Drama Unfolds: Jesse Watters’ Divorce Heats Up Amid Claims of Infidelity With Young Fox News Staffer
Jesse Watters, 39, finds himself embroiled in a highly publicized divorce battle, and the details are anything but private. After nearly a decade of marriage to Noelle Watters, the Fox News personality is under intense scrutiny following reports of an affair with his 25-year-old associate producer, Emma DiGiovine.
According to the New York Daily News, the affair came to light shortly after Noelle filed for divorce in October 2017. Sources say Jesse confessed to the relationship not long after, voluntarily informing Fox News’ human resources department. The fallout? DiGiovine was reassigned to The Ingraham Angle, but insiders claim she and Watters have continued dating since.
Photos from social media once showed Jesse and Noelle at the White House in happier times, but those days seem long gone. As the couple navigates the complexities of their split, Noelle is reportedly requesting that Jesse cover her legal fees in what could be a drawn-out court battle.
Watters and DiGiovine’s relationship reportedly began while she was working as his associate producer on the Watters’ World segment, starting in June 2016. The romance drew sharp attention, especially since Jesse’s career had just taken off with his own weekend show on Fox.
The network acted swiftly. “Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily disclosing a consensual relationship with a staff member, management intervened, and the employee was transferred to another program,” a Fox News spokesperson stated.
Still, despite efforts to downplay the situation internally, the story has gained momentum—fueled by public curiosity and the couple’s ongoing visibility.
Jesse and Noelle’s relationship originally blossomed at Fox News. He was a regular contributor on The O’Reilly Factor, while she worked in promotions and hosted a web series called iMag Style. They tied the knot in 2009, and welcomed twin daughters in 2011.
While Jesse’s profile at the network continued to grow, Noelle never returned from maternity leave. Over time, his brash, in-your-face media persona became a fixture of Fox’s weekend programming, while Noelle faded from the spotlight.👀 Connections to Trump’s Inner Circle
Watters has long enjoyed support from former President Donald Trump, who reportedly favors the host’s bold style. The two were even photographed together aboard Air Force One in 2017, and Watters has dined with Trump and his allies on several occasions.
Photos online also link DiGiovine to prominent political figures, including Don Jr., Eric Trump, and Kellyanne Conway, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.
Watters’ segment, Watters’ World, became a standalone show in January 2017, featuring a mix of satire and political commentary. However, not all of his content has landed well—his 2016 segment in NYC’s Chinatown was heavily criticized as racially insensitive, sparking widespread backlash.
After Bill O’Reilly’s departure from Fox amid harassment allegations in 2017, Watters was tapped to co-host The Five, further solidifying his status as a rising conservative voice. Ironically, the spotlight that propelled his success may now be intensifying scrutiny on his personal life.
Neither Jesse Watters nor Noelle has publicly commented on the current state of their divorce proceedings. Lawyers for both parties have remained silent, and DiGiovine has declined to respond to media inquiries at her New Jersey residence.
But as the drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: Watters’ off-camera life is proving just as controversial as his on-air persona. With legal battles looming and the affair still making headlines, this story is far from over.
