Ainsley Earhardt has been married twice. Her first marriage to her college sweetheart, Kevin McKinney, lasted from 2005 until 2009. In 2012, she married former Clemson University quarterback Will Proctor, and their seven-year relationship ended in 2019.
Ainsley Earhardt and Will Proctor married in 2012 in Winter Park, Florida. A former Clemson University quarterback, Proctor is seven years younger than Earhardt. The couple welcomed their daughter, Hayden DuBose Proctor, in November 2015.
Inspired by her experience as a mother, Earhardt wrote two New York Times best-selling children’s books: Take Heart, My Child: A Mother’s Dream (2016) and Through Your Eyes: My Child’s Gift to Me (2017).
According to People Magazine, Earhardt and Proctor's marriage faced public scrutiny when, on October 10, 2018, it was revealed that the couple was separating. Proctor filed for divorce amid allegations of infidelity, which he denied. Their divorce was finalized in 2019. A source close to Earhardt told People Magazine that Proctor:
"Was unfaithful with one of her closest friends a few years ago and there is evidence to prove it,"
Despite their separation, in a media statement, Earhardt said:
"I am fully committed to parenting and doing what is always best for my darling, little girl. And would appreciate privacy and prayers during this difficult time."
