Aishah Hasnie: Breaking barriers, making headlines — Is she still single in 2025?

Muslim women remain largely underrepresented in American media. But Aishah Hasnie has carved out her own spotlight, and done it with intelligence, elegance, and unshakable grit.

The Pakistani-American journalist is more than just a familiar face on Fox News. She’s a rising powerhouse in broadcast journalism, a deeply faithful Muslim, and a woman determined to define success on her own terms.

From Lahore to the National Stage

Born on October 4, 1985, in Lahore, Pakistan, Aishah immigrated to the United States at just six years old. She was raised in Indiana alongside her younger sister Afiah Hasnie, and graduated from Bedford North Lawrence High School in 2002 before earning a journalism degree from Indiana University.

Her early life was shaped by faith, discipline, and big dreams. It’s a combination that would later drive her to one of the most competitive industries in the world.

Finding Her Voice in the Newsroom

Hasnie got her start as an intern at WICS-TV, then landed her first full-time role at WANE-TV as an investigative reporter and anchor. Her work quickly drew notice, she earned an Emmy nomination and built a reputation as a relentless truth-seeker.

In 2011, she joined FOX 59 in Indianapolis, where her consumer watchdog segment Taking Action for You made her a trusted name in local news.

But the real breakthrough came in 2019, when she joined Fox News in New York as an overnight anchor and correspondent. By 2021, she’d climbed even higher, becoming a Congressional Correspondent. And now she serves as a Senior National Correspondent based in Washington, D.C.

Staying True to Her Faith — and Herself

Hasnie stands out not just for her reporting, but for being one of the very few Muslim women in high-profile cable news roles — and she talks about it with pride and honesty.

“I am a deeply faithful person. I’m Muslim, and I pray five times a day,” she told an interviewer.

She’s also spoken candidly about defying expectations in both culture and career:

“I get to wear skirts and dresses. I get to show my legs and hair and still be taken seriously.”

For many, she’s become a powerful role model, especially for young women navigating faith and ambition in modern America.

Polished On-Air, Private Off-Camera – Is she still single

Though she’s constantly in front of the camera, Aishah Hasnie keeps her private life intentionally low-key. She’s not married, and aside from the occasional rumor, she’s said to be focused squarely on her career.

Although she has not publicly disclosed any information about having a husband or any children, according to Tuko, sources speculate she is single and focusing on building her career. She maintains a private personal life.

She’s even earned praise for staying off X (former Twitter). During a 2021 appearance on Gutfeld!, the host joked:

“I love the fact that Hasnie has no X. She’s smarter than all of us.”

Net Worth, Recognition & What’s Next

While her reported $60,000 annual salary is modest compared to top-tier anchors, Hasnie’s net worth is estimated around $2 million, thanks to a decade of high-impact journalism.

She’s received honors from the Indiana Associated Press, the Society of Professional Journalists, and other press watchdogs. The recognition reflects her consistency, credibility, and quiet rise to prominence.

A Role Model in Real Time

Aishah Hasnie isn’t just reporting the news, she’s quietly reshaping who gets to tell it. Her path from a young Pakistani immigrant to a rising voice on national television is a story of grit, faith, and perseverance.

In an industry where representation still lags, Hasnie stands out, not for seeking the spotlight, but for earning it. Her presence in Washington’s media circles sends a powerful message: sometimes, the most impactful stories are lived, not just told.
