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.

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.
