened to his ex-wife, Jill Rhodes?
While Hannity’s new engagement has sparked headlines, it’s also brought renewed curiosity about the woman who shared over two decades of marriage with him, only to step away from the public eye almost completely. So, where is Jill Rhodes now, and what’s she been up to?
From Newsroom to Home Life — and Possibly Back Again
Before becoming known as Sean Hannity’s other half, Jill Rhodes had carved out her own path in media. She worked as a political columnist in Huntsville, Alabama, which is where she met Hannity in the early 1990s. Their shared background in journalism made them a fitting match.
As Hannity’s television career skyrocketed, Rhodes gradually stepped away from journalism. She shifted gears into book editing, and later became a full-time stay-at-home mom after their two children were born. Her retreat from public life was by choice — quiet, intentional, and consistent.
Years later, it was quietly reported that Rhodes may have returned to the workforce — this time in television editing. But as with most things in her life, she kept it under wraps. There was no fanfare, no interviews, and certainly no online trail. It’s still unclear when she began or left that role, and she hasn’t spoken publicly about it since.
Family First — Still Close With Hannity
Though Jill Rhodes has avoided headlines, one aspect of her life remains front and center: her role as a mother. Sources close to the family say Rhodes and Hannity have maintained a strong co-parenting dynamic, often seen at their children’s sporting events and family gatherings.
“They’re great parents,” one insider told Daily Mail. “You wouldn’t even guess they were divorced when you see them together.” That supportive relationship appears to extend into Hannity’s new chapter with Earhardt — reports say Rhodes was among the first to hear about the engagement.
There’s no public drama, no feuds — just two parents focused on their family, even after parting ways.
Romance? Jill’s Keeping It Private
As Hannity steps into a new engagement, some fans have wondered whether Rhodes has moved on romantically as well. But if she has, she’s not sharing it.
There are no sightings, no social media hints, no red carpet appearances. True to form, Jill Rhodes has chosen to keep any new relationships — if they exist — entirely out of view. Her silence may not be flashy, but it speaks volumes.
And in an era when privacy is rare, that might be the most powerful statement she could make.
