Matt Napolitano and Ricky Whitcomb were open about their LGBT love. After a brief illness, Napolitano died on Saturday in New York City. At the time, he was 33 years old.
Napolitano joined Fox News in 2015, originally as a writer on the Sirius XM show Fox News Headlines 24/7. Because of his swift growth, he became a sports reporter for the same channel. He left the network as a full-time employee in 2022 but returned in November of that year, coinciding with Fox News’ heightened efforts to build its audio content projects.
Napolitano worked for Fox News as an anchor and correspondent, developing and producing content for all audio platforms. In addition, he covered sports for the Fox Business Network’s daily “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” show, hosted by Neil Cavuto. In addition, Napolitano gave commentary for Fox News Edge, which delivers news coverage and multimedia packages to Fox affiliate stations around the country.
