Who is Jesse Watters married to? Fox News host says his wife voting for Kamala Harris is akin to having an affair
With a few days left for the US Presidential Election, TV host Jesse Watters has recently claimed that if his wife, Emma DiGiovine, secretly votes for Kamala Harris, it would be similar to having an affair. Watters' comments came while appearing on The Five, also produced by Emma, on October 31, 2024.
Emma has been an associate producer of Watters' World and even pursued a career as a model in the past. The duo's romance dates back to 2017, and they are parents to two children.
Notably, Jesse Watters made the statement when the panelists were addressing an ad featuring the voice of Julia Roberts as part of Kamala's campaign. The ad shows Roberts encouraging women to lie to their husbands about voting in favor of Kamala. Watters addressed the same by saying:
"If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that's the same thing as having an affair. That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?"
In response, panelist Jeanine Pirro questioned Watters on why Emma would lie to him, and Jesse replied:
"Why would she do that and vote Harris? Why would she say she was voting… If I caught her and she said, 'I lied to you for the last four years.'"
While Jeanine asked Jesse Watters if he would "intimidate," the latter responded and said:
"It's over, Emma! That would be D-Day!"
Jesse Watters and Emma DiGiovine tied the knot after the former's divorce from his previous wife
The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native has become a popular face over the years due to his appearances on TV shows such as The O'Reilly Factor. However, besides his successful career, Jesse's personal life has also been in the spotlight.
As mentioned, he has been married to Emma DiGiovine. Before exchanging vows with Emma, Jesse Watters created headlines when his first wife, Noelle Inguagiato, applied for divorce in 2018.
Shortly after Noelle filed the divorce papers, Jesse Watters revealed his relationship with Emma to his superiors, due to which DiGiovine was transferred to another show, The Ingraham Angle, as per The Raw Story. The transfer was also confirmed by Fox News in a statement, which reads in part:
"Management met with both parties and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network where she currently remains."
Emma and Jesse's affair reportedly started after DiGiovine joined the show Watters World, and Jesse was still married to Noelle when the relationship began. The pair got engaged in 2019 and tied the knot the same year. The duo became the parents of a son named Jesse Bailey Watters, Jr. in 2021, and a daughter, Georgina Post Watters, last year.
Emma DiGiovine was initially a production assistant for John Stossel on Fox News in 2015. She left the network three years later and got involved with philanthropic activities. Before that, she was employed as an assistant to the vice president of corporate affairs and the VP of entertainment at Showtime.
DiGiovine is also an expert in dancing and completed her higher studies at Fairfield University. She is a former model and has worked with companies like MSA Models.
