Here is what you need to know about Campos-Duffy.
Rachel Campos-Duffy was a reality TV star
Before she became a regular on American Broadcasting Company (ABC) talk show The View and later a guest host on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Campos-Duffy, 52, was cast in MTV’s hit reality TV series The Real World: San Francisco in 1994.
It was her reality TV stint that led her to meeting her now husband, Sean Duffy. He was cast in The Real World: Boston in 1997, and both of them were asked to take part in the first season of Road Rules: All Stars in 1998.
In a Fox News opinion piece last April, Campos-Duffy spoke about how TV and love collided: “We had our lives taped for six months and packaged into 23 heavily edited episodes set to the soundtrack of The Smashing Pumpkins and Counting Crows.”
The couple got married in 1999, with Rachel writing on Facebook that she had told Sean they would get married on one of their first dates.
She’s proud of her heritage
