Fox News host Jessica Tarlov takes a break from The Five following intense backlash
Jessica Tarlov has taken a break from her hosting duties on The Five.
The 42-year-old Democratic Party strategist, who regularly appears on Fox News’ hit talk show The Five, used her Instagram over the weekend to reveal how she has been spending her downtime. Jessica, recognized for her liberal viewpoints, posted a photograph of herself snuggling up to her husband, hedge fund executive Brian McKenna.

The couple, who tied the knot in May 2021, appeared as smitten as ever while posing against a tropical setting. It comes after Greg Gutfeld rolled his eyes and clashed with Tarlov in a heated on-air debate.

In the main image of Jessica’s post, she appeared completely different from her typical Fox News persona, wearing a green-and-white striped midi dress adorned with a banana leaf design.
She completed her ensemble with studded peach-colored sandals and her trademark black wide-brimmed glasses. Her brown bob was styled to one side as she flashed a radiant smile at the camera.
Brian appeared stylish in a white-and-blue pinstriped button-up shirt, matched with white trousers and beige slip-on footwear. Jessica included another selfie with her husband, capturing them striking a playful pose for the camera.
In the cheerful photograph, Jessica donned a white-and-green beach ensemble with green sunglasses, while Brian wore a yellow slogan T-shirt and held a cup featuring a cartoon bear design.
Another picture of the pair showed them posing next to one another again; this time, Jessica wore a white-and-black ombre jumpsuit, which she accessorized with a blue gummy bear clutch bag.
Cuddled up next to her was Brian, who matched his wife’s monochrome style in a navy-and-white striped T-shirt under a navy blazer, paired with cream pants. He added a pair of brown suede loafers.
The final slide featured a video of the pair swimming and having a great time beneath a waterfall. “Quick getaway to the most beautiful place on earth with my favorite guy,” Jessica captioned the post.
Jessica had traveled to Lanai, an island in Hawaii, to attend a friend’s wedding. Fans wasted no time flooding the comments section with praise for Jessica. One user wrote, “What a gorgeous couple,” while another chimed in, “You’re an absolute legend! Beautiful couple.”
“Handsome fella, Jess, you look amazing,” remarked a third fan. A fourth gushed, “So happy for you! ! ! You work super hard – gotta play and relax harder!!!”
“Stunning duo. Jessica, you deserve a lovely getaway. Hope you both enjoy such divine, breathtaking scenery! !” This comes after Fox News viewers threatened to tune out whenever Jessica appears on screen due to her outspoken views on the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is eyeing up a popular Fox News host as Karoline Leavitt’s replacement.
