We all have some form of regard toward television hosts as we have already let some of them into our lives through our screens. In comic book terms, they are the type of celebrities who have broken the fourth wall by speaking directly to us viewers. Since we already have some kind of connection to them, we think it’s nice that we get to be introduced to the people who know these TV personalities more anybody else—their significant others. Let’s find out more about the relationship that these TV hosts share with their real-life partners (and maybe even their past ones)!
Candace Owens And George Farmer
The dynamic duo of Candace Owens and George Farmer has captured hearts since their electric union. A match made in love, the couple’s marital journey began with a Trump Winery wedding, a celebration of their shared values. Fast forward to 2021, and their offspring arrived, adding another layer to their vibrant story.
Candace, a firebrand political commentator, found a platform on “The Daily Wire,” where she fearlessly shares her diverse perspectives while hosting her self-titled show “Candace.” Their love story, still young and sizzling hot, ignite admiration and sparks conversations among fans who can’t get enough of this power couple’s electrifying partnership.
Kat Timpf And Cameron Friscia
TV hosts thrive with the support of their life partners. And Kat Timpf, the libertarian columnist and TV personality, found that support in Cameron Friscia. Meeting on the dating app Raya, Kat initially questioned their compatibility. But Cameron’s love was eventually enough to change her perspective on relationships, and the couple wed in 2021.
Kat’s rise to fame on “The Greg Gutfeld Show” and other prominent platforms has also propelled her husband into the spotlight. Cameron, an American veteran and research associate, has now become well-known. They don’t have any kids yet, but they share a cat and dog that were also present at their wedding.
Tomi Lahren And J.P. Arencibia
The union of sports and politics is often unexpected, but it can lead to beautiful partnerships. Such is the case with former MLB player JP Arencibia and conservative commentator Tomi Lahren. Their love story began in early 2021, and in September of the same year, they announced their engagement, with Tomi expressing her love and gratitude for finding her best friend.
JP, known for his baseball career with the Blue Jays, Rangers, and Rays, has transitioned into an analyst role while his wife continues making waves in political commentary. Together, they prove that love can easily bridge different worlds and create a powerful bond.
Dagen McDowell And Jonas Max Ferris
Fox News and Fox Business have seen their fair share of power couples, and among them is the dynamic duo of Dagen McDowell and Jonas Max Ferris. Dagen, a seasoned anchor and co-host of “The Bottom Line,” has been a familiar face on TV for years. Her husband, Jonas, is an economic analyst and financial adviser who shares his expertise on the Fox Business Network panel.
Their story began in the Fox News studios in 2001, where their chemistry was undeniable. After years of working together and entertaining viewers with their lively debates on “Cashin’ In,” they tied the knot in 2005.
Greg Gutfeld And Elena Moussa
Greg Gutfeld, the renowned television host, libertarian commentator, and author, has found a lifelong partner in his Russian wife, Elena Moussa. Their romantic journey began in 2004 when they crossed paths in London on the first day of Greg’s job as the editor-in-chief of Maxim UK.
Elena, a former Russian model and fashion stylist, had caught his attention from the moment he laid eyes on her. After three days of persistently pursuing her, he finally asked her for a date. Their connection grew, and they soon married after five months of dating. While they both have substantial social media presence, they maintain a private personal life.
Rosie O’Donnell and Elizabeth Rooney
Rosie O’Donnell is a revolutionary host who changed the face of daytime television partly because of her beloved The Rosie O’Donnell Show, which ran from 1996 to 2002. Through hosting that show, Rosie has won numerous Emmy Awards. These solidified her name in the TV industry, which she’s been part of for over 20 years now. The gay rights activist got engaged in October 2018 to her military veteran girlfriend, Elizabeth Rooney. The engagement between the two was confirmed on People. Despite O’Donnell being 56 and Rooney being 33, the two seem to be a good match as they treat each other as equals. Good for these two!
Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani
Anderson Cooper first became CNN’s golden boy when he passionately covered the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. What most people don’t know is that Anderson is the son of author Wyatt Cooper and the renowned fashion designer and artist Gloria Vanderbilt. Anderson may have been destined for stardom all along! The Anderson Cooper 360 anchor has had a lengthy relationship with Ben Maisani whom he lived with since 2009. However, news of their break-up broke in March 2018 when Cooper himself admitted to the split. According to People, Cooper expressed that he and Maisani are still best friends despite their separation as a couple.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
In 2003, The Ellen DeGeneres Show swept America with Ellen’s warm and comedic disposition, which ultimately conquered the hearts of people all over the world. The TV personality has also conquered the heart of one woman since 2001—Portia de Rossi. The gorgeous couple ended up getting married in 2008 to the delight of every Ellen fan, straight or not. Up until this day, Degeneres has done nothing but up her game as she utilizes technology and finds talented guests via the internet to bring onto her show. We can’t even imagine the day when Ellen would have to leave our screens!
Drew Carey and Amie Harwick
Since 2007, Drew Allison Carey has been the host of CBS’s beloved game show, The Price Is Right. But aside from being a host, Carey also has other titles to boast of such as being a comedian, author, actor, photographer, and even a sports executive. Back in 2017, rumors sparked that the 60-year-old Carey was dating a 37-year-old doctor named Amie Harwick who is a licensed marriage and family therapist. The rumors turned out to be true as the couple announced they were getting married in January 2018. However, the engagement was called off in November 2018 as the two decided to end their relationship altogether.
Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy
Before Michael Anthony Strahan won his two Daytime Emmy Awards for co-hosting Live! with Kelly and Michael from 2012 to 2016, he spent 15 years scoring points for the New York Giants. The ex-NFL player even aided the Giants in winning the Super Bowl XLII for his final season. Michael was previously engaged to Nicole Murphy until they decided to call off their wedding and end their seven-year relationship in 2014. Since then, Strahan hasn’t had any serious relationships and seems to be focused only on his career. Michael is currently co-hosting ABC’s Strahan and Sara along with being on Fox NFL Sunday as a football analyst.
Phillip Schofield and Stephanie Lowe
The English TV presenter, Phillip Bryan Schofield, has been in the TV industry for over 35 years now. Even if that’s the case, Schofield seems to be nowhere near retirement. He is currently a co-presenter alongside Holly Willoughby for This Morning and Dancing on Ice, both aired on ITV. In January 2019, Phillip and his gorgeous wife, Stephanie, celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. The celebration happened just a few days after Stephanie’s birthday and shortly before Phil hit 56. The lovely couple actually met on BBC Children’s TV where Steph worked as a production assistant and where Phil first got his big break!
Holly Willoughby and Daniel Baldwin
Speaking of Holly Willoughby from ITV’s This Morning and Dancing on Ice, she’s also one host who found love alongside someone from the TV industry. Holly’s husband is named Daniel Baldwin, and he is a producer whose portfolio of works include Virtually Famous and Celebrity Juice. The duo, who tied the knot in 2007, met while working on a kids show called Ministry of Mayhem and were inseparable ever since. Dan and Holly now share three loving kids together named Harry, Belle, and Chester. Apart from that, the power couple also has their own company called Roxy Media.
Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry
Yale University graduate Sara Gilbert is not only one of the hosts of CBS’s The Talk, but she is also its creator. The show first aired in 2010, and it gave us a central theme of motherhood and parenthood through mothers talking about current events and issues. As time passed, the daytime show has developed and broadened its range of opinion. Perhaps that’s why it’s still around up to this day. Sara is a mother of three herself and is the wife of singer-songwriter Linda Perry of the rock band, 4 Non Blondes.
Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham
Oprah Winfrey will forever be remembered for The Oprah Winfrey Show, which is considered as the highest-rated TV show of its kind. The nationally syndicated talk show premiered in 1986—the same year when Oprah started dating her longtime lover, Stedman Graham. The Queen of All Media met Graham at a charity event in Chicago, which is where he established the philanthropic organization called Athletes Against Drugs. Although the two got engaged in 1992, they canceled it and decided it’s better for them not to walk down the aisle. Winfrey and Graham apparently got it right as they’re still happy lovebirds until today!
