Fox News viewers know Bret Baier as a trusted journalist, but his personal love story with wife Amy might be his most compelling narrative yet. Their twenty-year marriage, which began with a hesitant blind date, is capturing public fascination – especially as Bret’s recent high-profile interview with Donald Trump puts him back in the spotlight.
The year was 2001 when a mutual friend played matchmaker between Chicago healthcare professional Amy and the Atlanta-bred newsman. Amy admits she wasn’t looking for romance at the time, having recently left her glamorous job as a Calvin Klein media planner in New York after 9/11. “I’m competitive and athletic – grew up with three brothers – so I wasn’t sure about this setup,” Amy told Naples Illustrated. Their friend’s intuition proved perfect.
Bret’s Southern charm worked its magic immediately. “He was such a gentleman,” Amy recalls of their first meeting. That initial spark ignited a partnership that’s weathered two decades in the public eye while raising their two sons. Amy still indulges her fashion roots by attending elite runway shows, proving their marriage beautifully blends their different worlds.
