In a surprising turn of events, Megyn Kelly's husband, Douglas Brunt, has transitioned from a high-powered tech executive to a thriving writer. The couple, who met on a blind date in 2006 and have three children together, have weathered Brunt's career change with resilience.
Brunt, who was previously the president and CEO of internet security firm Authentium, sold the company in 2011 and stepped down from his position. During his time at the company, Brunt had been writing stories to "relax" during his commutes, and his wife Megyn encouraged him to pursue writing as a full-time profession.
Since then, Brunt has published three novels, including the New York Times bestseller "Ghosts of Manhattan." In 2022, he also launched his own podcast, "Dedicated with Doug Brunt," where he interviews acclaimed authors, fulfilling a long-held dream of connecting with his literary heroes.
Despite the challenges of Brunt's career shift, the couple has remained steadfast in their support for one another. Megyn Kelly has praised her husband's talent and resilience, and the two have weathered the ups and downs of the writing life together.
