Despite the frank nature of the moment, many thought Banderas was joking and took to Twitter to call it out. This prompted Banderas to respond and drive home her point, saying, "I wasn't kidding."

The couple were married in August 2009 and met during an event for Habitat for Humanity, where Sansone is a member of the board. Banderas has been with Fox News since March 2005, starting as a general assignment reporter and later replacing Laurie Dhue as the anchor on Fox Report Weekend.
