Sean Hannity quietly divorced his wife after more than 20 years together
Sean Hannity has become one of the most influential people on television, hosting his own show, Hannity, on Fox News. The long-time television and radio personality has worked in the media for decades. However, not much is known about his private life.
Hannity and his wife Jill Rhodes divorced in 2019 after more than 20 years of marriage. However, reports claimed that he found a new girlfriend shortly after, and she might look familiar to you.
And even though it might be true, both Sean Hannity and his rumored girlfriend are lying low about it. Here’s all you need to know!
From a young age, pretty much all of us have some idea about what we want to do when we grow up. Some want to be a police officer, others an astronaut, or maybe a professional athlete, singer, or dancer.
Even though we might have the dream – and should continuously pursue it – it doesn’t always end up like that. And for some, it just takes a lot of time to get there, resulting from the fact that you should never stop dreaming.
For Sean Hannity, that was the case. As a young child, he started his first job in media, delivering papers. It might not have been the most significant, most prominent work, but nonetheless important.
Sean Hannity – from paperboy to Fox host
t took many years before Hannity went into the media business. And now, he’s become a multimillionaire through his shows, both on television and the radio.
At the same time as Hannity has become a public figure – and reportedly one of Donald Trump’s closest friends – not much is known about his private life.
Hannity has chosen to be restrictive with his life outside the spotlight, but reports about his latest romance are out.
On December 30, 1961, Sean Hannity was born in New York City. His parents, Hugh and Lillian, were first-generation Irish immigrants. He grew up in the Long Island suburb of Franklin Square.
Hannity’s father worked as an officer in the family court system, and his mother as a corrections officer. As a youngster, he attended Catholic school – and in fact, he started his career in the media business very early. At 8, Sean Hannity pedaled around in Long Island as a newspaper delivery boy, and four years later, he started working on several restaurants.
First job in radio
The youngest child and only son of first-generation Irish immigrants Hugh and Lillian, Hannity grew up in Franklin Square, a Long Island suburb of New York. Both of Hannity’s parents worked in the justice system: Lillian as a corrections officer and court stenographer and Hugh as an officer in New York City’s family court system.
Hannity graduated from high school in Uniondale, New York, and continued to work at restaurants to save money for college. He first attended Adelphi University on Long Island before switching to both New York University and the University of California Santa Barbara. However, he never graduated from college.
The money had run out along the way, and Hannity turned to work in the construction industry.
“It was 20 years of my life I did really hard work,” he told the NY Post. “I never forget that I’ve done the real work in life and know how hard things really can be.”
After leaving college, Sean Hannity started his career in media. Today, there are very different opinions on him and his views, which is entirely normal when it comes to his job as a political commentator.
However, as he began his career in radio, Hannity became quite controversial after just a year.
Sean Hannity – become a political commentator
Sean has had a fascination with radio since he was a young kid. He began hosting his first radio talk show in 1989 on the college radio station KCSB FM in Santa Barbara. However, they took him off the air a year later due to a controversial remark about a lesbian mother.
So instead of staying in California, Hannity moved to Alabama, where he was employed at the conservative AM station WVNN in Athens. Later, he worked at the radio station WGST in Atlanta.
But being a politically conservative radio commentator wasn’t the easiest thing. As a result, Hannity felt that he had some problems finding his voice.
