The estranged wife of Fox News commentator Jesse Watters is demanding he pay for her legal fees, a year after she filed for divorce.
Court records seen by DailyMail.com reveal Noelle Watters, 42, filed a motion on October 1, seeking counsel fees from her estranged husband while the case is pending.
The judge presiding over the case is yet to make a decision.
Noelle filed for divorce last October, but news of couple’s split was not made public until March of this year.
Watters, 40, admitted to cheating on his wife with 25-year-old associate producer Emma DiGiovine, who worked on his show Watters’ World.

Watters has his own show, Watters’ World and also replaced Eric Bolling on The Five last year
The up-and-coming Fox News star, who just landed his own show last year, told his bosses about the affair shortly after Noelle filed for divorce, sources previously said.
Noelle, maiden name Inguagiato, met Watters on the job and the two married in 2009.
He was working for Bill O’Reilly’s show and she worked for the advertising and promotions department and was the host of a web show called iMag Style.
She gave birth to their twin daughters in 2011, but never returned from maternity leave.
After Watters revealed his affair with DiGiovine, she was transferred to work for The Ingraham Angle, but the pair continued to date, sources said.
‘Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily reporting to the Chief of Human Resources in November 2017 that he was in a consensual relationship with a woman on his staff, management met with both parties and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network where she currently remains,’ a Fox News spokeswoman told the Daily News.

According to her LinkedIn profile, DiGiovine became Watters’ associate producer in June 2016, when his segment was still part of O’Reilly’s show.
Known for his brash, macho and sometimes obnoxious style, Watters hosted a segment on the O’Reilly Factor that combined man-on-the street with ambush journalism.
Watters’ humorous approach fell flat at times, such as in an October 2016 segment he filmed in New York City’s Chinatown. It was panned as ‘racist’ after he wandered the streets asking locals if they knew karate and how often their watches were stolen.
The segment, Watters’ World, was spun out into a weekly show in January 2017. It airs at 8pm on Saturdays, combining humor and political news in a fresh slant aimed at a younger audience.
When O’Reilly was ousted from the network in April 2017, over revelations that he’d secretly settled numerous sexual harassment suits, Watters also replaced Eric Bolling on The Five. Bolling himself was ousted last September over sexual harassment allegations.

Trump asked Watters and former aide Sebastian Gorka to dinner at the White House because ‘he couldn’t get enough of them on TV’, one source told the Daily Beast.
Trump even signed the menu, which Watters tweeted a picture of. It read: ‘To Jesse you are great!’
