Fox News commentator Lisa Kennedy Montgomery announced her engagement during the December 10 episode of The Five. As the co-hosts shared their excitement, a photo of Kennedy and her mystery man—identified only as Fred. Meanwhile, the 53-year-old gave viewers a quick flash of her new engagement bling, holding her hand up to the camera with a triumphant grin.
The announcement came at the end of the show, following a discussion segment. Kennedy confirmed the proposal happened after the Fox News Christmas party, but didn’t share Fred’s last name, background, or a wedding timeline.
Co-host Dana Perino shared how she learned about the engagement earlier that day, describing an emotional off-camera moment. “And I’m just about to go back on air like, Kennedy got engaged last night,” she said, before adding with a laugh, “I cried because I’m so happy for you. You are the best. I’m so happy for you.” Turns out even seasoned broadcasters can’t keep it together when love’s in the air!
