In July of 2018, the Ingraham Angle was the third-highest rate cable TV news program in the adults’ 25-54 demographic among all cable news programs in June of the same year, according to Variety. It has a whopping 2.6 million viewers.
Besides her work in television and radio, Ingraham’s also the author of several books. She has written several New York Times bestsellers, The Hillary Trap, Shut Up & Sing, Power to the People, and The Obama Diaries, among others.
Laura Ingraham – relationships
Laura Ingraham’s been involved in several relationships. The well-known political commentator and talkshow host has dated plenty of prominent men. She’s not currently – and never has been – married.
Since being in the public eye, many of her relationships have been public. Of course, that meant that gossip was certain to arise.
While studying at Dartmouth, Ingraham met Dinesh D’Souza. He was an exchange student from India and, though other students made fun of him Ingraham and he grew close. He taught her how to write news stories and track down sources. More importantly, though, as mentioned in Politico, how to stay firm with her principles.
They eventually became a couple and got engaged. Although they never made it through the isle, their relationship as friends would carry on.
D’Souza was described as “political pundit, writer, documentary-film maker, and onetime wunderkind of the intellectual elite” in Vanity Fair.
Dating history
In 2014, D’Souza was sentenced for campaign finance fraud. Ingraham came to his defense, writing a letter to the judge.
“Dinesh is simply one of the finest human beings I have ever met,” Ingraham wrote in her letter.
“His generosity of spirit, philanthropy, keen sense of compassion and devotion to country are what I hope my own children exhibit when they mature into adults. Until this recent unfortunate chapter, his life has been the quintessential immigrant success story. I understand the facts of his case and that the court takes his plea very seriously. I simply urge, during this sentencing phase, that you consider his life in its totality — his contributions, humility and compassion.”
In the 1990s, as Ingraham’s TV career began to pick up speed, her love life attracted more publicity and attention.
In 2008, The New Yorker reported that Ingraham dated political pundit Keith Olbermann “briefly a decade ago.” Their political views were polar opposite. That, however, wasn’t the reason to why the couple went separate ways, according to Olbermann.
He said: “There were a few problems. There were a few things that I could see were going to be impediments. Oddly, they were not political things.”
Over the following years, their political differences sure seemed to be a problem.
Icy relationship
Ingraham suggested that Olbermann had insulted American troops, saying:
“I believe MSNBC really needs to bring in a medical team at this point… I don’t know what happened to him, I really don’t. He didn’t use to be this way.”
In 2017, Olbermann called her out. He claimed she had “vandalized her ex-boyfriend’s house by stuffing the garden hose through the letter slot.”

Moving forward, Ingraham reportedly dated former politician and democratic Senator Robert Torricelli in 1999, as well as economist and former president of Harvard University, Lawrence H Summers, in the early 2000s.
Laura Ingraham – breast cancer
In 2005, The Harvard Crimson reported that “tabloids were abuzz with rumors of [Lawrence’s] relationship with conservative radio host Laura Ingraham”. However, neither of them have confirmed they were dating.
The same year, Laura Ingraham met and dated entrepreneur James V Reyes. They supposedly met after being set up on a blind date and got engaged in April, 2005.
But just a month later, a tragedy would ultimately end their engagement.
In 2005, Ingraham was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast-cancer. She was preparing for surgery, and the same day called in to tell her listeners about the diagnosis. At the same time, her wedding plans went by the board.

Following her chemotherapy treatment, the cancer was gone.
“The coast is clear,” Ingraham said in an interview with Talkers in 2013.
“I try to go on without obsessing about it all that much. It was not a pleasant experience to go through and I treated it like training for a marathon, or writing a law school essay. I powered through it and did not want people to pity me.”
Laura Ingraham – children
Laura Ingraham’s a supporter of domestic and international adoption, which has led to the 60-year-old talkshow host adopting three children.
