Dana Perino has been married to her husband, Peter McMahon, for over 25 years.
The Fox News host met the salesman by chance in 1997 and the pair wed the following year. Perino, who served as press secretary for President George W. Bush from 2007 to 2009 and now serves as a co-host on Fox News’ The Five, has credited some of her career success to McMahon’s support.
“He’s definitely my best friend and my best guide, and everything I’ve accomplished would not be possible if we were not together,” the political commentator said on a 2022 episode of A Dana Perino Podcast: Everything’s Going to Be Okay.
In a 2018 essay for Fox News, Perino called her marriage to McMahon the “best decision [she] ever made” and one of the hardest but “most rewarding” things she’s ever done.
Here’s everything to know about Dana Perino’s husband, Peter McMahon.

Perino and McMahon, who was born and raised in the United Kingdom, met by chance on a flight from Denver to Chicago in August 1997. The couple recalled to Yahoo! Lifestyle that they were seated in seats 13A and 13C on the plane.
“I lived in the U.K. and wasn’t looking for any kind of relationship,” McMahon told the outlet. “We just talked, and two and a half hours later, exchanged details.”
Perino gave McMahon a card with her home phone number, office number, fax number and email address.
They wed in 1998

McMahon sent Perino an email after they first met, and they eventually began dating. Less than a year after they first met, McMahon spontaneously proposed in front of the Washington Cathedral and Perino later responded to the proposal with a letter that closed with, “Yes, I will marry you.”
The pair wed on Sept. 30, 1998, and celebrated their 26th anniversary in 2024. McMahon, who was previously married, has two children from a previous relationship.

On an episode of A Dana Perino Podcast: Everything’s Going to Be Okay, McMahon revealed that as a child, he and his best friend thought he’d be a pilot in the Royal Air Force.
“In the officer training, it just didn’t work out with me. I was a jokester, I didn’t take things seriously enough,” he said on his wife’s Audible series. “At the end, they decided I wasn’t suitable material.”
McMahon instead went to work in Germany and started a career in medical manufacturing sales. In 1999, he launched Icon Medical. Per his LinkedIn, McMahon left Icon Medical in December 2016 and in November 2019, became president of GreenSleeve Medical Corporation.

“It gives you great insight into other people’s lives,” he said of traveling on Perino’s podcast.
