Noelle Watters is a former Fox News fashion and lifestyle writer who was publicly identified by the network as the style host of FNC iMag. She is also known as the former wife of Fox News host Jesse Watters and the mother of their twin daughters. Her surviving Fox work shows a professional identity that predates the divorce coverage for which her name later became widely searched.
Fox News archives place Watters in a visible fashion and lifestyle role by 2008. An August 2008 Fox page described her as “iMag’s style host”, while earlier articles from that year appeared under her byline. Later family reporting identifies her as Noelle Watters, née Inguagiato, and says she and Jesse Watters divorced in 2019. PEOPLE’s 2026 family profile also confirms that the former couple share twin daughters.
Her career at Fox News
Watters’s documented Fox career is more substantial than the shorthand description “Jesse Watters’s ex-wife” suggests. One of the earliest surviving Fox articles under her name, Fashion Myths: Set Your Style Free!, was published on April 1, 2008. Another April article, Dress for Success: Tips and Shopping List, focused on professional wardrobes and practical shopping advice.
By August 2008, Fox was presenting her as the style host of iMag, the network’s lifestyle-oriented web property. Her work covered office clothing, shopping, celebrity style and fashion trends. She was still being described as the “host of iMag Style” in May 2009.
Her role was not limited to styling commentary. In December 2008, Watters published an interview with journalist Lisa Ling, discussing Ling’s National Geographic work, journalism and travel. That article helps define her more accurately as a lifestyle writer and interviewer as well as a fashion personality.
Her own writing occasionally supplied small glimpses of her interest in style. In a November 2008 Fox article about Minnetonka footwear, she recalled moccasins as one of her early fashion statements. It is a modest detail, but one grounded in her own published work rather than in later celebrity-biography summaries.
Some online biographies describe Watters as an anchor on Outnumbered or as a formal style adviser on The O’Reilly Factor. Those descriptions are not well supported by the surviving primary record. Fox’s official 2014 announcement launching Outnumbered names the personalities involved with the new program and does not include Watters. Her securely documented Fox titles are tied to iMag and fashion/lifestyle work.
Marriage to Jesse Watters and their family
Watters later became much more widely known because of her marriage to Jesse Watters, who developed a prominent on-air career at Fox News.
PEOPLE identifies her as Noelle Watters, née Inguagiato, and reports that she and Jesse have twin daughters born in October 2011. Because the children are minors, their existence is relevant to the public family chronology, but additional personal detail is unnecessary to understanding Noelle Watters’s biography.
The exact year of the couple’s wedding is less secure than many online profiles make it appear. Numerous biography sites give 2009, but the stronger material establishes the marriage without fixing a reliably verified wedding date. Fox was already publishing Noelle under the surname Watters in 2008, yet surname usage by itself does not establish when a marriage took place.
The 2017 divorce filing and 2019 divorce
The breakdown of the marriage became public in 2018.
In March of that year, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported, citing the New York Daily News, that Noelle had filed for divorce the previous October. The same report quoted a Fox News spokeswoman as saying that Jesse Watters had voluntarily informed the network’s human-resources department in November 2017 that he was in a consensual relationship with a woman on his staff. Fox said the employee was subsequently transferred to another program.
That chronology is better supported than broader claims about why the marriage ended or what either spouse privately thought about it. The public record establishes the divorce filing, Fox’s statement about the workplace relationship and the eventual end of the marriage; it does not establish Noelle’s private motives, emotional response or the detailed dynamics of the relationship.
PEOPLE’s updated profile says Noelle and Jesse Watters divorced in 2019. The precise finalization date is less firmly established in the material available for this profile, so the year is the safer factual marker.
What is Noelle Watters doing now?
The answer is more complicated than many recent biographies suggest.
Kane Psychology currently lists a Noelle Watters, LMHC, as its therapy clinical director. The practice says that this counselor has a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. Psychology Today also lists Noelle Katherine Watters at the same practice and states that it verified a New York professional credential.
There are reasons to think this may be the same Noelle Watters who worked in fashion and lifestyle media. An indexed professional profile under the same name has linked lifestyle and fashion production experience with later Long Island University study. But the current Kane Psychology and Psychology Today pages do not explicitly identify the counselor as Noelle Inguagiato, Jesse Watters’s former wife or the former FNC iMag host.
That distinction matters because multiple people named Noelle Watters appear in professional directories. The most accurate public-facing description, as of October 2026, is therefore that a Noelle Watters with a fashion/lifestyle background appears to have moved into counseling, but the identity connection is not established strongly enough to present the career transition as an unquestioned fact.
Claims about her age, education and net worth
Several frequently repeated details about Watters are much less secure than her Fox career and family history.
A specific birth date of May 5, 1976 appears across celebrity-biography websites, but it has not been established by an authoritative record in the material supporting this profile. For that reason, her exact age should not be treated as confirmed.
The same caution applies to claims that she earned an undergraduate degree from Fairfield University. That detail is widely repeated, but it lacks the kind of institutional or first-person documentation needed to state it confidently.
Claims about her net worth are weaker still. Figures of roughly $1 million or $1 million to $2 million circulate online, yet they are not backed by disclosed assets, compensation, business ownership, debt or other information that would allow a defensible calculation of personal wealth. There is therefore no reliable public basis for assigning Noelle Watters a specific net-worth figure.
Her present relationship status is also not publicly established in a reliable way. Assertions that she is single, has not remarried or has a new husband should not be treated as fact without stronger confirmation.
What is firmly known about Noelle Watters
The most reliable picture of Noelle Watters is narrower, but also more interesting, than many generic online biographies suggest. She had an independently documented career at Fox News as a fashion and lifestyle writer and FNC iMag style host in the late 2000s. Her work included practical wardrobe advice, celebrity-style coverage and lifestyle interviewing.
She later became publicly associated with Jesse Watters through their marriage and family. They have twin daughters, a divorce filing was reported in 2017, and their divorce was completed in 2019.
What came after her Fox career is less certain. A present-day counselor named Noelle Watters has a professional profile that appears compatible with parts of the former Fox contributor’s background, but the public record does not yet tie the two identities together with enough certainty to erase the distinction.
That makes the strongest biography of Noelle Watters one built around what can actually be documented: her own media work, her public family history and a present-day status that deserves careful qualification rather than speculation.
