Emily Compagno is Married
Emily Compagno has been a married woman for the past six years, and the name of her husband has been revealed as Peter Riley, who also hails from the northwest.
Emily is renowned as an American attorney, former NFL cheerleader, television host, and more. She is working with Fox News Channel, co-hosting Outnumbered, and appearing on the late-night show Gutfeld. She also hosts The FOX True Crime Podcast w/ Emily Compagno on Fox News Radio and makes guest appearances on Fox & Friends.
Emily is hatching a new show entitled Weapon of Fire which will be airing on Fox channel. She is currently advertising the upcoming show via her Instagram handle.
The fact about Emily being married is no longer news as the Fox channel host mentions her spouse on air from time to time.
Emily Compagno and Peter Riley Met as Teenagers
Going by what Emily Compagno said on the set of Outnumbered, she first met Peter when they were teenagers, but there were no romantic feelings between them. The next time they crossed paths was on a sidewalk in Seattle, and by then, they were both adults.
The duo eventually attended the University of Washington, where they studied political science. Peter reportedly graduated in 2000, and it was insinuated that Emily finished before him, though they were born the same year.
From what is obvious, the couple didn’t date during their years at the University because they met again in 2016 when they attended a charity event, and that was how their love journey started.
Peter Riley Became Emily Compagno’s Husband in 2017
Fans were not intimated with the details of the couple’s dating period, but it is common knowledge that they exchanged wedding vows in 2017. The duo married in an intimate Italian wedding ceremony hosted at the extraordinary Villa Cimbrone in Ravello, Italy. The Villa is quite a scenic spot boasting a spectacular Amalfi cliffside estate complete with beautiful botanical gardens dating as far back as the 11th century.
The couple’s wedding venue is only reachable on foot as it towers 1200 feet above the Tyrrhenian Sea. The historic architecture, stunning gardens, and the fabulous view of the scenic Amalfi Coast all added to the beauty of the couple’s big day.
Emily Compagno and her husband said “I do” at an outside venue on the estate called Tearoom Pavilion, and for the reception, the guests moved down to the Belvedere restaurant on the estate.
Compagno took center stage at her wedding party decked out in a stunning Firenze all-white gown by Atelier des Modistes’ designer called Suzanne Hanley. According to the bride, the designer has been a part of her family for many years.
On his own part, Peter Riley appeared in a custom-tailored tuxedo in navy color. He complimented his outfit with gold cufflinks – a sort of family heirloom belonging to his Sicilian family and handed down from one groom to the other. On his wrist was a watch gifted to him by Emily with the inscription, “Ti amo per sempre: I love you forever.”
The wedding was a day to remember for the duo, and after the reception, the bride and groom didn’t proceed for their honeymoon immediately. They proceeded to spend the remaining part of their big day exploring different parts of Ravello. Emily Compagno described how they commandeered a Vespa after taking espresso in the piazza and later jumped into a locally organized youth tennis match in their full wedding gear. While Peter played, Emily was on the side, cheering her man on.
Friends and family of the couple described the day as beautiful, and even the photographer hired for the occasion said it was as unique as it was meaningful and the best they have ever seen.

Is Emily Compagno Still Married or Divorced?
Emily Compagno is still married to her husband, Peter Riley. However, there were rumors about the couple going their separate ways in 2020.
It happened that Emily was spotted in public with her wedding finger devoid of her ring, and this sparked speculations that they may be going through difficulties in their union.
Also, the fact that Emily doesn’t seem to be sharing stuff about their personal lives on her socials intensified the speculations. Many opined that she avoids publicity because of their marital issues. There was also the fact that the couple lives separately – while Emily resides in New York, Peter is a resident of Seattle, but the arrangement was said to be for expediency as they chose to live close to their workplace.
Though Emily Compagno and her spouse never bothered to clear the air about their purported marriage issues, the rumors naturally died down after the Fox Channel host was seen on a later date brandishing her wedding rings.
