Who is Jesse Watters’ second wife, Emma DiGiovine? She met the Fox News TV host at work and he cheated on his first wife to woo her; Trump family members attended the pair’s wedding

Watters bragged about sabotaging DiGiovine’s car in order to romance the former ballerina and Fox News producer; the couple married in 2019 and have 2 children together
Fox News conservative commentator Jesse Watters shocked no one when he continued his attacks on former US vice-president Kamala Harris, as well as her husband, Doug Emhoff, in a recent episode of Jesse Watters Primetime. Reacting to photographs released by the New York Post of the couple shopping in Westwood, Los Angeles, he quipped, “What kind of man gets up in the morning and says, ‘I’m going to go grocery shopping with my wife’?”

The comment was met with vitriol from netizens, including ex-Republican politician Joe Walsh, who asserted, “Only a very weak, insecure man would ask a question like that.” Elsewhere on social media, Watters’ own love life was brought into question, particularly his controversial relationship with second wife, Emma, with whom he attended Donald Trump’s inauguration last month.

According to Heavy, Emma DiGiovine graduated from Fairfield University, Connecticut, where she studied journalism. During her college years, she briefly worked as a model. She was also part of Fairfield’s dance ensemble and student association, where she served as director of marketing. After a spell as an intern with TV network Showtime she landed a job at Fox News as an associate producer, working on the show Watters’ World.

According to celebrity-news channel Nicki Swift, the New Jersey native is a trained ballerina and is involved with the non-profit organisation Hope Through Education, for economically disadvantaged children, as an honorary board member. She previously ran a short-lived lifestyle blog.

Watters’ first wife, Noelle Inguagiato, also worked at Fox, in the marketing department, per The List. After the couple welcomed their twin girls in 2011, she quit her job. Later, Watters began an affair with DiGiovine. During an episode of The Five, he recalled trying to court her by letting the air out of her car tyres so he could offer her a lift.

A month after Inguagiato filed for divorce, in October 2017, per the New York Daily News, Watters came clean about his affair with DiGiovine to Fox’s HR department. DiGiovine was then transferred to The Ingraham Angle show. She left Fox in 2018, per Heavy.
