In March 2018, news broke that Jesse Watters’ marriage to Noelle Inguagiato was coming to an end after finding out about his affair with Emma DiGiovine, a 25-year-old associate producer working with him at the time. According to the New York Daily News, after Inguagiato filed for divorce in October 2017, Jesse informed Fox News of his relationship with DiGiovine. In a bid to control the situation, Fox immediately transferred DiGiovine out of Jesse’s station. “Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily reporting to the Chief of Human Resources in November 2017 that he was in a consensual relationship with a woman on his staff, management met with both parties and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network where she currently remains,” a rep for the network said in a statement. Eventually, however, DiGiovine left Fox to pursue other interests.

On the other hand, Jesse and Inguagiato followed through with their divorce, which was finalized in March 2019. Though their divorce was slated to go to trial, the estranged couple opted for an out-of-court settlement, as reported by Daily Mail. “As will happen, the parties called the court this morning and explained that the case settled,” a court official revealed to Daily News.
