Emily Compagno, one of the most prominent on-air personalities known for her work as the co-host of the daytime show Outnumbered on Fox News, has kept things locked up tight when it comes to her personal life, especially after her quiet divorce from her ex-husband, Peter Riley.
Some sources say the television host has since remarried. Others claim she just engaged and is keeping it low.
So what’s really going on? Does Emily have a new hubby, or is it all just talk?
Is Emily Compagno Remarried? Rumors Say Jon Skoog Is Her New Husband
Ever since her marriage to her former hubby, Peter Riley quietly faded from the spotlight, Compagno hasn’t officially tied the knot again.

As for the talk about Jon Skoog being her new husband—yeah, that’s completely false. Jon isn’t Emily’s man; he’s her brother-in-law, married to her sister Julietta, a psychologist and positive discipline trainer.
Jon and Julietta have been together since 2008 and have three kids: Leona, Violet Avery Skoog, and Josephine Harper. So, no—Emily’s not secretly married to Jon. The rumor mill definitely got that one wrong.
Emily Announced Her Engagement in 2024
On August 28, 2024, Compagno surprised everyone with a rare personal reveal—she’s engaged. The Fox News host dropped the news during an episode of Fox Business while chatting about work-life balance with Walser Wealth Management president Rebecca Walser.
She didn’t name names, though. Emily kept her fiancé’s identity a mystery.
She Was Married Before
Before the engagement rumors started swirling, Emily was married to Peter Riley.
The two tied the knot on September 13, 2017, at her family’s estate in Villa Cimbrone, Italy. They said “I do” at the gorgeous outdoor Tea Room Pavilion, surrounded by a picture-perfect view.
Emily wore a custom dress and veil by Suzanne Hanley of Atelier des Modistes, while Peter kept it classic in a J.Crew tux.
Guests were served Costa d’Amalfi wine from Eva and Tenuta San Francesco, and the reception dinner—held in the romantic Crypt—was catered by the Michelin-starred Il Flauto di Pan.
How Did Emily Meet Her Former Partner, Peter?
According to reports, Emily and her ex-spouse, Peter, first met as teenagers and later crossed paths again on the streets of Seattle, just a year before they got married.
Both went to the University of Washington, where they studied political science. Emily earned her B.A. there, and Peter graduated with the same degree back in 2000. So the two had plenty of common ground long before things turned romantic.
When Did They Divorce?
Emily and her husband Peter never made their split public. Some believe they called it quits the same year they tied the knot, while others think the breakup came a few years later.
Honestly, it’s not that surprising—rumors of a divorce had been floating around for a while, but Emily’s never addressed them. She’s always kept her private life under wraps, and this was no different.
The former couple also didn’t have any kids.
Who Is Compagno’s Ex-Husband, Peter?
Peter Riley is a well-established professional with a strong background in tech and sales. According to his LinkedIn profile, he currently works as a senior account manager at NVIDIA, focusing on GPU cloud services.
Before that, Peter—who’s based in Seattle—started his career as an account executive at HouseValues, Inc. He later spent over 12 years at Cisco Systems, climbing through various managerial roles.
From 2015 to 2021, he worked as a major account manager at Palo Alto Networks, then took on the same role at Netskope from 2021 to 2023.
