Noelle Watters, née Inguagiato, is a former Fox News fashion and lifestyle contributor best known publicly as the former wife of Fox host Jesse Watters. Long before their divorce became news, however, she had an identifiable media career of her own. Fox’s archive shows her writing about fashion, offering practical style advice and serving as FNC iMag’s style host by 2008.
She and Jesse Watters later had twin daughters, Sophie and Ellie, who were born on October 7, 2011. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2019. Beyond those well-documented facts, parts of Noelle Watters’ biography have become cluttered with conflicting dates and unsupported claims, particularly around her age, wedding date and present-day life.
Noelle Watters’ Fox News career
The clearest record of Noelle Watters’ professional life comes from Fox News itself. Her bylined fashion work was appearing on the network’s website by April 2008, including service-oriented articles aimed at helping readers make practical clothing choices.
By August 2008, Fox explicitly described her as FNC iMag’s “style host”. The role involved more than appearing on camera. Fox promoted her as someone viewers could turn to with workplace wardrobe questions, placing her at the intersection of styling, digital publishing and audience advice.
Her articles show the same practical focus. In “Fashion Myths Debunked”, published in October 2008, Watters wrote directly to readers about conventional fashion rules and how they could be rethought. Her tone was conversational rather than formal, with an emphasis on making style easier to use in everyday life.
Her work also extended beyond fashion tips. In December 2008, she published a Q&A with journalist Lisa Ling, showing that her role included editorial interviewing as well as styling and lifestyle content.
Fox was still identifying her as a fashion authority in 2009. An April article referred to her as a beauty and style expert, while a May 2009 piece described her as the “host of iMag Style”.
That record is more precise than the broad labels often attached to her online. She was not documented primarily as a political commentator or mainstream news anchor. Her established niche was fashion, style and lifestyle media.
Her marriage to Jesse Watters and their children
Noelle Watters is also known through her former marriage to Jesse Watters. PEOPLE identifies her as Noelle Watters, née Inguagiato, and reports that the former couple share twin daughters, Sophie and Ellie.
The twins were born on October 7, 2011. That date is worth stating carefully because some online biographies give a different birthday. PEOPLE’s updated family profile uses October 7 and also refers to a birthday post marking the twins’ 13th birthday on October 7, 2024.
The exact year Noelle and Jesse married is less clear. A 2009 wedding date is frequently repeated online, but it is not secure enough to present as settled fact. Fox was already publishing her under the surname Watters in 2008, and a November 2008 iMag article quoted her referring to “my husband” without naming him.
What can be said confidently is simpler: Noelle and Jesse Watters were married, had twin daughters together and divorced in 2019.
What happened during the divorce?
Contemporary coverage places the start of the divorce process in 2017.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in March 2018, citing the New York Daily News, that Noelle had filed for divorce the previous October. The original court filing was not part of that published account, so October 2017 is best treated as a reported filing date rather than an independently established court date here.
The same Inquirer report carried a statement from Fox saying Jesse Watters 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 management subsequently transferred the employee to another program.
Those events are often compressed online into a simple explanation for the end of the marriage. The chronology does not by itself establish Noelle’s private reasons for filing, however. The defensible sequence is that her divorce filing was reported as occurring in October 2017, Fox said Jesse disclosed the workplace relationship the following month, and the marriage ended in 2019.
What is Noelle Watters doing now?
This is the area where the public record becomes less certain.
Kane Psychology currently lists a Noelle Watters as a mental-health counselor and therapy clinical director. The practice says that its Noelle Watters earned a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University and works with children, adolescents, adults and families.
Psychology Today lists the same professional more fully as Noelle Katherine Watters and associates her with Kane Psychology.
There are reasons to think this may be the same Noelle Watters who worked in Fox’s fashion and lifestyle operation. A publicly indexed LinkedIn profile with the same name combines a fashion/lifestyle background with later Long Island University study. But the current professional pages do not explicitly identify the counselor as Noelle Inguagiato or as Jesse Watters’ former wife.
For that reason, it is safer to say that a current professional record strongly points toward a counseling career but does not conclusively bridge the two identities in a primary public biography.
Which details about Noelle Watters remain uncertain?
Several facts repeated across celebrity-biography sites are much less secure than they appear.
An exact birth date is one example. May 5, 1976 is widely published online, but stronger public records tied directly to her career and family do not establish that date. Her exact age therefore should not be treated as confirmed.
The same caution applies to claims that she worked as an anchor on Outnumbered, that she owns a particular interior-design business, or that a detailed list of early employers belongs to her. Fox’s own archive supports her iMag fashion and lifestyle work; it does not establish all of the broader résumé claims attached to her elsewhere.
There is also no dependable public basis for assigning her a current net worth, naming a present partner, saying she has or has not remarried, or identifying a current home address. Those claims are often presented with confidence on biography sites despite weak sourcing.
A public profile defined by more than her marriage
Noelle Watters remains widely searched because of her connection to Jesse Watters, but the strongest material about her shows a separate professional identity. By 2008 she was writing fashion content, advising viewers and serving as Fox’s iMag style host, with work that ranged from practical wardrobe guidance to editorial interviews.
Her later family history is clearer than many of the personal details repeated online: she and Jesse Watters share twin daughters born on October 7, 2011, their divorce filing was reported in 2017, and the divorce was completed in 2019.
What came after appears to include a move toward mental-health counseling, but that part of her story still carries an identity caveat. The safest picture of Noelle Watters is therefore a focused one: a former Fox fashion and lifestyle professional with a documented media career of her own, a well-established family connection to Jesse Watters, and a present-day public record that is considerably more limited than many online biographies suggest.
