Veteran Fox News anchor Bret Baier is back in the spotlight thanks to his interview with Donald Trump this weekend – but what do we know about his glamorous wife of 2 decades, Amy Baier?
Baier will undoubtedly be back in the headlines now that the interview has aired – so what do we know about the news anchor and his life away from the spotlight? Here’s what you need to know about his wife Amy.
What is Amy Baier’s background?
Amy Baier was born to Paul and Barbie Hills, according to Naples Illustrated. She was raised in a Chicago suburb and has three brothers – including a twin called Danny. “I was always competitive and athletic growing up. I was surrounded by boys and sports,’ she told the publication. “It prepared me for my boys [sons]. They are simple and sweet. But that’s why we got a pandemic girl dog, Coco Chanel, to balance out our household.”
What does Amy Baier do?
After graduating from Southern Methodist University with a degree in communications, Baier moved to New York City to work as a media planner for Calvin Klein, per Naples Illustrated. However she eventually ended up getting into healthcare. “After 9/11, my lease soon ran out and I went back to Chicago to work in a neuroscience retail division at Eli Lilly. My family was in the healthcare business, so switching gears made sense,” she told the media outlet.
Fashion is clearly still a big part of Amy’s life. She’s often pictured attending Dior and Chanel events, and dons head-to-toe designer outfits whenever she’s pictured jet-setting the world or lounging on yachts with her family and friends.
How did Bret Baier meet Amy Baier?
The couple reportedly met on a blind date back in September 2001 after their friends put them up to it, per Country Magazine. “I’m not sure why they thought it would work, but they had a good feeling it would. They did warn me, though, to buckle up – that a life with Brett Baier would be an interesting ride,” she added.
“Bret was such a gentleman. He’s from Atlanta and has that southern charm. We’ve been together ever since,” she added.
When did Bret Baier and Amy Baier get married?
The lovebirds have been together for decades.
They tied the knot in October 2004 in Chicago, per People magazine. “I’ve always wanted to live in Chicago, but Bret says he would only move there if they move the nation’s capital,” Amy told Country Magazine. “I’m a total daddy’s girl with three brothers so he definitely ran the gauntlet during our courtship.”
The duo celebrated their 20th anniversary last October. “Happy 20th Anniversary @bretbaier! I love you! #myeverything,” she wrote in her post, accompanied by a slide show of them out on the town together.
How many children do Bret Baier and Amy Baier have?
Amy and Bret Baier are proud parents to two children: Paul Francis Baier, born in 2007, and Daniel Bret Baier, born in 2010.
Paul, who underwent complicated heart surgery as a baby, continues to live with congenital heart disease today. “We have a saying in the Baier family that ‘gratitude is the attitude,’” Amy told People magazine in May 2024. “We learned that from Paul. Because it’s much easier when you focus on all the things you’re grateful for, rather than what is difficult.”
