Tucker Carlson, a longtime political commentator and former Fox News host, has spent decades in the public spotlight, but his wife, Susan Andrews, has remained quietly by his side. The couple met as teenagers at St. George’s School in Rhode Island, where Susan’s father was the headmaster. Tucker described her as “the cutest 10th grader in America,” and they became engaged while he was still in college.
Married for over 30 years, Tucker and Susan have four children—Lillie, Buckley, Hopie, and Dorothy—and have largely kept their family life private. Their son, Buckley Carlson, now works in politics as a deputy press secretary for Senator J.D. Vance. Despite Tucker’s rising media fame, Susan and the kids have stayed out of the limelight.
In 2018, protesters targeted their D.C. home while Tucker was at work, leaving Susan to face the frightening incident alone. Years earlier, her father, Rev. George Andrews, was caught in controversy over his handling of sexual abuse allegations during his tenure at St. George’s. While Susan and Tucker were not involved, the case drew renewed attention due to his past position.
Susan remained silent throughout Tucker’s sudden departure from Fox News in 2023 amid multiple lawsuits and controversies. Though she avoids media attention, she’s been a constant behind the scenes—his high school sweetheart, lifelong partner, and the woman he still lovingly calls “America’s cutest 10th grader.”
