Laura Ingraham was born on June 30, 1963, in Hartford, Connecticut. She grew up in a family of six children and was raised by her parents, Marie and John Ingraham. Ingraham's father was a World War II veteran and a successful businessman.

The most guarded aspect of her lifestyle is her role as a mother. She adopted three children from Guatemala, Russia, and the United States (two sons and a daughter). She is a single mother, having never married.

While Ingraham guards her private life with the ferocity she applies to politics, a detailed picture emerges of a woman who lives a life of quiet East Coast luxury, deeply rooted in family, tradition, and a surprisingly old-school approach to entertainment.

Despite these criticisms, Ingraham remains one of the most popular and influential conservative voices in media. Her show, "The Ingraham Angle," continues to attract millions of viewers each night, and she remains a prominent figure in conservative politics and media.
