What has Megyn Kelly said about her divorce?

It does not seem that Kelly has publically spoken about her divorce from Kendall.

However, while in her second marriage, she has made comments about having faced disloyalty in a past relationship.

According to the Daily Mail, in a 2011 interview with USA Weekend, she told the publication how former New York congressman Anthony Weiner had sent her a "nice note" following the birth of her second child.

Referencing the former politician's sexting scandal, she said: "I feel sorry for his family. His wife doesn’t deserve this. I have been in the position, not with my current marriage, where I’ve been betrayed. In the beginning, the instinct is very powerful to hang on."

In 2013, she revealed that she had been cheated on while speaking with Fox Online editor Chris Stirewalt on her former Fox News TV show.

Per the Daily Mail, the pair had been discussing how now-former Attorney General Eric Holder had signed off on a search warrant for a reporter.

Kelly asked Stirewalt: "Have you ever caught somebody cheating on you?"

He responded: "No."

She continued: "OK, I have, and I'm sure a lot of our viewers have — not my husband of course.

"And let me tell you what the person does when they're caught. They apologize! They tell you that they regret it, that they're sorry, and that they're not going to do it again.

"And that's what they do when they're caught, all right? But it tends to be that, did it the one time..."

According to the outlet, Kelly "then went back to discussing Holder and his search warrants without any further explanation for her outburst."

Kendall has denied that he was the person who cheated on Kelly, telling the Daily Mail in 2015: "I can say with 100% certainty that I was completely faithful to Megyn.

"When she made that comment about it not being in her current marriage it irritated me a bit because it seemed like she was suggesting it was me.

"I texted her at the time and she apologized. I think I was a good husband."

Kendall also spoke with the outlet about the reasons their marriage ended, saying: "I believe working two jobs, the long hours of corporate law and part time news together with my long hours of medical training took a toll on our marriage.

"I was working very hard and very long hours and we found our interests to be in different places. Let's just say I really loved sports and she was never a big fan of ESPN. We just grew apart.

"It is fair to say that I wanted to start a family at some point and she wasn't at that point, and yes, after we split that is what we told neighbors, but really there was more to it than that.

"She probably needed more emotional support than I could give her, and the same for me."

He continued: "I wanted a wife and she wanted a wife — we both needed someone to cook and clean and support us. She has very much a Type A personality. I couldn't imagine her staying at home. She needed more of a Type B husband.

"Sometimes with two professionals it doesn't work out, we were both working extremely hard and both excelling at what we did.

"It is just a matter that sometimes two personalities can clash.

"So we broke up, it was mutual. She wanted to work on things and wanted to keep it going but I realized it wasn't going anywhere. She moved just down the street and it was very amicable — we still walked the dogs together."

Per the Daily Mail, Kelly and Kendall no longer speak but are still friends, and he was featured on her show in 2011.

Kendall told the outlet: "I have a tremendous amount of respect for Megyn and I still like her as a person. I just want what is best for her and her family."

How many times has Megyn Kelly been married?

Kelly has been married twice: first to Kendall and now to writer and historian Douglas Brunt.

She and Brunt wed in 2008 and share three kids, including sons Yates and Thatcher, and a daughter Yardley.
