Emily Compagno has been married once. She is divorced now. And as of 2024, she is engaged again. But the Fox News host has never confirmed a single one of those details herself.
The co-host of Outnumbered has built a career on controlled, articulate commentary. It makes sense that she applies the same discipline to her personal life. She doesn’t post about relationships. She doesn’t give interviews about her love life. She simply lives it, and lets the public piece together what they can.
Here’s what we actually know about Emily Compagno’s husband, her marriage, and her new chapter.
The First Husband: Peter Riley
Emily Compagno married Peter Riley on September 13, 2017, at Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, Italy, a clifftop estate on the Amalfi Coast known for its Terrace of Infinity and sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The ceremony was intimate. Close friends and family only. No press. No social media announcement. It was, by all accounts, exactly the kind of wedding a woman who guards her privacy would choose.
The love story behind it was unusual. Compagno and Riley first met as teenagers in the Pacific Northwest. They went their separate ways for nearly two decades, building separate lives and careers. Then, by chance, they ran into each other on a sidewalk in Seattle. That reconnection led to a relationship, and eventually, to marriage.
Peter Riley built a career in real estate, working as a broker at Berkshire Hathaway NW Real Estate in Vancouver, Washington, where he was previously ranked among the top ten agents in Southwest Washington. Before that, he worked in tech, holding account manager roles at Cisco Systems, Palo Alto Networks, and Netskope. His estimated net worth is between $500,000 and $1.5 million.
The Divorce Nobody Announced
The marriage ended quietly. Reports of a split began circulating in late 2024, and by late 2025, public records confirmed the divorce had been finalized. No children were involved. No press release was issued. Compagno simply stopped wearing her wedding ring on air, stopped appearing publicly with Riley, and never addressed it.
The reported catalyst, though unconfirmed, was financial. Multiple outlets reported that Riley faced a federal judgment of approximately $880,000 in unpaid taxes, penalties, and fees, tied to failed cryptocurrency investments and losses connected to a space technology startup. Neither Compagno nor Riley has ever confirmed that this was the reason for the divorce.
The Second Engagement
In August 2024, Emily Compagno confirmed she was engaged again, during an appearance on Fox Business where she and guest Rebecca Walser discussed work-life balance. She was wearing a new ring. She didn’t name the man.
The ring was observed to be a round or cushion-cut diamond, estimated at 1.5 to 2.5 carats, set in a halo with a pavé band in white gold or platinum. She has not publicly identified her fiancé, and given her track record, she may never.
The Misinformation That Won’t Die
If you search Emily Compagno’s name, you will almost certainly find Jon Skoog presented as her husband, ex-husband, or fiancé. This is false.
Jon Skoog is married to Julietta Compagno, Emily’s sister. He is her brother-in-law, nothing more. The confusion appears to stem from the fact that both women share the Compagno name, and the internet has a habit of collapsing two people into one.
The Bottom Line
Emily Compagno was married to Peter Riley from 2017 until their quiet divorce, finalized by 2025. She is now engaged to a man whose identity she has chosen not to share. She has never given an interview about her marriage, her divorce, or her engagement. Every detail in the public record exists because someone noticed a ring, or a record, or an absence.
That’s the point. Emily Compagno decides what the public gets to know. And on this subject, she has decided to give them almost nothing.
