Who Is SecDef Pete Hegseth’s Wife? Everything You Need to Know About Jennifer Rauchet

They welcomed their first child together, Gwendolyn, in 2017. By August 2019, they were married in a high-profile ceremony at Trump National Golf Club in Colts Neck, New Jersey — an event that, like many high-profile weddings, often involves navigating insurance coverage for events, legal protections, and managing the privacy of family members, particularly children. President Donald Trump attended the wedding, along with fellow Fox stars like Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt.

A Blended Family of Seven — and Always Front Row. Jennifer and Pete’s home life centers around their blended family of seven children, three from each of their previous relationships, and daughter Gwendolyn together. Managing a large family naturally brings with it conversations around health insurance policies, wellness checkups, and ensuring access to reliable pediatric healthcare for their kids.

Their kids have been a part of nearly every major milestone. That includes Hegseth’s swearing-in as Secretary of Defense in January 2025, where all seven stood proudly alongside him at the White House — a moment underscoring not only their family pride but the importance of comprehensive health coverage and financial planning for a family navigating public life at the highest levels.

From holidays to baseball games, Rauchet frequently shares glimpses of their family life online. It’s often filled with smiles, team spirit, and unapologetic American pride — as well as the unseen responsibilities of ensuring wellness management, legal safeguards, and access to quality healthcare for their growing family.

Through Headlines and Heat, She’s Remained Steadfast. Rauchet has never held an official government title, but she’s often seen by Hegseth’s side, including at select meetings and overseas trips.
