Who Is Jesse Watters?

His sharp wit and sense of humor gave Watters a unique reporting style, which polished him into one of the top recognizable faces on the Fox News network. In 2015, Jesse started hosting his own show, Watters’ World.
Along with his own show, Watters published his book, How I Saved the World, in 2018, becoming a best-selling author. The book is a memoir of his life as a political journalist and a TV personality.
What Is the Story of Noelle and Jesse Watters?
Noelle and Jesse met on the sets of Fox News Channel, and they started dating publicly in 2005. Four years later, the Fox News couple tied the knot, and in 2011 they became parents to Ellie and Sophie, their twin daughters.
Over the 12 years Noelle spent at Fox News network, she managed to build a successful career for herself in the fashion industry and do what she’s been passionate about her whole life. But as a loving mother, she left all of it behind to focus on her family and raising her babies.
Unfortunately, this picture-perfect family, which she sacrificed her job for, didn’t stay intact for long. After 9 years of marriage, Jesse and Noelle’s family broke apart in 2018 when they finalized their divorce papers.
Why Did They Split Up?

In 2017, Jesse had an extramarital affair with his then-25-year-old Fox News Associate Producer, Emma DiGiovine.
Jesse and Emma met while working at Fox News network, and they reportedly went on vacation together in the Caribbean, which they documented on their social media platforms.
Once Noelle knew about the affair, she was heartbroken by the fact that her husband would cheat on her and post it online without even caring about his wife’s feelings. She filed for divorce in October 2017 as soon as they went public with their affair.
After his then-wife filed for divorce, Jesse Watters informed the network in November 2017 about his relationship with Emma DiGiovine who worked closely with him and was part of his staff. She was then transferred to an opinion-based talk show called The Ingraham Angle.
In August 2019, Jesse and Emma announced their engagement and got married 4 months later in December. They had their first baby boy in 2021, and 2 years later their family grew a little bigger when they had a baby girl.
Wrapping Up
Noelle now lives with her two daughters in Washington, DC, and chooses to keep her personal life as private as possible.
She hasn’t married anyone after Jesse and has decided to dedicate her life to her daughters, Ellie and Sophie, and further pursue her passion for fashion and style.