Howard Stern and Beth Ostrosky
Howard Stern has been riding the airwaves since 1975. But it wasn’t until he landed his own radio show a decade after that people really began taking notice of him. The Howard Stern Show has been with us for more than 30 years now, and it doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere anytime soon—just like Stern’s marriage! In January 2019, rumors of a possible split between Howard and his wife, Beth Ostrosky Stern, began to make rounds. Good thing the animal rights advocate, Beth, was quick to set the records straight on their marital bliss when she became a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in that same month.
Jon Stewart and Tracey McShane
Comedy Central’s satirical news program called The Daily Show was hosted by Jon Stewart from 1999 to 2015. The Daily Show won a total of 22 Primetime Emmy Awards during the stand-up comedian’s tenure, so he obviously was successful in his career. Aside from his professional success, Jon also achieved another feat by having a happy married life with a vet named Tracey McShane. The pair actually met through a blind date set up by a mutual friend in 1996. Four years later, the couple tied the knot after Jon proposed through a customized crossword puzzle! They are now proud parents of two wonderful kids, 14-year-old Nathan and 12-year-old Maggie.
David Letterman and Regina Lasko
If you’re a David Letterman fan, then you’ve probably heard of his wife, Regina Lasko. Letterman met Lasko in 1986 when she worked as a production manager on his late night show. After 23 years of being in a relationship, David married Regina in 2009. After 6 months of wedded bliss, a tape involving Letterman’s affairs with several female employees was threatened to be exposed by a TV producer named Joe Halderman for $2M. Instead of paying, Letterman made a public apology to his wife and fans. Regina eventually forgave her husband, and the two are still together today with their 15-year-old son, Harry Joseph Letterman.
Jay Leno and Mavis Leno
Jay Leno became a prominent name when he became the host of NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Jay Leno Show. Now, the Television Hall of Famer and car enthusiast hosts the show Jay Leno’s Garage. Leno has had Mavis, his philanthropist wife, by his side throughout all these successes. The two began a relationship in 1976 and got married in front of their friends and families in November 1980. Although they’ve been together for over 40 years now, Mavis and Jay mutually decided not to have any children.
Conan O’Brien and Liza Powel O’Brien
If you don’t believe in love at first sight, then take it from Conan O’Brien of TBS’ Conan who has experienced it himself. As he shared with Piers Morgan, O’Brien instantly fell for Liza Powel upon seeing her as an audience member during a taping of Late Night with Conan O’Brien in 2000. It might’ve even been captured by the show’s cameras. Liza’s father also says he saw the connection develop between the lovebirds right before his eyes. Conan and Liza have been married for 16 years now and share two kids together. Now that’s a love story!
Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne
Who doesn’t know the iconic power couple that is Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne? The eccentric couple has been together since the ‘70s and have experienced troubles with substance abuse, intense fights, and much more—with the most recent one being the alleged infidelity on Ozzy’s side. Despite all these, their 30-year marriage has also been through many triumphs. Sharon managed Ozzy’s solo career after his Black Sabbath days, and the two even got their own reality TV show with daughter Kelly and son Jack called The Osbournes (2002-2005). As of January 2019, a biopic of Sharon and Ozzy’s life is in the works with a script already being developed.
Phil McGraw and Robin McGraw
Phillip Calvin McGraw, also known as Dr. Phil, is a psychologist-turned-TV personality who first gained fame when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in the late ‘90s. About a decade after his first taste of celebrity status, McGraw went on to host his own TV show called Dr. Phil, which premiered in 2002. Dr. Phil has been married to the actress and author, Robin McGraw, since 1976, and they are parents to two grown-up children named Jay and Jordan. Dr. Phil has been renewed for four more seasons, so we’ll still have our resident psychologist on our screens until May 2023.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Tim Hasselbeck
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a TV celebrity best known for being one of the co-hosts of The View, which is aired on ABC. She won herself a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host for her stint on the show which lasted from 2003 until 2013. Hasselbeck actually first became a TV personality in 2001 when she finished fourth place in the second season of Survivor. After that year, Elisabeth married sports analyst and former NFL player Tim Hasselbeck. The two began dating as college sweethearts in 1997. Now, they have three angelic children named Grace Elisabeth, Taylor Thomas, and Isaiah.
