Laura Ingraham's Dating History Included a Romance with Dinesh D'Souza
Ingraham met fellow political commentator and author Dinesh D'Souza while studying at Dartmouth University. At that time, she made history as the first female editor of Dartmouth Review, where D'Souza also worked.
However, their relationship did not work out. D'Souza went on to date Ann Coulter and Dixie Brubaker, whom he eventually married in 1992. "It was my mission to marry the all-American girl," D'Souza said.
Nevertheless, Ingraham and D'Souza maintained a good relationship. She came to his defense in 2014 over his finance violation case, in which he pleaded guilty. At that time, Ingraham wrote a letter to the federal judge, vouching for D'Souza. In 2021, he appeared on her program, The Laura Ingraham Show.
Laura Ingraham Allegedly Had a Fling with Keith Olbermann, Donald Trump, and George Conway
Keith Olbermann is another political and sports commentator who briefly entered Ingraham's romantic life. However, the two reportedly parted ways after Olbermann realized their differences. In 2018, he posted about Ingraham's commentary toward Lebron James, where she told him to "shut up and dribble." Olbermann said:
"Laura once told me, proudly, that she hadn't had to have a 'real job' since she washed out of her law firm[ three] years before. She said this in 1998. For 23 years, her entire career has been in the Infotainment business."
Ingraham also reportedly went on a date with Donald Trump, whom she has known since the '90s. However, their date did not go well, as she did not like his personality. "He needs two separate cars, one for himself and one for his hair," she told friends. George Conway also reportedly pursued her to no avail.

Their engagement was eventually called off and Laura Ingraham continued to be an unmarried woman. However, Ingraham is a proud and happy mother to three adopted children, Maria Caroline, Michael Dmitri and Nikolai, from across the globe. Ingraham takes motherhood seriously and rarely talks about her children.
She once claimed the adoption process should not be political as kids should be loved and nurtured and are not commodities to be discussed politically.
