His ex-wife was the Fox News Washington, DC bureau chief until she left because of marital squabbling.
Then there rumors that Hume was having an affair with Megyn Kelly, and since then he and his wife have divorced.

“Then there rumors that Hume was having an affair with Megan Kelly...”
That’s Humiliating!
She's given more Lewinskys than Monica..she just gt mad at the end and threatened to sue when she didn't get the money she wanted from Fox (supposedly)
I think the key news here is there were settlements that BOR personally paid, not FOX. The point is where FOX paid for Ailes imbroglios he accepted the company to litigate and they signed the check (hence the SEC disclosures)and the representation is by the company, not Ailes. So, when BOR through an attorney did his own settlements, he has a non disclosure part of the settlement and Fox does not have access to the info.
IMO, the recent allegations or the ones to come are not subject to non disclosure if they are outside BOR’s settlements. That is how the info may get out. Regardless, if none of the heretofore unknown harassment charges are not within the scope of employer/employee relationships, FOX, for firing BOR (well call it a buyout) will be on the hook for much money when and if BOR sues them for breach of contract, public humiliation, and slander.
This is going to play out over many years.
Brit Hume was a bit slimy, promoting his mistress. But having an affair is not going to get someone fired.
BOR was not having “an affair.” He was using his authority to trade offers for sex, or simply abusing his senior relationship (having unwanted phone sex with subordinates). BOR was engaging in UNWANTED repeated sexual harassment of the worst kind. Even after having to pay out huge settlements. A serial predator.
Hume is already out - he lost his spot to Bret (Bear) and now just does guest apparences - which are easy to end.
