Move over, headlines—this time, Trace Gallagher is the story.

For nearly three decades, Fox News’ chief breaking news correspondent Trace Gallagher has been delivering the nation’s biggest stories with clarity, poise, and professionalism. From wars to wildfires, trials to tragedies—he’s been the calm voice in the chaos.

But behind that polished on-air presence? A deeply private, quietly powerful love story that’s just now starting to come into the spotlight.


👫 Meet Tracy Holmes-Gallagher—But Not That One

The internet’s been buzzing lately about Gallagher’s wife, largely due to a mistaken identity. Many have confused her with another Tracy Gallagher—a well-known travel journalist and TV personality who appears on PBS.

But here’s the truth:
That Tracy? Not his Tracy.

Gallagher’s real-life wife, Tracy Holmes-Gallagher, keeps a much lower profile. While we don’t know her profession, we do know this: she’s been by his side for nearly 28 years, raised two daughters with him, and has built a life filled with travel, laughter, and love.


🏔️ Love, Laughter, and Mammoth Mountains

Despite their quiet approach to fame, the Gallaghers do give us the occasional peek behind the curtain. In late 2021, the couple took their daughters to Mammoth Mountain, Trace’s hometown, for a picture-perfect Christmas ski trip.

From scenic snow-covered slopes to southern sunshine, the Gallaghers also stopped by the legendary Flora-Bama bar & grill on the Florida–Alabama state line.

“When you’re on the Florida-Alabama state line,” Trace captioned a photo of him and Tracy, “there’s only one thing to do. Take your girl to the world-famous Florabama bar and grill.”


🍷 California Living & Napa Vibes

When they’re not traveling, Trace and Tracy seem to enjoy the good life closer to home. Based in Los Angeles, the pair are often spotted at Napa Valley wineries, football stadiums, and baseball fields, living a life that’s as down-to-earth as it is deeply connected.


🥂 A Toast to 28 Years of Love

Trace’s rare glimpses of his personal life have always come with heart. One of the sweetest?

On their 26th wedding anniversary, he posted a throwback of him and Tracy with this caption:

“Imagine being married to this stunning woman for 26 years! I could not be more fortunate. I’d like to raise a glass to my best friend, beautiful wife, love of my life.”


💬 Why Fans Are Calling This Fox’s Most Underrated Love Story

In a world of headlines and high drama, Trace Gallagher’s marriage is the kind of story we don’t hear enough about: stable, quiet, loyal. No scandals, no social media oversharing—just two people growing through life together for nearly three decades.

And maybe that’s what makes it so remarkable.
