Who is Chris Hayes’ law professor wife, Kate Shaw? The MSNBC host met his partner – an ABC News contributor and co-host for Supreme Court podcast Strict Scrutiny – when they were at Brown University
MSNBC host Chris Hayes is offering an ‘antidote’ to those who have been feeling overwhelmed by the actions of president Donald Trump during his second presidency – so who is his wife, Kate Shaw?
“Can’t emphasise this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way,” Hayes, 46, wrote on BlueSky over the weekend. “There are millions of us.”
Hayes’ post was met with plenty of support and gratitude from netizens who have been sharing the same shared frustrations around the state of politics in the US right now.
But what’s Chris Hayes like in his personal life? Let’s meet his long-time wife, Kate Shaw.
What is Kate Shaw’s background?
Kate Shaw is a Chicago native, per Podcast Magazine. She was born to Andy Shaw, a well-known journalist who covered news, politics and business for media outlets from NBC 5 to ABC 7, writes The Chicago Tribune.
Considering her incredible achievements, it’s hardly surprising to hear that her dad is super proud of her. “We enjoyed watching our oldest daughter, lawyer and ABC contributor Kate Shaw, analyse the Mueller report and Barr news [conference] during the network’s wall-to-wall coverage today,” he wrote on X in April 2019. “It’s nice to have daughters who are smarter than us and still happy to share their kids with the geezers.”
She previously studied at Brown University, before returning to Illinois to enrol at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law from 2003 to 2006.
