FOX News anchor Harris Faulkner has shared her concerns about her two teenage daughters, Bella and Danika, especially as her eldest prepares to leave for college. The 59-year-old broadcaster, who is married to media consultant Tony Berlin, expressed the anxieties she faces as her daughters navigate the challenges of growing up in today’s world.

Bella, 18, and Danika, 15, are biracial, with Faulkner being Black and Berlin being white. As Bella’s college journey nears, Faulkner revealed her deep concerns surrounding racial and political tensions, especially as her daughter will be entering an environment that may present challenges related to both race and faith.
“In a time when people face hate for their beliefs or backgrounds, I’m worried about my daughters’ safety and well-being,” Faulkner told Daily Mail in a candid interview. “As a person of color who speaks openly about faith, it’s painful to see others judged and marginalized for simply existing in the way they do.”
Raising her daughters in a household with diverse religious backgrounds—Faulkner is a Baptist Christian, and Berlin is Jewish—adds another layer of complexity to her concerns. The couple has been married since 2003.
Am I more worried about them standing out for their hair texture and their skin color or their faith? I’m worried about all of it. And not just for my kids.”

“She wants to study early childhood education, and with a specialty in children who are challenged and need extra love and support.”
The Fox News star also spoke about the ratings battle between her show, The Faulkner Focus, and ABC talk show The View.
“On The View, there is this sort of, shout it, cuss it, do whatever you gotta do to get a little more attention around the hot topics,” she slammed.
She also called out The View Sunny Hostin for “dicey remarks” and for “coming for her” in a 2018 appearance.
Last year, Faulkner celebrated 10 years of hosting the Fox News afternoon program Outnumbered after joining the network in 2005.
Plus, her show ended January with an average total of 2,552,000 viewers, beating out The View’s 2,508,00 in a shocking upset.
