Anchor Julie Banderas announces divorce on live TV before slamming Valentine’s Day

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas expressed her hatred towards Valentine’s Day and announced her divorced from her husband, saying she ‘didn’t get s—’ when she was married.

The 49-year-old hinted at her surprise announcement on Twitter just hours ahead of Thursday night’s show, writing: ‘Tune into @gutfeldfox tonight at 11pm ET. I have a little announcement at the end of the show. (During the Valentine’s Day segment ironically).’

‘F**k Valentine’s Day,’ she replied when host Greg Gutfeld asked if she was ‘going to get anything for Valentine’s Day’ and if her relationship was ‘over.’

 ‘Yeah, it’s stupid. Even when I was married I didn’t get s**t for Valentine’s Day…well, I’m getting a divorce, I’m going to go ahead and say it right here for the very first time.

‘Congratulations are in order, if you know me, you’d clap…That was breaking news, right there,’ the 18-year Fox veteran joked.

“Well, I’m getting a divorce. I’m gonna go ahead and say it right here for the first time. Thank you everyone, congratulations are already in order. If you know me, you’ll clap. That was breaking news, listen you don’t have to be a guy to not get shit on Valentine’s Day, come talk to me after the show. It’s a Hallmark holiday, it’s stupid. It’s just absolutely ridiculous and I don’t think you need one day.”

Banderas is a mother of three children, according to her Twitter profile.

Banderas, who married her husband Andrew Sansone, 55, in 2009, added: ‘It’s stupid, it’s absolutely ridiculous,’ she said, before dishing out advice to the men in the audience about how to present their significant others with flowers.

‘By the way, guys, if you are going to get your girl flowers, don’t bring them to her in a box, that’s the only advice I’ve got for you,’ she said. ‘If you come to be in a box, you better be dead.’
