Fox News anchor Jacqui Heinrich has never been married

Jacqui Heinrich was thought to have tied the knot in late 2022 after posting wedding pictures. But it was not Jacqui's wedding. Her younger sister Dana Jane was marrying Bryce Snyder, and she took to Instagram to write:

My 2022 highlight: watching my baby sis marry the love of her life. So grateful to be your maid of honour. 

In June 2024, she posted a video of her younger brother, Austin Heinrich, marrying Caren Welker at Virginia-based The Winery at Bull Run. Jacqui has not shared her plans for marriage. She often finds time to spend with her family despite having her hands full as a senior WH Correspondent for Fox News and a member of the WHC Association.
