Sean Duffy introduces 9 children, wife Rachel at 2016 RNC convention, met on MTV The Real World

Duffy served as co-host of “The Bottom Line” on Fox Business until leaving the network in November. He won a House seat as part of wave of Tea Party victories in 2010 after a campaign where he could be seen in a red flannel shirt chopping trees and telling voters he came from a “long line of lumberjacks ” and would bring his axe to Washington. He resigned from Congress in 2019, citing a need to care for his nine children. A former lumberjack athlete, Duffy met his wife on the set of MTV’s “Road Rules: All Stars” in 1998. His wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, is co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend. He met his future wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, a fellow Fox News contributor, when they both starred on another MTV reality show. Campos-Duffy was on hand at Wednesday’s hearing, along with eight of the couple’s nine children.

As of May 2016, they had eight children. The Duffys’ ninth child, a daughter, was born in 2019. She was born one month early and has Down syndrome. Due to the baby’s anticipated health complications, including a heart condition, Duffy announced that he was resigning from Congress, effective September 23, 2019, in order to focus his time and attention on his family.
