Megyn Kelly Worried Doug Brunt Was Too Good To Be True When They Started Dating

Megyn Kelly was 36 years old when she met Douglas Brunt, and she had already been married and divorced once before. Brunt was the CEO of a security company at the time, and he had never been married. "When I met Doug, I was confused at first. He was different from what I thought I wanted — more reserved, less cocky," the former NBC News reporter confessed on an episode of her podcast "The Megyn Kelly Show." "He was kind, he was smart, he was strong but not in a domineering way, and in no way intimidated by me or my strength. He was a gentleman."

All good things, but the journalist was skeptical. Shortly before their 15th anniversary, Kelly had her husband Brunt as a guest on her show to talk about their early relationship, and she mentioned a journal entry. "I wrote something to the effect of, 'Is it possible that this guy loves me and isn't a serial killer? There's got to be a shoe to drop here because he's too good.'"

She eventually gained confidence in Brunt, and when he proposed on a beach in 2007, Kelly immediately said yes. The two were married in March 2008, and had their first son together in 2009, followed by a daughter in 2011, and a second son in 2020.
