The 49-year-old anchor tweeted to hint at her surprise revealing on live Television during Thursday night's show and wrote, "Tune into @gutfeldfox tonight at 11 pm ET.

Who is Andrew Sansone?

Andrew Sansone, 55, is a financial advisor for Allied Wealth Partners. The firm "provides financial security for individuals and businesses in the form of insurance." The 18-year Fox veteran and Sansone were married at the age of 35 and 42, respectively, in 2009 at New York City's Fifth. On December 9, 2022,  Banderas announced on Twitter her split from Sansone saying that he was soon going to be her "ex" while she responded to a fan remarking that the pair had left them in "stitches."

'Hope someone gets her flowers'

Internet quickly ran to respond to Banderas' announcement of her divorce. A Twitter user wrote, "Poor woman. Hope someone gets her flowers" while another slammed the Fox anchor and wrote, "Not sure I’d describe this as iconic. Lots of oversharing in today’s society and also, using personal stuff as publicity and monetizing situations that are better kept private. Just my opinion, it’s her marriage, or once was."

"Funny stuff. Pretty bitter to say the least," a user opined and another wrote, "I admit it took a moment to figure out if it was part of the bit or not. Well done!"



 



 



 



 

"You've been hinting at it for a bit. May you all get through it stronger and happier," a user wrote and someone remarked, "Julie, you are always "brutally" honest: Thank you for sharing the latest step of your journey!" and another wrote, "Classic! The announcement came out as smooth as warm butter. Nobody was expecting that. Greg’s face told it all!!"
