Fox Business anchor Liz Claman and MSNBC managing editor Jeff Kepnes have split after 24 years of marriage, multiple sources told Page Six.
The outlet reports that the breakup is amicable, with a friend of the couple sharing that they “quietly separated in 2023.” According to Page Six, Claman hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring on the air in recent months.
Claman, 61, and Kepnes, 58, started their relationship while working together in local news, at Boston’s WHDH TV. They tied the knot in 1999 at the Beverly Hills Hotel and now share two teenage children.
Fox News and MSNBC declined to comment on the report.
Claman worked at CNBC before moving to Fox in 2007. She has anchored her namesake program, The Claman Countdown, on Fox Business Network since 2008.
Kepnes worked at MSNBC for several years before becoming a senior producer at CNN from 2003 to 2017. He then returned to MSNBC as the managing editor for Morning Joe, hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
While their separation may be on friendly terms, the ratings battle between the former couple’s respective networks is as heated as ever.
On Feb. 26, the New York Post reported that Fox & Friends is pulling in twice as many viewers as Morning Joe. The MSNBC program has lost about half its viewership since Donald Trump won the presidential election in November.
