"Yes, we just happened to meet."Megyn Kelly further highlighted the age gap between Wilkins and Patel.

However, the actual age difference is 19 years. In response, Kelly jokingly noted that their age gap isn't quite "as big as" White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is 32 years younger than her husband, Nicholas Riccio.
Wilkins further shared that they began dating a little over two years ago, before Kash Patel became the FBI director.
"I like to joke that, you know, all of this was not on my bingo card, but here we are," Alexis remarked.Megyn Kelly clarified to Wilkins that she had asked her about her age and her relationship with Patel because many people online believed Alexis was a "honey pot" trying to get close with a Trump administration official, possibly betting on him becoming FBI chief. Kelly likened this situation to the controversy surrounding United States Representative Eric Swalwell and his alleged links to a Chinese spy.
