Laura Ingraham, a leading conservative voice at Fox News, has built a significant career while keeping much of her personal life under wraps. Born in 1963, she grew up in a working-class family and attended Dartmouth College, graduating in 1985.

There, she became the first female editor of the Dartmouth Review, a conservative publication, which stirred controversy and led to a libel lawsuit.

After college, Ingraham worked as a speechwriter in the Reagan administration, went on to earn her Juris Doctor, and clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Her media journey began in the mid-1990s with MSNBC’s Watch It! before launching her radio show, The Laura Ingraham Show. In 2017, she became host of The Ingraham Angle on Fox News.

Though never married, Ingraham has had notable relationships, including engagements to Dinesh D’Souza and James V. Reyes, the latter ending after her breast cancer diagnosis. A strong advocate for adoption, Ingraham adopted three children from Guatemala and Russia. Now 60, she balances her career with raising her children in Washington, D.C.
