Back in 219 Fox News personality Jesse Watters found himself at the center of controversy after it was revealed he had been involved in an affair with Emma DiGiovine, a 25-year-old associate producer at the network.

At the time, Watters was married to Noelle Watters, his wife of ten years and the mother of their twin daughters. The revelation of the affair led Noelle, then 41, to file for divorce, which was finalized in 2019, bringing their decade-long marriage to an end.

Following the exposure of the relationship, DiGiovine was reassigned to a different show within the network. But how their love story started requires more attention as Jesse openly tells it

How did Jesse Watters and Emma Di Giovanne Romance Start?

Jesse Watters, the outspoken Fox News anchor known for his bold opinions on political topics, also has a personal life that draws a lot of curiosity.

In December 2019, Jesse married Emma Watters (née DiGiovine), and their relationship has continued to flourish. Their story, however, started with what Jesse himself described as an unconventional approach.


Reflecting on how he first pursued Emma, Jesse openly admitted to a rather unusual tactic. “When I was trying to get [my wife Emma] to date me, first thing I did, uh, I let the air out of her tires,” Jesse revealed. “She couldn’t go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.”

Though he joked about the questionable nature of his actions, Jesse also suggested that his plan ultimately worked out in his favor. The couple’s connection grew, and today, they remain happily married.

Their relationship began after Emma started working at Fox News, marking the start of a romance that has since captured public interest.


Despite the eyebrow-raising story of their courtship, Jesse and Emma appear to have built a strong and lasting bond, with their life together continuing to thrive.

Who is Jesse Walters’ wife Emma Waters?

Jesse Watters is married to Emma DiGiovine. Recently, Watters made a remark about pursuing a woman 14 years younger than him, referring to DiGiovine.

However, this statement sparked criticism from viewers on social media. In response to the backlash, he later clarified on The Five that his story was meant as a joke and was not entirely accurate.

Emma DiGiovine is a producer and former model. Born on June 1, 1992, she earned a journalism degree from Fairfield University, where she was also a member of the Fairfield University Dance Ensemble in 2014.

Initially, she pursued modeling and was signed with MSA Models for two years before shifting her career toward production. She gained recognition for her work as a producer on The Five and Watters’ World, according to IMDb.

Whatever Happened to Jesse Watters First Wife Noelle Watters?

As for Noelle, she has largely remained out of the public spotlight since the divorce. There’s little confirmed information about her current lifestyle, though speculation suggests she may be engaged in philanthropic according to Nicki Swift.

Once a familiar face on Fox News, Noelle Watters—formerly Noelle Inguagiato—has stepped away from the media glare and built a more private, grounded life in 2025.

Known for her early work as a fashion stylist and television host on Fox’s iMag Style, Noelle also contributed to popular programs such as The O’Reilly Factor and Outnumbered during her 12-year tenure at the network.

But following her high-profile divorce from Jesse Watters in 2019, Noelle charted a quieter path centered around motherhood and personal reinvention.

Now based in Washington, D.C., she shares her life with twin daughters Sophie and Elle, born in 2011. While she has kept her personal affairs largely out of public view—eschewing the spotlight that once defined her career—sources suggest she may be exploring entrepreneurial projects, possibly returning to her roots in fashion in a new, independent capacity.

In addition to nurturing her family, Noelle is reportedly engaged in charitable efforts focused on children’s welfare and education, highlighting a deepening commitment to causes close to her heart.
