Behind every great news anchor is an even greater love story. For Fox News’ Bret Baier, that story began with a blind date his wife Amy almost refused. As Bret makes headlines for his recent Donald Trump interview, fans are equally captivated by the unexpected romance that built his twenty-year marriage.
The year 2001 found Amy at a crossroads – she’d recently left her high-powered Calvin Klein job in New York after 9/11 to pursue healthcare in Chicago. When friends suggested she meet a certain Southern journalist, she hesitated. “They told me to brace for an interesting ride,” Amy told Naples Illustrated. “Life with Bret would be anything but boring.”
That warning became a self-fulfilling prophecy in the best way. Bret’s Atlanta-bred manners and charm won over the self-described “competitive” former media pro instantly. Two sons and two decades later, their marriage remains one of Fox News’ most enduring love stories. Amy still makes time for fashion events while supporting Bret’s demanding career – proof that sometimes the best matches come when we least expect them.
