Despite colleagues taking note of their romance, the two haven’t confirmed their relationship to coworkers and have been keeping it under wraps, according to Vanity Fair.
Through a Fox News spokesperson, Hannity, 58, told DailyMail.com: ‘I do not discuss my personal life in public.’
Ainsley Earhardt also issued a statement through a spokesperson saying: ‘Right now I am focused on raising my daughter and I am not dating anyone.
‘As anyone at FOX News will tell you, Sean is a wonderful person and whomever he chooses to date will be extremely fortunate.’
A source also told Page Six rumors began to swirl after Earhardt was spotted near Hannity’s home during lockdown after renting a house in the Hamptons.
‘Sean has a studio at his home, and Ainsley has been using his studio as her remote broadcast location for Fox & Friends,’ the source said.
Another insider said the two have been staying together in Oyster Bay and are ‘100 percent dating’.

Meanwhile, Earhardt and ex-husband Will Proctor, divorced in 2018.

A family friend explained to DailyMail.com that Hannity and Rhodes still have a great co-parenting relationship and when together, ‘you don’t even realize they split’.
The insider said Hannity took the divorce hard and blamed it on his endless workload, saying the cable news host ‘didn’t slow down, [and] it, unfortunately, broke his marriage.’
The close friend told DailyMail.com that the exes still see each other frequently, recently getting together with their son Patrick, who is in college, and daughter Merri Kelly, who just graduated high school.
They said: ‘Friends and family have known for years.
‘Our families were together as recently as Christmas 2018 when Jill hosted his birthday party at their Florida home.
‘Sean and Jill are great parents, when together you don’t even realize they split.
‘Jill’s brother, Sean’s brother-in-law, still works with Sean on his TV show.
‘Personally the reason for the divorce, Sean does three hours of radio each day in the city followed by TV in primetime, his workload created a lot of time away and it was tough on the marriage.
‘Sean’s a huge family man, this was hard on him.
‘Sean came from nothing, had a workaholic upbringing and between his shows, books, speeches he just didn’t slow down, it, unfortunately, broke his marriage.’
In a statement provided to Page Six, the former spouses provided a joint statement that said: ‘Sean and Jill are committed to working together for the best interests of their children.
‘Amicable agreements were entered into over four years ago between Sean and Jill.
‘They maintain a close relationship as parents to their children.
‘Neither will have any further comments and ask for the sake of their children that their privacy be respected.’
The couple used to share a home on Long Island and a home in Naples, Florida.
A source denied to Page Six that either had been involved with other people at the time of their separation.
