In April, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade and former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo traded insults on X over their perception of “SignalGate”.
After US national security adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added a journalist to a Signal group chat discussing air strikes on Yemen, his carelessness sparked widespread discussions about cybersecurity and the mishandling of classified information.

Watch @cnn @msnbc @ABCPolitics all try to Russiafy this #signal story- wont work - @realDonaldTrump moving too quick with substantial orders and legislation to be gummed up in it….and American people see the pattern - wont tolerate it-
Agree? Weigh in
— Brian Kilmeade (@kilmeade) March 27, 2025

Kilmeade claimed that the press was trying to make a spectacle of the controversy as a distraction. “Watch @cnn @msnbc @ABCPolitics all try to Russiafy this #signal story – won’t work,” he wrote on X.
NewsNation’s Cuomo replied: “This is a propagandist,” which struck a nerve with Kilmeade. “You are a discredited ego maniac who no one watches. Sorry I can’t be more like your idol @donlemon,” Kilmeade retorted, alluding to the way Cuomo dealt with his brother Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment controversy and the allegations of ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon’s misogyny.
The war of words renewed attention on Kilmeade and his personal life. So, what do we know about his wife, Dawn Kilmeade, who prefers to stay firmly out of the spotlight?
What is Dawn Kilmeade’s background?

Dawn Kilmeade (née DeGaetano) is a New York native, per Distractify. She grew up with a sister, Denise Durso, as noted in her mum’s obituary. She also went to Hofstra University, according to the Massapequa Herald Post.
What does she do for work?

Dawn Kilmeade runs a clothing store called Wild Willows Boutique in Massapequa with her friend, fellow Hofs­tra graduate and business partner Kathy Camada, per the Massapequa Herald Post. The outlet describes their brand’s aesthetic as “contemporary casual”. The two women were encouraged by their daughters to start the venture. However, Kilmeade has admitted to having difficulty balancing her professional and her personal life. “To balance the family and this business has been a struggle, espe­cially around the holidays,” she said.
Her relationship with Brian Kilmeade

According to Distractify, Brian and Dawn Kilmeade met while in high school and fell in love. They married in 1993 and have been together ever since. The couple are parents to son Bryan, born in the late 90s, and daughters Kaitlyn and Kirstyn, born in 2002 and 2004, respectively.
All three children have careers in sports: Bryan is a football operations manager for the United Football League, per his LinkedIn, and the Kilmeade sisters play football. The family lives in Massapequa, New York, per Brian’s website.