Barbara Walters and Merv Adelson
Before she retired as a full-time broadcast journalist and host, Barbara Walters was celebrated for hosting various TV programs including The Today Show and ABC Evening News. Walters is still working as an executive producer for The View, though, so she’s still somehow part of the TV industry. Barbara donned a wedding dress twice—in 1981 and in 1986—for the late co-founder of Lorimar Television, Merv Adelson. The two divorced in 1984 after their first marriage but eventually found love again and re-married. However, the union led to their final split in 1992. Barbara hasn’t re-married since.
Craig Ferguson and Megan Wallace Cunningham
Craig Ferguson was the host of the Celebrity Name Game, which earned him two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game Show Host. The game show ended in 2017 and Craig released a six-episode internet show on YouTube called Couple Thinkers, featuring him and his wife, Megan Cunningham. Megan is an art dealer who married Craig in 2008 and made him a family man by giving birth to their son, Liam James, in 2011. Unlike other celebrity couples, Ferguson and Cunningham have not had any controversy in their marriage and we applaud them for it!
Regis Philbin and Joy Philbin
In the ‘60s, Regis Philbin was hosting almost every hit talk show and game show there was on television. He even became a Guinness World Record holder for having the most time spent facing a TV camera—16,343 hours to be precise. That’s a lot of turns for a watch’s hands! Since tying the knot in 1970, Philbin has remained in love and married to his interior decorator wife, Joy Senese. Their daughters are also part of the entertainment industry with one being a director and writer named Joanna and the other being a producer and writer named Jennifer Joy.
Chris Matthews and Kathleen Matthews
For 24 years now, the American political commentator, Chris Matthews, has been the host of an hour-long nightly talk show called Hardball with Chris Matthews. The show sees Chris with guest panelists discussing various topics which are mostly focused on current political matters. With the nature of his show, it makes sense that Chris is married to an intellectual woman like Kathleen Matthews who has anchored for WJLA-TV’s News 7 for 25 years. Kathleen has also dabbled into politics as she used to be the head of the Maryland Democratic Party. Listening to this couple’s scholarly banters is probably just like sitting in a politics class. We can only imagine!
Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney
Just like Conan, Jimmy Kimmel met the love of his life on his own show. The TV host got acquainted with his wife, Molly McNearny, when she worked as a writer’s assistant for Jimmy Kimmel Live. However, they didn’t immediately start dating back then since they were both in a relationship. By late 2009, their friendship turned romantic when the funnyman cooked all of McNearny’s favorites like pizza, gnocchi, crab claws, BLT sandwich, and even cheeseburgers. Jimmy’s plan of reversing the saying, “a way to man’s heart is through his gut”, worked as the two eventually got married in 2013 and are still happily in love!
Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin
Before Lisa Rinna became known as a Soap Talk host, she first became famous in the acting world for various roles such as Taylor McBride in Melrose Place, which first aired in 1992. A year after that premiere, Rinna had her first date with L.A. Law’s Harry Hamlin in 1993. A waiter supposedly told them they were soulmates and the beautiful couple ended up getting married in 1997. We can’t really blame Harry for sticking by his wife until today as Rinna, who has admitted to have had plastic surgery, is still gorgeous at 55 years old.
Larry King and Shawn Southwick
Larry King’s career in television and radio hosting spans more than six decades from when he first started in the industry. This length of time has enabled King to hone his skills. He was eventually recognized by various award-giving bodies such as the Emmy Awards, ACE Awards, and Peabody Awards. King has given eight wedding rings to seven different women, with Shawn Southwick being his last partner whom he’s still married to until today. King married Shawn three days before the 85-year-old Larry King Now TV host underwent heart surgery in 1997.
George Lopez and Ann Serrano
George Lopez is known for his self-produced and self-titled sitcom on ABC, which aired from 2002 to 2007. The Mexican-American comedian and talk show host has won several awards for his contributions in the Latino Community and was even part of Time’s 2005 Top 25 Hispanics in America. Lopez has only been married once in his life, and it was in 1993 with actress and producer Ann Serrano. In 2004, Ann donated her own kidney to George who needed it because of a genetic condition that deteriorated his own kidney. Even though the operation was a success, their marriage wasn’t. Serano and Lopez ended up filing their divorce papers in 2011.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos
In 1995, Kelly Ripa first met her husband Mark Consuelos when they became co-stars on the ABC TV show called All My Children. On May 1, 1996, the couple eloped and secretly got married in Vegas. Yeah, they actually did that! Ripa’s pregnancy came about a year after and their first child, Michael Joseph, was then born in June 1997. Aside from their eldest, Kelly and Mark also have a daughter named Lola Grace, born in June 2001, and another son named Joseph Antonio, born in February 2003. The couple has recently worked together this 2019 as Kelly played a mistress of her own husband’s character in Riverdale.
