Jesse Watters isn’t just making waves on Fox News; his personal life has been a rollercoaster ride of romance, scandal, and family milestones. From a controversial affair that sparked headlines to a picture-perfect life with his new wife and children, there’s much more to Watters’ story than his sharp on-screen persona.
Emma DiGiovine: Watters’ Current Wife
Born on June 1, 1991, in Cranford, New Jersey, Emma didn’t just step into Watters’ life—she caused a media storm while doing it. A rising media personality herself, Emma joined Fox News in 2015 as an associate producer. Fate (and proximity) soon had her working on Jesse’s show, Watters’ World. Little did anyone know, their workplace connection would evolve into an affair that made headlines in 2017.
But if you think their love story was typical, think again. Jesse himself confessed to an eyebrow-raising tactic he used to catch Emma’s attention. On an episode of The Five, Jesse joked about a scheme that could rival a rom-com plot—or a thriller, depending on your perspective. He admitted to deflating Emma’s car tires so she’d be “stuck” and need a ride home.
“She couldn’t go anywhere,” Jesse quipped. “I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car.”
This unexpected confession left his co-hosts both amused and aghast. But the cherry on top? Emma, who was watching from the sidelines, had no idea about this little trick. “Now she does!” Jesse laughed, as the panel erupted with questions about his unique approach to courtship.
Despite the unconventional start and the very public fallout from his first marriage to Noelle Inguagiato—whom he divorced in 2019—Jesse wasted no time solidifying his relationship with Emma. By the end of that year, he proposed, and the two tied the knot in a glamorous December wedding attended by power players like Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle.
He Has Two Children with Emma
Emma and Jesse have two children together, making their family life a central part of their narrative. Their first child, Jesse Bailey Watters Jr., was born in April 202. Two years later, in April 2023, they welcomed their daughter, Georgina Post Watters, completing their adorable little family.
Emma frequently posts about their family adventures, from outings to behind-the-scenes glimpses of life with two young children. Jesse also proudly shares updates, balancing his busy career with fatherhood.
Jesse Watters’ First Wife: Noelle Inguagiato
Before Emma, Jesse was married to Noelle Inguagiato, a fashion stylist and former TV host. Noelle and Jesse tied the knot in 2009 and had twin daughters, Ellie and Sophie, in November 2011. For years, they seemed to be the picture of a happy family.
However, things took a turn in 2017 when Noelle discovered Jesse’s affair with Emma. This led to their divorce, which was finalized in March 2019. Despite the separation, Jesse has remained actively involved in his twin daughters’ lives, often sharing moments spent with them.
