Dive into Emily Compagno's unexplored conjugal life: The attorney-turned-host is happily married!    

Emily Compagno, best known for co-hosting the daytime talk show Outnumbered on Fox News Channel, is a woman of many talents. Besides being a household face- thanks to her long-going stint on television, Compagno is also an attorney and a former NFL cheerleader.  

Born on November 9, 1979, in Oak Knoll Naval Hospital, Oakland, California, Emily holds a degree in political science from the esteemed University of Washington. She is also an alumnus of the University of San Francisco School of Law, where she had a distinctive collegiate experience as a President of the Federalist Society.  

Is Emily Compagno Married?   

As Compagno climbs the steep ladder of celebrity in an industry that dominantly consists of men, she, along the way, garners an inundated amount of attention into her personal life. Her male peers might not be subjected to the same fans' curiosity, but that's how it is.

It appears that Compagno started working on her personal and professional life coincidingly. Although the Fox co-host has only shared a handful of intel about her personal life over the years, several insider reports allude to Compagno's blissful conjugal life.  

The Outnumbered co-host is married to Peter Riley, who might not be a public figure like Compagno but as per sources, holds a pretty high-profile position in Netskope. The NFL cheerleader-turned-Fox-News cohost, and Riley go back to their college days.

Emily was reportedly pursuing her political science degree at the University of Washington when she fell in love with Riley, who was enrolled in the same major. Riley is the same as Compagno and hails from Portland. 

Although some believe that Compagno and Riley struck a romance during their collegiate years, some sources refute the claim as the pair were reportedly acquainted with each other as teenagers.     

Emily's eclectic career, from an NFL cheerleader, then an attorney, to a news host, has put her in the spotlight for a long time! 

It may not have been love at first sight for the two, but they certainly fell in love at second sight when life reconnected them years later in Seattle. Despite fans' growing interest in the Fox co-host's love story, Compagno has remained fairly mum about sharing anything more than necessary, but from what we've found, Emily and Riley's relationship was a whirlwind affair.  

The Outnumbered star and Riley, who previously worked as a data analyst, and now works as a real estate agent, rushed in their romance. The duo reportedly walked down the aisle after enjoying a year of dating bliss. The loved-up couple tied the knot on September 13, 2017, in a picturesque ceremony at the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, Italy.

Since falling in love and seeing their relationship transpire into a conjugal bond, both Compagno and Riley have come far in their career aspirations. While Emily nabbed the position of a contributor and legal analyst at Fox News a year after her wedding and later catapulted to become cohost. 

"The common denominator in my background is I was always pursuing a passion mixed with an opportunity," Emily said of her journey after being named the new co-host.

Peter, in his pursuit, also went on from being a data analyst to a reputed real estate agent. The Fox News host is active on her social media pages but hardly shares snippets of her happy conjugal life. In a rare interview, the former NFL cheerleader gushed about Riley, saying she loves him for "his intelligence, sense of humour, and kind heart."     

Is Emily Compagno Expecting a Baby?  

The heavy spotlight on Compagno's professional life often puts her private life on the same pedestal. Even though Compagno and fellow celebs like her maintain their reticence to protect their personal life from scathing media exposure, the approach sometimes backfires on them as rumours mills come out with their own story.

Since rising to fame, the former attorney and now a new host, 44, has been subjected to many such groundless rumours, including speculations of divorce, and now of pregnancy. As much as fans would like to see their favourite Fox cohost as a mother and share her sweet parenting anecdotes on the panel, we don't see it happening anytime soon.   

Compagno and her beloved husbanb are yet to embark on the journey of parenthood and the reason can be one of the two. Either the cohost and real estate agent pair are too focused on their career trajectory to care about starting a family, or they are busy savouring their relatively new marriage and want to save the kids for later.
