Sean Hannity may be planning a new “I do” with longtime Fox News colleague Ainsley Earhardt, but before there was Ainsley, there was Jill Rhodes — the enigmatic ex-wife who’s chosen a life far from the media circus.

And now that Hannity is back in headlines with his surprise engagement, fans can’t help but ask: Whatever happened to Jill Rhodes?

From Journalist to Homemaker… to TV Editor?
Before she was Mrs. Hannity, Jill Rhodes had her own impressive career in journalism. She was working as a political columnist when she met Sean in the early ’90s — a media match made in Huntsville, Alabama.By the time Hannity was climbing the cable news ladder, Rhodes had transitioned from reporting to book editing, then later pivoted once again to become a full-time homemaker after the birth of their two children.

Though she mostly kept out of the public eye, reports later revealed she’d quietly returned to work — this time as a TV editor. But true to form, Rhodes never made a splashy announcement or shared any details. In fact, no one knows exactly when she started or left the job.
