Her Married Life, Husband, and Divorce

She had married her husband, Albert Pirro, a lobbyist in 1975, but after 32 years into their troublesome marriage, she has decided to call it quits with him in November 2007. A series of events occurred before their divorce leading her to divorce her husband. The couple has two children, a son, and a daughter.

First, it was the whole thing with her husband being charged with 34 counts of Tax Evasion and Conspiracy on June 2003 where after being convicted had to serve 11 months in prison.

Then there was the time that he was suspected of having an affair with Lisa Santangelo in 2006 with his lawyer’s wife. Of course, this was never proved because a tape which she planned to plant on her husband's boat that also included Jeanine plotting to plant a recording device on a boat owned by her husband was released to the media.

So, the couple decided to split, finalizing their divorce in 2013. While the couple must have had a lot of things to tell each other after 32 years of marriage, but since throwing dirt will hamper both of their images, they probably settled the divorce subtly.

Where is She Now?

She seems to be currently moving on with her life. She isn’t seen with another partner so she must be busy with her career.

Well, her show, Justice with Judge Jeanine was on air at 9 pm every Saturday on Fox News until 9th March 2019. But, all hell broke loose when she allegedly made Islamophobic remarks on her show.

Jeanine read out a scripted commentary questioning Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's patriotism. Fox news which supposedly lets remarks against the minorities pass, was rather staunch on its stand about putting her show on hold. There was no word about when the show would make its return. 

Before the controversy, her show’s rating was on a rise since Trump was elected as the president. Jeanine’s support towards the country head was known for the sudden rise in the audience of the show.

Well, even the president was worried about the program put on hold. He tweeted his support for Jeanine and her show on 17th March 2019. The rich man saw no problem in her alleged Islamophobic remarks and blamed too much political correctness for the controversy.
