Rick Leventhal & Kelly Dodd Biography

Rick Leventhal and Kelly Dodd are a media couple recognized for their careers in broadcast journalism and reality television. Rick Leventhal is a journalist with more than 35 years of experience covering wars, hurricanes, terror attacks, and major breaking news events nationally and internationally. He spent 24 years at Fox News Channel, where he was promoted to senior correspondent. Kelly Dodd, a graduate of Arizona State University, began her career in advertising sales before focusing on raising her daughter in San Francisco. The two met at a Hamptons party and married in an outdoor ceremony in Sonoma, California.

Leventhal's journalism career includes on-the-ground reporting from significant events such as the September 11 attacks, where he was among the first reporters at Ground Zero. He was also part of the first group of journalists embedded with U.S. Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq, and reported from Libya during the uprising against Moammar Qaddafi. Leventhal made multiple trips to Israel, including extended coverage in Gaza. Prior to Fox News Channel, he worked in local news markets including Columbia, South Carolina; West Palm Beach, Florida; Miami; Chicago; and New York City. His memoir, "Chasing Catastrophe," provides insight into his experiences as a war correspondent. He has hosted "The Leventhal Report" on Newsmax2.

Kelly Dodd gained national attention through her role on Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County," joining during the show's eleventh season and remaining through the fifteenth season. In addition to her television work, Dodd managed her business, Positive Beverage, and parented her daughter.
