SHOCKING FOX NEWS MOMENT: Julie Banderas Drops Bombshell Divorce Announcement, Leaves Studio in Chaos

In an unexpected and raw moment on Gutfeld!, Fox News anchor Julie Banderas stunned her colleagues and viewers alike by openly revealing that she is going through a divorce. What was supposed to be a light-hearted conversation about Valentine’s Day quickly escalated into a jaw-dropping confession, leaving the studio in chaos.

As the February 9 episode aired, host Greg Gutfeld asked Banderas if she was looking forward to Valentine’s Day. With a bluntness that shocked the audience, Banderas responded, “Fck Valentine’s Day. Yeah, it’s stupid. I mean, even when I was married I didn’t get sht for Valentine’s Day.” The real bombshell came next: “Well, I’m getting a divorce, I’m going to go ahead and say it right here for the very first time. Thank you, everyone. Congratulations are in order. If you know me, you’d clap.”

Her candidness was met with a stunned silence before applause, and Banderas, who has worked at Fox News since 2005, seemed almost relieved as she made the announcement. In her usual no-nonsense style, she assured everyone that the end of her marriage was a positive step, laughing at the situation as she continued to deflect any serious tension with humor.

Banderas had been married to Andrew Sansone since 2009, and while the divorce announcement came as a surprise, she emphasized that Valentine’s Day had never been an important day for them, joking about not receiving anything for the occasion in past years. Her sarcasm and irreverent attitude added to the shock value of the moment.

Before the broadcast, Banderas had teased the news on Twitter, hinting at a big announcement, but nothing could have prepared the viewers for the bluntness of the revelation. The divorce news wasn’t just personal—it became a cultural moment, with many comparing it to the unexpected outbursts of other famous media figures. Despite the seriousness of the news, Banderas’ humor remained intact, and her ability to keep the situation lighthearted drew both sympathy and applause.
