Scandal, Secrets, and a Sunset Wedding: Jesse Watters Marries Former Fox Producer He Had an Affair With
Jesse Watters, the ever-smiling, camera-ready Fox News host, just made headlines once again—but this time, it’s not for his political takes. Instead, it’s for his marriage to Emma DiGiovine, the woman at the center of the scandalous workplace affair that shook Fox News to its core back in 2017.
And now? They’re officially husband and wife.
“I’m Watters and This is My Wife”
With a tweet as breezy as a spring breeze and as confident as his on-screen persona, Jesse Watters took to social media and dropped a bombshell:
“I’m Watters and this is my wife #loveyou.”
Attached was a glossy photo from the couple’s wedding, which took place in December 2019 in sunny Naples, Florida—a picture-perfect ceremony filled with luxury, power, and a guest list that reads like a Trump rally invite.
From Office Romance to Marital Vows
Let’s rewind.
Back in 2017, Jesse Watters, then 38 and married with two young daughters, was riding high as one of Fox News’s rising stars. But behind the scenes, he was involved in a secret romance with Emma DiGiovine, a 25-year-old associate producer working directly under him on Watters’ World.
The affair reportedly began while both were employed on the same show, raising red flags at the network—especially since Watters was a married man.
Once the relationship was revealed, the scandal took flight.
Reporting Himself to HR… and Moving Her
In a move that few saw coming, Watters voluntarily reported the relationship to Fox News’s human resources department in November 2017.
“Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily reporting… management met with both parties,” a Fox spokesperson confirmed.
“A decision was made for the woman to be transferred to another program.”
Emma was moved to The Ingraham Angle, hosted by Laura Ingraham, while the couple continued to date.
But the damage was done.
The Marriage That Didn’t Survive
In October 2017, just weeks after the affair came to light internally, Jesse’s then-wife, Noelle Watters, filed for divorce. The couple had been married since 2009 after meeting at Fox News—Jesse working in production for Bill O’Reilly, and Noelle working in advertising and promotions, as well as hosting a fashion web series called iMag Style.
They share twin daughters, born in 2011.
The divorce wasn’t made public until March 2018, but by then, the news cycle had already sniffed out the affair.
The Great Fox Exodus
After the scandal broke, Emma DiGiovine quietly left Fox News altogether in spring 2018.
No public statements were made. No televised farewells. Just a clean exit.
Many insiders speculated that despite the “consensual” nature of the relationship, the optics were simply too volatile in the post-MeToo media landscape.
A Star-Studded “Happily Ever After”
Fast forward to December 2019, and all scandal seemed washed away under the Florida sun.
The couple tied the knot in a lavish ceremony attended by the conservative elite:
Donald Trump Jr.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Eric and Lara Trump
Kelly Dodd from The Real Housewives of Orange County, who gushed:
“Beautiful wedding with an impressive guest list.”
The guest list wasn’t just impressive—it was politically charged.
Watters, now 41, had fully leaned into his identity as one of Fox’s most recognizable (and polarizing) personalities—and this wedding cemented his place in Trumpworld’s inner circle.
Critics Call It “Fox Fairy Tale with a Dark Twist”
While Watters and DiGiovine continue to post family photos online—now with their two young children—many viewers haven’t forgotten how the relationship started.
“It’s a classic case of power dynamics and privilege,” one former network insider shared anonymously. “She was young, ambitious, and working directly for him. He was married and in a position of authority.”
A PR Rebrand That Worked?
Despite the initial backlash, Watters has somehow managed to come out on top.
In fact, since the scandal, his career has skyrocketed. He’s now a co-host of The Five, anchors his own primetime show, and is regularly touted as a future leader of conservative media.
Emma, now 33, has cultivated her own Instagram presence, sharing curated snapshots of her glam lifestyle, fit body, and picture-perfect family. To some, she’s become a modern conservative influencer.
And Now, a New Chapter
From tabloid scandal to social media fairy tale, the Watters-DiGiovine saga is proof that in the world of Fox News, controversy doesn’t always kill careers—it can actually fuel them.
In the end, love—or ambition—conquered all.
And the tweet that said it best?
“I’m Watters and this is my wife.”
