Sean Hannity and Jill Rhodes had separated years before their split became public in June 2020. Reports at the time said their divorce had been finalized in 2019, more than a year before the announcement. The couple did not state exactly when they separated.
How Hannity and Rhodes met
Hannity met Rhodes in Huntsville, Alabama, where he worked in radio and Rhodes was a newspaper columnist. A 2017 Washington Post profile recounts Hannity’s memory of a difficult premarital counseling session; that account was his recollection, not an independently verified detail.

The separation happened privately, years earlier
When news of the divorce became public in June 2020, reports said the couple had separated years earlier. Their joint statement said, “Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between Sean and Jill.” That wording refers to agreements, not a precise separation date; the reports did not establish when they split.

June 2020 coverage said the divorce had been finalized more than a year before the announcement, placing it in 2019. The distinction matters: the public learned about the divorce in 2020, but the legal process had concluded earlier.