Magic Johnson and Cookie Johnson
Magic Johnson is the retired basketball icon-turned-president of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball operations who hosted his own talk show called The Magic Hour in 1998. The number of critics citing Johnson‘s nerves (which included radio host Howard Stern) didn’t really help with his anxiety. After only eight weeks of being televised, the show got sacked and Magic has not had his own show since. What he does have now, though, is his wife, Cookie Johnson, who has stayed with him through all his ups and downs since they got married in 1991.
RuPaul and Georges LeBar
The American drag queen, RuPaul, has always been in and out of the entertainment industry. But it wasn’t until 2009 when his name actually blew up. In that year, the TV personality came up with the first season of the hit reality competition called RuPaul’s Drag Race, which earned him three Primetime Emmy Awards since its premiere. In 2017, RuPaul became part of Time’s annual list of its 100 Most Influential People in the World. During that time, RuPaul also married his longtime partner, Georges LeBar. The two are in an open relationship together which means that cheating isn’t a worry for any of them!
Jillian Michaels and Heidi Rhoades
Fitness buff Jillian Michaels has made a fortune out of her lifestyle as she became known all over America for being on NBC‘s The Biggest Loser. The personal trainer’s success became even more apparent when she eventually got her own reality TV show titled Losing It with Jillian, which debuted on E! in 2016. Jillian has had an almost nine-year public relationship with Heidi Rhoades who even became her fiancée. Sadly, the gorgeous duo announced their split in June 2018. Jillian and Heidi are now just friends, co-parenting their two lovely children.
Robin Meade and Tim Yeager
Robin Meade is known as the lead news anchor for Morning Express with Robin Meade, which has been airing on the HLN TV network since 2016. The former Miss Ohio started out her career in broadcasting by first being part of the state’s various local stations before finally joining HLN in 2001. Throughout all this, Robin has had the support of her spouse, Tim Yeager, whom she married in 1993. Even though Yeager has a famous wife, the man makes decent money with an estimated fortune of $4.5M in his name, which he earned by being involved in various fields.
Chris Rock and Malaak Compton Rock
Chris Rock quickly rose to fame when he became part of the beloved comedy show, Saturday Night Live, in the early ‘90s. After that, the stand-up comedian went on to star on various projects like Down to Earth (2001), Grown Ups (2010), and Top Five (2014). Chris’ comedic talents really shined when he was tasked to host the Academy Awards twice—in 2005 and in 2016. It was also during that latter year when Rock was divorced by his wife of nearly 20 years, Malaak Compton, because of his alleged infidelities with three women, which spread like wildfire through the press.
Pat Sajack and Lesly Brown
Everybody knows Pat Sajak as the host of Wheel of Fortune, one of America’s longest running game shows. The television personality actually started out his career as a radio disk jockey when he was still in college before going on to DJ for the US Army and some other radio stations. Pat then became a weatherman for KNBC right after. Luckily, the creator of Wheel of Fortune, Merv Griffin, saw something in Pat and asked him to take over the show. And as they say, the rest was history! Sajak is married to photographer Lesly Brown Sajak since 1989, and they share a 28-year-old son and a 24-year-old daughter together.
Rachael Ray and John M. Cusimano
We’re happy that the TV show 30 Minute Meals will be coming back this 2019 and that we can binge-watch it because Food Network now has its own streaming TV platform. But of course, we’re even happier that its original host, Rachael Ray, is coming back because we don’t think it’ll be the same without her. Ray is married to John Cusimano who is not only the frontman of the rock band The Cringe but is also a trained mixologist. The couple had an Italian wedding in Tuscany on September 24, 2005.
