Jesse Watters under fire regarding how he claims he met his second wife

 October 19, 2025

Fox News host Jesse Watters is constantly under fire from the left, including his rivals in the liberal media, who are always on the hunt for a negative story about him.

According to the Daily Mail, Watters is now facing criticism -- at least from the radical liberal media -- over the way he reportedly met his now-wife, which included an admission that he let the air out of her tires at work so that she would need a ride home. 

That was reportedly the story that Watters told in a clip on Fox News in 2022, drawing shock from his co-hosts.

The woman, who was 25 at the time, was Emma DiGiovine, who is married to Watters. It was noted that at the time of the alleged tire-deflating incident, Watters was married to another woman who he had also met at work.

What's going on?

In the clip, Watters admits to letting the air out of DiGiovine's tires as they were both leaving work, with the hopes that she would ride home with him, which ultimately worked.

"When I was trying to get Emma to date me, first thing I did, let the air out of her tires," Watters said in the clip. "She couldn't go anywhere, she needed a lift. I said, 'Hey you need a lift?' She got right into the car."

His co-hosts at the time expressed shock at the admission, and Watters admitted that the woman was unaware of his moves at the time it was happening.

Watters would go on to marry DiGiovine in 2019 and then have children together.

A known jokester and overall funny guy, Watters really dug in when his co-hosts peppered him with questions after the admission.

The Daily Mail noted:

Another of his colleagues asked if he had taken the air out of other women's cars in order to get them into his own, which the Fox host implied that he may well have done.

'Is that the first time you did it, or did you use that before?' Jeannine Pirro inquired.

'It works like a charm!' he bragged.

"Insanely predatory"

Watters would later admit that the story was false and that he was just having fun, which is probably true given that he's one of the biggest characters on the network.

That didn't stop the leftwing media from labeling his story as "predatory."

"Not only [was Watters story] insanely creepy and predatory, but Watters also played it off like it was a perfectly normal thing to do," the hosts of the Young Turks show said at the time.

Rest assured, we don't think Watters is losing any sleep over their comments.
