Stephanie Ruhle is widely recognized as the host of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC. But how did this powerhouse journalist cross paths with her now-husband, Andrew Hubbard?
Their story began during a global training program at Credit Suisse in the late ‘90s. Picture two ambitious, driven individuals meeting in the high-stakes world of finance, where the deadlines were tight and the coffee never stopped flowing. It didn’t take long for their professional connection to turn into something much more personal.
Along the way, there were a few lighthearted moments. Stephanie once shared a funny memory about introducing Andrew to her parents. Back in high school, she sported what she jokingly refers to as her “Jersey giant hair.” Before that first introduction, she made sure to hide any photographic evidence. As she put it,
When I took my husband to meet my parents for the 1st time, I hid all of my Jersey giant hair high school pix. I (like Dr. Seuss) didn’t really wanna take that look w/me into the future, so I retired it. End of story. No one got cancelled.
On September 21, 2002, the two officially tied the knot.
By 2015, their strong partnership earned them a spot among Wall Street’s hottest duos—a title that didn’t surprise anyone who knew them. Since then, they’ve built a full life together in New York City, balancing demanding careers, raising kids, and keeping up with the nonstop pace of it all.
Life at home is anything but quiet with their three children: Harrison, born in 2006, Reese, born in 2009, and Drew, born in 2013. While Stephanie continues to thrive in the media world, Andrew has shifted gears into tech entrepreneurship, now juggling his roles as co-CEO of HausMart and CFO at VeriCarbon Inc.
Stephanie Ruhle’s Husband Knows How To Keep Things Interesting
While Stephanie handles the weekday headlines at MSNBC, weekends bring a whole different rhythm for the family, thanks to Andy. On Long Beach Island—just a few hours from the nonstop buzz of New York—they’ve found their perfect escape.
Andy steps into weekend dad mode, taking the lead with Harrison, Reese, and Drew. Whether it’s sailing, beach games, or simply soaking up the sun, he makes sure the kids enjoy every bit of their time by the shore.

That balance between city hustle and laid-back beach weekends is what keeps things grounded for the Ruhle-Hubbard crew. With the energy of Manhattan during the week and the calm of LBI on weekends, they’ve carved out a lifestyle that many would call the perfect mix of work, family, and play.
The Truth of Stephanie and Kevin Plank’s Relationship
Like many families, the Ruhle-Hubbards had their share of struggles during the pandemic. Both Stephanie and Andy tested positive for the virus, but Stephanie took the harder hit. While managing only mild symptoms himself, Andy stepped in and handled everything at home, from taking care of the kids to supporting Stephanie through her recovery.
His steady presence kept the household running, showing once again the strength of their partnership even in difficult times.
But not all challenges came from behind closed doors. Stephanie also found herself in headlines over her connection with Kevin Plank, the founder of Under Armour. Their frequent interactions raised eyebrows, especially after court documents revealed that Plank had given her a private phone and email for their communications.
While the situation stirred speculation, both Plank and Ruhle maintained that their relationship was strictly a friendship. Throughout it all, Stephanie remained firmly grounded in her longtime marriage to Andy Hubbard, with any rumors about something more being repeatedly dismissed as unfounded.
