While the nation may know Trace Gallagher as Fox News’ trusted chief breaking news correspondent — covering everything from war zones to historic trials — few know the man behind the camera, and even fewer know the love story that has been quietly unfolding behind the scenes for nearly 28 years.

Trace Gallagher’s marriage to Tracy Holmes-Gallagher has largely remained a mystery to the public, in part because the couple chooses to keep their personal life private. Yet in recent years, especially with the rise of social media and fans’ growing fascination with TV personalities, interest in Gallagher’s wife has surged. Who is the woman who shares his life, and how have they maintained such a strong relationship in the spotlight?

Despite internet rumors and identity confusion with another TV travel journalist named Tracy Gallagher, it’s now clear that the real Tracy Holmes-Gallagher, wife of Trace, is a different person altogether. While the travel journalist appears on PBS and runs a travel website with glamorous photos and international trips, Trace’s wife has kept a low public profile. She is not in the television business, and the details of her career remain largely unknown.

What we do know is that the Gallaghers share two daughters and have built a life full of travel, sports, and shared experiences. Their 2021 winter holiday to Mammoth Mountain highlighted Trace’s deep-rooted love for his hometown, while another Instagram post captured a sweet moment at the legendary Flora-Bama bar and grill — a symbolic gesture of how even the simplest outings are meaningful when shared with someone you love.

Though not one to overshare, Gallagher has occasionally used his Instagram to celebrate his wife. On their 26th wedding anniversary, he posted a nostalgic photo of the two together with the caption: “Imagine being married to this stunning woman for 26 years!” That simple yet powerful tribute says a lot about the affection and respect he holds for her.

Their story — a love that spans almost three decades and avoids the tabloids — is a testament to balance, privacy, and lasting connection in an industry not known for stability. As Gallagher continues to deliver the nation’s top stories, it’s clear that his favorite story is the one he’s still living with Tracy: a story of partnership, family, and timeless love.
