Pete Hegseth, co-host of FOX & Friends Weekend, has made a candid admission about his marriage to Jennifer Rauchet, revealing that he’s “badmouthed” his wife on multiple occasions. Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, the couple has managed to keep their family life balanced—although it hasn’t always been easy.

Hegseth, who married Rauchet in 2019 at Trump National Golf Club Colts Neck, has been open about his personal life, including the challenges of managing a blended family. Rauchet, a former Fox News producer, is the mother of three children from her previous marriages, and together, she and Hegseth have seven kids—ranging from their own daughter, Gwen, born in 2017, to Hegseth’s children from his previous marriages.

Despite a rocky start to their relationship—particularly the scandalous nature of Rauchet’s pregnancy with their daughter while Hegseth was still married to his second wife—the couple has remained strong, learning to navigate the complexities of co-parenting and their professional careers.

Jennifer Rauchet’s career in the media began in 2001 when she started working as a producer at WPIX-TV. She went on to join Fox News in 2006, where she worked on Fox & Friends and Watters’ World. She also served as an executive producer for Fox Nation before stepping away from her position to focus on her family. Rauchet maintains an active social media presence, often sharing moments from her blended family life.
