If you’ve always suspected that Fox News’s Jesse Watters seemed to move pretty quickly from wife number one to wife number two, you’re not wrong — it turns out he did. The conservative political commenter settled his divorce from his first wife, Noelle Inguagiato, in March 2019, and by the end of that same year, he was already married to another woman. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Jesse and his second wife, Emma Watters, were already an item before the divorce papers were signed. But just how far back does their relationship go?
By Jesse’s admission, their love story dates back to when she worked with him as his associate producer. “When I was trying to get Emma to date me, the first thing I did was let the air out of her tires. She couldn’t go anywhere; she needed a lift. I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in,” he shared with his co-hosts on “The Five” while grinning. If the commentator’s story about how he “met” his wife has you creeped out, you’d be shocked to realize the actual story is much worse. Jesse Watters conveniently omitted the fact that he was married at the time he began pursuing Emma, who was 14 years younger.
Jesse Watters Also Met His First Wife While Working At Fox
Ironically, Fox News host Jesse Watters also met his first wife, Noelle Inguagiato, while she was working in Fox’s marketing segments. They began a relationship, tied the knot in 2009, and eventually had twin daughters. While Jesse continued to work for the network, Inguagiato resigned after having their children. Abandoned ambitions aside, the couple seemed quite happy, often sharing lovey-dovey posts on social media. In fact, the same year Jesse Watters admitted to cheating on Noelle with Emma, he posted a Valentine’s Day wish to her on Facebook.
However, the conservative commenter’s internet antics weren’t enough to fool his wife, who eventually discovered the affair and filed to endtạo hình ảnh cho nội dung: Declan Donnelly’s 8-Figure Net Worth Finally Exposed their marriage in October 2017. Thanks to the impending scandal, Jesse scheduled a meeting with Fox’s Chief of Human Resources in November and came clean. Interestingly, as the network would later explain, the resulting clean-up only affected Emma Watters (then Digiovine), while he walked away unscathed: “Management met with both parties, and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network, where she currently remains” (via New York Daily News).
Jesse And Emma Watters Dated Throughout His Divorce Battle
As it turned out, Fox’s decision to move Emma Watters to “The Ingraham Angle” wasn’t a lasting solution, and a month later, she left the Right-wing television channel permanently. Although Fox’s spokesperson did not clarify whether this was Emma’s personal decision or one made by the network, we know Jesse Watters kept his job and even climbed the corporate ladder by replacing Tucker Carlson after the controversial host left his Fox show in 2023.
