Fox Host Sean Hannity, Jill Rhodes Legally Divorced For Over A Year Already

Sean Hannity and Jill Rhodes have been divorced for over a year already, according to their friends.

The Fox News host and his wife have decided to part ways after being together for 26 years. Hannity and Rhodes have two children - Patrick and Merri Kelly.

However, friends of the former couple informed Page Six that they have been legally divorced for over a year already. And prior to that, they had separated for many years but managed to keep it under wraps.

The rumors of Hannity and Rhodes’ separation started floating around the same time as the COVID-19 pandemic because many noticed that Rhodes did not join Hannity at various events. The exes remain amicable even though they have separated.

“Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children. Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between Sean and Jill,” they said in a joint statement.

“They maintain a close relationship as parents to their children. Neither will have any further comments and ask for the sake of their children that their privacy be respected.”

Another source also confirmed to the publication that their split was “very amicable.” Hannity and Rhodes are reportedly on good terms and still have family dinners. They also attend tennis tournaments for their children. Hannity also remains close to Rhodes’ family.

Hannity made headlines last month for criticizing armed anti-lockdown protesters. He called out the protesters for “attempting to intimidate officials with the show of force,” People reported.

“Now, no one is a bigger defender of the Second Amendment than yours truly. Everyone has a right to protest, protect themselves, and try to get the country open,” he said.

He then showed the protesters with long guns and added that the “show of force is dangerous.” He insisted that it puts the police at risk and will never help in delivering their message.

“No one should be attempting to intimidate officials with the show of force. And God forbid something that happens, then they're going to go after all of us law-abiding Second Amendment people,” he added.
