The longtime Fox News host and his wife, a former journalist, recently confirmed their divorce, marking the end of a relationship that spanned nearly three decades.

In a joint statement, the former couple assured the public that their primary focus remains on their children.

“Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children,” the statement read.

“Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between Sean and Jill. They maintain a close relationship as parents to their children.”

While their divorce is now public knowledge, the split was finalized quietly over a year ago.

Both Hannity and Rhodes emphasized that they would not be making any further comments on the matter and requested privacy, particularly for the sake of their children.

A Long-Standing Relationship Comes to an End

Hannity, 58, and Rhodes, 57, were married in 1993 and share two children: their son, Sean Patrick, and their daughter, Merri Kelly. Throughout their marriage, Rhodes largely remained out of the spotlight while Hannity rose to prominence as one of the most recognizable conservative voices in television news.

Their relationship began long before Hannity became a household name. The couple met while working in journalism, with Rhodes serving as a political columnist. Her background in media, combined with Hannity’s rising career in conservative talk radio, helped form the foundation of their relationship. Over the years, Hannity often credited Rhodes for being an essential part of his success, describing her as his “biggest supporter” during his early career.

Keeping Their Divorce Private

Despite Hannity’s highly public career, he and Rhodes managed to keep the details of their personal lives mostly out of the media. Their decision to finalize their divorce quietly, without public scrutiny, reflects their continued dedication to privacy.

Reports indicate that the couple had been living separately for years before making the split official. According to their statement, they had already reached amicable agreements more than four years ago, suggesting that their relationship had transitioned into a co-parenting partnership well before the divorce was made public.

For a couple that had spent decades together, the separation marks a significant life change. However, they appear to have handled it with mutual respect, prioritizing their children’s well-being over any potential public drama.

Hannity’s Career Continues Amid Personal Changes

While navigating his personal life, Hannity remains one of Fox News’ most influential figures. As the host of Hannity, one of the highest-rated cable news programs, he continues to be a dominant voice in political media. His work has played a crucial role in shaping conservative discourse in the United States, and he maintains a loyal viewership.

Despite his demanding career, Hannity has emphasized the importance of family. His children, Sean Patrick and Merri Kelly, have remained a central part of his life, and both he and Rhodes have reassured the public that their commitment to co-parenting remains steadfast.

What’s Next for Jill Rhodes?

Unlike Hannity, Rhodes has maintained a low profile throughout her life. Though she worked as a journalist early in her career, she stepped back from the industry to focus on family life. It is unclear what her plans are moving forward, but she continues to co-parent with Hannity, ensuring a stable and supportive environment for their children.

A Respectful Ending to a Long Marriage

Divorces in the public eye can often be messy, but Hannity and Rhodes have managed to handle their split with dignity and discretion. Their commitment to privacy and their focus on their children set them apart from many other high-profile breakups.

Though their marriage has ended, both continue to move forward while maintaining a close co-parenting relationship. For Hannity, this marks a new chapter in his life, both personally and professionally. For Rhodes, it is a transition into a new stage of life outside the shadow of a high-profile media career.
