NEW YORK — June 15, 2025
In a revelation that has left fans, colleagues, and political watchers doing a double-take, Fox News host and former judge Jeanine Pirro has officially confirmed she is in a new relationship — and the identity of her partner is sending shockwaves through media circles.
During a surprise closing segment on The Five this afternoon, Pirro shared the news with her trademark blend of candor and style:
“After a long chapter of healing and reflection, I’m finally ready to say it: I’ve found someone. And no — you won’t believe who it is.”
That “someone,” Pirro revealed moments later, is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advisor and former federal prosecutor Thomas Whitaker — a name few expected to be linked romantically to the outspoken conservative commentator.
💥 Why This Is So Shocking
Whitaker, 62, is a respected legal strategist known for his work in bipartisan justice reform and, more recently, as a senior legal advisor to the RFK Jr. independent campaign. He is also known for keeping an extremely low profile and has never previously been linked to public romantic speculation.
The two reportedly met at a judicial symposium in late 2023, reconnected in early 2024 during a veterans’ advocacy event in D.C., and have been quietly spending time together ever since.
🗣️ Pirro on the Relationship
“He challenges me, he listens to me — and most of all, he makes me laugh,” Pirro said, tearing up slightly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this grounded.”
She added that the relationship blossomed in private:
“No headlines, no pressure. Just real conversations — and a lot of shared dinners we cooked ourselves.”
💬 Reactions Roll In
Social media exploded with reactions ranging from stunned curiosity to genuine celebration.
-
“Judge Jeanine has a Dem-adjacent boyfriend? Now that’s the bipartisan news we didn’t see coming.”
-
“Honestly, I’m happy for her. She’s been through a lot. Let her live.”
Fellow Fox News co-hosts reportedly knew about the relationship but kept it quiet out of respect. Greg Gutfeld was seen grinning during the segment, joking afterward:
“Can we get a reality show? Justice & Thomas has a ring to it.”
💞 What’s Next
While Pirro says she and Whitaker are “taking things one step at a time,” she hinted that their shared legal backgrounds and “opposing-yet-compatible views” have made for some very interesting dinner table debates.
“We may not always agree,” she smiled, “but we believe in each other.”
And with that, Jeanine Pirro reminded the nation that it’s never too late for second chances — in love, in life, and in the most unexpected places.
