Children from the couple’s previous marriage were informed and consented in advance. Hannity has two children, Patrick and Meri, with ex-wife Jill Rose, whom he married in 1993 but divorced in 2019. Earhart has a daughter, Hayden, with ex-husband Will Proctor. Earhart and Proctor married in 2012 and finalized their divorce in 2019. The couple emphasized that they still maintain friendly relations with their ex-spouse and that everyone supports their marriage.
After their engagement, Hannity and Earhart met with their pastor to further solidify the spiritual foundation of their relationship.
