Laura Ingraham's paths crossed with conservator commentator Dinesh D'Souza when they were students at Dartmouth in the 80's. They reportedly sparked a conversation while working on the college newspaper, "The Dartmouth Review" and started dating shortly after. It seems like they struck up a deep connection because D'Souza put a ring on it, but they didn't follow through with their plans. D'Souza went on to have a decade-long marriage with Dixie Brubaker, which ended in 2012. After that, he found love with Deborah Fancher, and they reportedly tied the knot in 2016.
Despite the serious nature of D'Souza and Ingraham's former relationship, the exes don't appear to have any bad blood. When the author pleaded guilty to breaking election law by committing campaign fraud in 2014, Ingraham wrote a letter to the judge presiding over the case to portray him in a better light. According to Politico, her heartfelt note explained how D'Souza paved his own path in the U.S. after moving as an exchange student with barely any money. She credited the "2000 Mules" filmmaker with nurturing her journalistic career's start by teaching her how to craft engaging news, find reliable sources, and always speak her truth. "Dinesh is simply one of the finest human beings I have ever met," she penned. "His generosity of spirit, philanthropy, keen sense of compassion, and devotion to the country are what I hope my own children exhibit when they mature into adults."
