Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner has built her name on resilience and grace under pressure — qualities that also define the enduring love story she shares with her husband, Tony Berlin.
A Romance Born in Competition
Their story didn’t begin with romance, but with rivalry. Both were budding journalists when their paths crossed in Minneapolis. Faulkner anchored at ABC affiliate KSTP, while Berlin was on-air at the CBS station across the city.
It wasn’t an instant connection. In fact, when Berlin attended a birthday party with another date, Faulkner joked she mentally “fired” him. Despite the awkward first impression, a friendship quickly formed — and within six months, that friendship turned into something more.
A year later, Berlin proposed beside the serene waters of Lake Superior on what Faulkner remembers as the warmest day that summer. They tied the knot in Arizona in 2003, marking the beginning of a partnership that’s still going strong over 20 years later.
Bridging Differences Through Faith and Family
One of the most inspiring parts of their relationship is how they’ve embraced — rather than avoided — their religious differences. Faulkner is a devoted Baptist Christian; Berlin is Jewish. Instead of allowing those distinctions to create distance, they’ve blended their beliefs to build a home that celebrates both traditions.
Together, they’re raising their daughters, Bella and Danika, in a household rooted in faith, understanding, and shared values. “We share every meal. We share a prayer,” Faulkner once said, highlighting the harmony they’ve found in their spiritual lives.
Their family life reflects this fusion of beliefs — from how they observe holidays to the way they support their daughters’ growth, love and mutual respect remain the foundation.
Careers That Grew Alongside Their Marriage
While Faulkner’s journalism career continued to climb — eventually landing her a prominent role at Fox News hosting The Faulkner Focus — Berlin took his own professional leap. He shifted from broadcasting into public relations, launching Berlin Media Relations in 2011.
Now based in Edgewater, New Jersey, the couple balances demanding careers and parenting, working as a team both at home and in their respective fields. Faulkner often credits Berlin for being her rock behind the scenes.
“I married an amazing guy,” she said in a 2019 interview. “I couldn’t do it without him.”
Love That Lasts Through Time
After more than two decades together, Faulkner and Berlin continue to prove that love can thrive despite outside skepticism. Their interfaith marriage may have raised eyebrows at the beginning, but it has only grown stronger through time.
Their relationship is a testament to partnership built on lifting each other up, honoring each other’s individuality, and staying rooted in shared purpose.
“Tony made me better from the moment I met him,” Faulkner once said. “He’s my forever boyfriend.”
With 23 years of marriage and a close-knit family to show for it, Harris Faulkner and Tony Berlin offer a modern-day example of how love, respect, and faith can overcome any boundary.
