Who is Pete Hegseth’s wife, Jennifer Rauchet?

Jennifer Cunningham Rauchet was born on January 30, 1985.

She’s an alumna of Towson University in Maryland, where she acquired her journalism degree.

Rauchet’s lengthy career in the media industry has primarily been behind the scenes as a television producer.

Her IMDB profile reveals producer credits on the short films Poison Ivy and Heroes of Hamburger Hill.

Like Hegseth, she’s been married twice before and has three children from her past relationships.

Her second marriage ended in controversy.

In August 2017, Rauchet gave birth to her and Hegseth’s first child together – a daughter named Gwen – while he was still married to his second wife.

It was Hegseth’s fourth child, who also had three children from his second marriage.

Rauchet maintains a fairly active Instagram account with over 13,000 followers.

She often posts snaps of the blended family she shares with Hegseth, which includes her, her husband, and their seven children.
