Jesse Watters, 39, is in the midst of a divorce fight with his wife of nine years Noelle, after admitting to an affair with his 25-year-old associate producer Emma DiGiovine, the New York Daily News reported on Saturday.

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 in October, sources told the outlet.

DiGiovine was transferred to work for The Ingraham Angle, but she and Watters have 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 newspaper.

Watters married Noelle Inguagiato in 2009. They also met on the job at Fox News.

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.

In 2011, the couple had a pair of twin daughters. Noelle never returned from maternity leave, while Watters’ star rose at Fox News.

Attorneys for both Noelle and Jesse Watters did not comment to the Daily News, and a woman at DiGiovine’s New Jersey home declined to comment.

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 got his weekly show in January 2017. He is seen top left in a still from Saturday’s episode, much of which was preempted by a rally speech from Trump in Pennsylvania

According to her LinkedIn profile, DiGiovine became Watters’ associate producer in June 2016, when his segment was still part of O’Reilly’s show.

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 outsted in September over sexual harassment allegations.

Watters is said to be a favorite cable news personality of President Donald Trump, and even dined with the commander-in-chief on Monday.

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!’
