Guilfoyle joined Fox News in 2006 as a legal analyst and weekend host. Prior to her television career, she worked as an attorney in San Francisco and was married to Gavin Newsom, a Democrat who was then San Francisco mayor and is now California’s lieutenant governor.

She is currently in a relationship with President Donald Trump ’s son Donald Trump Jr.

Last year, she was rumored to be a candidate to replace then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer and expressed interest in the role . She had also met with Trump officials  during his presidential transition in 2016 to discuss the role. 

“I’m a patriot, and it would be an honor to serve the country,” she said last year in an interview with Bay Area News Group . “I think it’d be a fascinating job, it’s a challenging job, and you need someone really determined and focused, a great communicator in there with deep knowledge to handle that position.”
