In December 2021, the outspoken conservative personality Kayleigh McEnany praised the Tesla billionaire Elon Musk for referring to Senator Elizabeth Warren as "Senator Karen" in reference to a well-known Internet meme. Always true to her style, McEnany is known for being a religious, conservative role model, a Fox News analyst, and the White House Press Secretary under Donald Trump.

A hard worker, she's a mother and family woman as well and has been enjoying the company of her husband Sean Gilmartin—an MLB pitcher—since 2017. They have one daughter together, born in 2019.

Dana Perino & Peter McMahon - Together Since 1998

The American political commentator Dana Perino was very critical of President Joe Biden in 2021, accusing him (amongst other things) of damaging the power balance in the diplomatic relations between the United States and Vladimir Putin's Russia. Always in the thick of it, the Fox News professional served as George Bush's White House Press Secretary and has been happily married since 1998.

Her husband is the English-American businessman Peter McMahon, with whom she resides in Bay Head, New Jersey. While they don't have any children, they're very passionate about their pet dog Jasper, who sadly passed away in 2021.
