Megyn Kelly shows off her abs in a crop top as she goes for a boat ride 

Megyn Kelly flashed her toned abs in a sporty crop top while soaking up the sun on a boat in Avalon, New Jersey, on Wednesday, the day before the Fourth of July. 

The 48-year-old, who was ousted from NBC last October for making controversial comments about blackface, looked relaxed while hanging out on her family’s boat. The vessel is named Triumvirate, a term to describe a political regime dominated by three men.   

Megyn is clearly getting into the holiday spirit, as she was seen raising the American flag on their boat before she and her husband Douglas Brunt, 47, sailed out of the harbor together.

The former Fox News host looked right at home on the boat and was dressed for summer in a light blue sports bra and a short white skirt.   

She completed her sporty look with a pair of Nike sneakers, and she shielded her eyes from the sun with dark sunglasses.

The journalist also wore a navy blue Adidas visor that kept her short platinum blonde hair off of her face. 

Megyn’s novelist husband matched her look in a white polo shirt and shorts, which he topped off with a baseball cap and sunglasses.

Before they set sail, the Settle for More author was seen squatting down on the stern of the boat while she adjusted the American flag. 

She looked on as her husband uncoupled the moorings on the oat before he took to the front seat and drove away.

Instead of taking the seat next to him, Megyn opted to stand with her hands holding onto the seats she was standing between.  

The two are likely vacationing in New Jersey with their three children, Edward, nine, Yardley, eight, and Thatcher, five, though it’s unclear where the kids were while their parents enjoyed some alone time on their boat.

The family, who is based in New York City, has been visiting the Garden State for years, and they seem to like that it is more low-key. 

While the Hamptons may be the place for the wealthy to see and be seen in the summer, Megyn has said that she is a Jersey Shore girl at heart.    

‘We’re down at the Jersey Shore during the summer now. Jersey, baby,’ she told USA Today in 2015. 

‘My husband grew up going down there for the summers. It’s been really nice. It’s real people. It’s not too chichi.’

Megyn has kept a relatively low profile since she was fired from NBC last October, but she is said to be eyeing a return to TV to cover the 2020 election.

According to a February report in The New York Post, she could be back on screens as soon as this fall.

‘She needs something good emotionally, intellectually — something that’s good for the whole family,’ a source told the paper, adding that she is interested in reporting on the next presidential election.

Megyn issued a rare public statement last month to congratulate Fox News contributor Guy Benson on his upcoming marriage. 

She told Us Weekly on Wednesday that she’s excited by her former colleague’s engagement to his boyfriend Adam Wise. 

Guy, an author and Republican political pundit, publicly came out as gay during a TV interview with Megyn in 2015.

‘Guy had the challenge of coming out publicly with grace and dignity, and I was honored to be any small part of it,’ she said in her statement. 

‘What’s extraordinary about Guy goes well beyond his personal life, however — his quick wit, intelligence and willingness to fight for his ideals are what have made him a rising star.’ 

She added: ‘I’m thrilled about his upcoming nuptials and wish him and Adam incredible happiness.’

Guy took to Twitter after Megyn’s statement was released to make it known that he and Adam have been engaged for a while now.   

‘Thank you for the kind words @megynkelly… just to be clear, we got engaged more than a year ago! Wedding is upcoming & Megyn was replying to a tweet coinciding with Pride Month,’ he tweeted.
