Pete Hegseth<\/strong> has lived a life in the public eye for years. As an established television personality and political commentator, viewers took an interest in Hegseth\u2019s personal life. Although the former Fox News co-anchor tends to keep his family away from the public eye, he has opened up about his children in past interviews and, occasionally, on social media.<\/p>\n In his book, The War on Warriors<\/em>, Hegseth encouraged his sons to join the military when they\u2019re older. One excerpt<\/a> from his letter reads, \u201cIf you take that oath, I hope you take it all the way. Your dad didn\u2019t know the difference between the Army and the Marine Corps when he joined. I was not from a military family. But when you join, you will know. And I would urge you to join the best. The SEALs. The Rangers. The Green Berets. Marine Raiders.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI urge you in this consideration to show courage. You are men. Act like it,\u201d Hegseth wrote in another portion of his letter to his kids. \u201cBut if you choose not to serve in uniform, that is your choice. Then my charge for you is to fight and lead at home \u2014 because our war is on all fronts. I love you boys \u2014 and pray that your fight, like mine, means your kids (and may you have many!) and my grandkids live in an America that honors God, cherishes freedom, celebrates families, and lives in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n Hegseth is a father and a stepfather to seven children in total.<\/p>\n Hegseth is married to his current wife, Jennifer Rauchet<\/a><\/strong>.The spouses wed in 2019. Previously, Hegseth was married to his second wife, Samantha Deering<\/strong>, from 2010 until they split in 2017 after Jennifer, who would become his third wife, gave birth to her and Hegseth\u2019s first child.<\/p>\n From 2004 to 2009, Hegseth was married to his first wife, Meredith Schwarz.\u00a0<\/strong>The two were high school sweethearts. After Hegseth admitted to having multiple affairs, he and Schwarz divorced, according to The New Yorker<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n Hegseth has four biological children and three stepchildren. He shares one daughter with his currently wife, Jennifer, and shares three other kids with his ex-wife Deering. Hegseth is also a stepdad to Jennifer\u2019s three children.<\/p>\n \n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
