Trump's Gushing Over Ainsley Earhardt & Sean Hannity Romance Sparks Fox & Friends Frenzy!

Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence B. Jones and Charles Hurt had been hosting the commander-in-chief on Tuesday's Fox & Friends when he suddenly brought up the former's relationship with her longtime colleague

FOX & FRIENDS SENSATION: Trump's Unhinged Praise for Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity's Romance Leaves Co-Hosts Red-Faced

In a jaw-dropping moment that left viewers stunned, President Donald Trump couldn't resist gushing over the personal lives of Fox & Friends co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity during a live interview on Tuesday morning. The Commander-in-Chief, calling in from Washington, D.C., used his recent federal takeover of the municipality as a segue to discuss Earhardt's romance with her colleague.

"I've made Washington, D.C. an incredible place in just four days," Trump began, before launching into a bizarre tangent about Earhardt and Hannity's relationship. "There's a guy named Sean Hannity - he might take a very lovely young lady he knows very, very well to dinner in Washington, and she's sitting right next to you by the way," he said with a sly grin, as Earhardt smiled, laughed, and rolled her eyes.

The pair have been dating since 2019 and recently got engaged. Trump repeatedly called their relationship 'great' - as the hosts tried to get the segment back on track

But Trump wasn't finished yet. "I don't want to get him in trouble, so we better explain exactly," he joked, before gushing over the couple's romance. "This is the greatest relationship. I hope I'm not breaking any news." The President's comments left his co-hosts Lawrence B. Jones and Charles Hurt looking uncomfortable, but Trump continued to lavish praise on the pair.

"Those are two great people - Ainsley and Sean - great people," he said, before speculating about their salaries. "I want to know who is making more money. She has to be making a lot." Hannity, 63, is reportedly one of the network's best-paid stars, earning a whopping $25 million per year, according to Forbes. Earhardt's salary is unknown, but it's likely in the millions.

As Trump continued to fawn over the couple, Jones attempted to steer the conversation back on track, citing Trump's conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several other European heads of state at the White House on Monday. "Mr. President, we're so happy. But on a serious note, when you have those world leaders, this is a topic of conversation for the whole world," Jones said, trying to get Trump back on message.

'There's a guy named Sean Hannity - he might take a very lovely young lady he knows very, very well to dinner in Washington, and they don't have to - and she's sitting right next you by the way,' Trump said at a point, before speculating about both Hannity and Earhardt's salaries

But Trump couldn't resist bringing up Earhardt and Hannity's romance one more time, even as Hurt tried to bring the interview to a close. "President Trump, thank you for joining us - we know you have lots of other wars you need to end and that is more important than anything," he said with a smile, as Earhardt and Jones stayed serious.

The President's comments left many wondering about the nature of their relationship. In December, Hannity and Earhardt announced their engagement, after years of denying rumors about their romance. Both have worked at the network for decades - Hannity since 1996 and Earhardt since 2007 - with Hannity hosting his popular show, The Sean Hannity Show, since 2009.

As the interview finally came to a close, Trump seemed oblivious to the awkwardness he had caused. "Great couple, I will say it," he said, shrugging off any secondhand embarrassment. "It's a great couple. Have a good time everybody."

Hannity, 63, and Earhardt, 48, denied their relationship initially, but recently announced their engagement in December. Both have worked at the network for decades, with Hannity stating there in 1996. The two have dated for five years

The Scholary Note revealed in December that Hannity and Earhardt were secretly dating, sparking widespread attention from fans of the popular morning show. Their engagement was seen as a long-overdue acknowledgment of their romance, which had been speculated about for years.

Trump's praise for the couple has left many wondering if his comments were more than just innocuous enthusiasm. "It's clear that Trump is not just a fan of the couple," said a source close to the network. "He's genuinely invested in their relationship and sees them as an extension of himself."

As the drama surrounding Hannity and Earhardt continues to unfold, one thing is certain: their romance has become the stuff of tabloid legend. Will they tie the knot soon? Only time will tell.
