Laura Ingraham, a prominent face at Fox News, has a rich career but keeps her personal life private.
Born in 1963, she grew up in a working-class family.
After graduating in 1981, she attended the University of Dartmouth, where she became the first female editor of the Dartmouth Review newspaper, facing controversy and a libel lawsuit.
Post-college, Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration, earned her Juris Doctor, and clerked for federal judges.
Her media career started in the mid-1990s, hosting MSNBC’s “Watch It!” and later launching “The Laura Ingraham Show.” In 2017, she became the host of Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
While Ingraham has achieved success in her career, her personal life, especially her relationships, has drawn attention. She dated Dinesh D’Souza and Keith Olbermann, among others. Her engagement to James V Reyes ended tragically in 2005 due to her breast cancer diagnosis, but she emerged cancer-free after treatment.
Ingraham is a strong advocate of adoption, having adopted three children: Maria from Guatemala and Dmitri and Nikolai from Russia. At 60, she continues to balance a thriving career and a commitment to raising her family in Washington, D.C. Despite being a public figure for decades, Ingraham maintains a level of privacy, allowing her professional achievements to take center stage.
