Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt Hold Pre-Wedding Dinner at Mar-a-Lago with President Trump

Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt, both prominent Fox News personalities, held a rehearsal dinner on Friday evening at Mar-a-Lago ahead of their Saturday wedding. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were present, along with senior administration officials and senior Fox News staff, according to sources.

Trump, after speaking with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis earlier in the day, told reporters, "We’re gonna go over and celebrate with Sean Hannity and Ainsley at Mar-a-Lago. They’re doing a big, beautiful thing."

The couple, described by Fox as the "first couple of Fox News," announced their engagement in December 2024. Trump posted on Truth Social at the time, "Great news about Sean and Ainsley. They are officially engaged to be married! There are no finer people than these, and there will be no finer couple."

Hannity said in a Fox-issued statement, "I’ve had a personal relationship with President Trump for over 30 years. 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."

Earhardt added, "To celebrate this beautiful season of our lives surrounded by the people we love most is truly a dream come true."

The rehearsal dinner list included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Senators Tim Scott and Darline Graham, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, Fox News president and executive editor Jay Wallace, and Earhardt’s co-hosts from the morning show. Hannity said the venue was paid for at fair market value. CNN has sought comment from the Trump Organization regarding the arrangement.
