Fox News national correspondent Madison Scarpino is not married. No wedding announcement, no engagement, and no verified public record of a marriage exists. A number of websites have published fictional accounts of her “husband” — complete with invented biographies and fabricated net worth figures — but none of that has any factual basis. It is entirely made up.
As of February 2026, here is what is actually confirmed.

Madison Scarpino’s Relationship Status
Madison is notably private about her personal life. She does not discuss it in interviews and her Instagram, @madisonscar, stays almost entirely focused on her work.
The only real evidence of her relationship status comes from her own social media activity. In November 2023, she shared a photo with Calvin Wright, a fellow University of Mississippi graduate, at an Ole Miss college sports event. That post is the most direct public signal that the two are in a relationship.
Madison has never verbally confirmed it in any interview on record. Calvin Wright has made no public statements about it either. The relationship, while visible through social media, has never been officially acknowledged by either of them.
Who Is Calvin Wright?
Calvin Wright is a sales professional working in the tech industry. He studied at the University of Mississippi and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Government — the same university where he and Madison crossed paths.
His career since Ole Miss has moved through several companies:
- Birdeye — a software development firm based in Palo Alto, California
- GRIN — a creator management platform, where he worked from April to November 2024
- Intuit Mailchimp — where he currently holds a Senior Account Executive position, since November 2024
He keeps a low profile and has shown no interest in public attention.
Who Is Madison Scarpino?
Madison Scarpino is an Atlanta-based national correspondent for Fox News Channel, a role she officially began on December 4, 2023. Fox News made the announcement on November 21 of that year. She was 26 at the time — one of the younger journalists to reach correspondent level at the network.
Before the promotion, she spent nearly two years in Fox News’s competitive Multimedia Reporter (MMR) program, based out of St. Louis. The program sends reporters across the country to shoot, write, produce, and report independently. Her work during that stretch covered major national stories:
- The United Auto Workers strike
- The Titan submersible implosion
- The border surge in Arizona and Texas
- Six weeks embedded in the 2022 midterm election coverage, reporting on the Pennsylvania Senate race between Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman
- Mass shootings at Highland Park, Dallas, and the Covenant School in Nashville
Since becoming a national correspondent, she has covered Trump administration foreign policy, the Ukraine peace negotiations, and major breaking news out of her Atlanta base.
Prior to Fox News, she worked as a bureau reporter at NBC affiliate WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Alabama from November 2020 to January 2022.
In a December 2023 interview with Barrett Media, she was clear about what she is working toward: “I want to focus on just being the best journalist that I can and become someone who people trust and want to watch.”
Background and Family
Madison grew up in a military household. Her father, Tony Scarpino, served as a Naval Aviator for decades before retiring in January 2025. Because of his service, the family moved every two to three years throughout her childhood. As she told Barrett Media, “I actually don’t really have a hometown.”
She considers Florida home — she lived in Jacksonville twice and graduated from Tampa Catholic High School in May 2016. She later attended the University of Mississippi, graduating in 2020 with a BA in Broadcast Journalism.
Her family includes her mother Tricia Scarpino, younger sister Mia Scarpino, and younger brother Anthony Scarpino, a college baseball player at Eastern Kentucky University.
Where Things Stand
Madison Scarpino is not married. The Fox News correspondent has kept a firm line between her public career and her private life throughout her time in the spotlight, and that has not changed. The connection to Calvin Wright is supported by her own Instagram activity, but she has never addressed it publicly herself.
For anyone looking for a confirmed husband — there is none.
