She currently appears on Fox News, where she serves as co-host and weather anchor on Fox & Friends.
Career
Dean was born in Toronto, Ontario, grew up in Ottawa, and graduated from Algonquin College with a degree in radio-television broadcasting.[1] Before starting her career in broadcasting, she worked as a Canadian bylaw enforcement officer.[2] Later Dean worked at several radio and television stations in Canada and the United States, including CHEZ-FM and WCBS-TV, finally landing a post at Fox News.
In 2009, Dean's application for the American Meteorological Society Seal of Approval was granted.[3] The Seal is not a meteorology diploma, so she is not a meteorologist. Rather, it was launched in 1957 as a way to recognize on-air personalities for their sound delivery of weather information to the general public, and the AMS is no longer accepting applications for the Seal of Approval Program.[4]
Dean wrote a series of Freddy the Frogcaster children's books.[5]
Her first book, Mostly Sunny: How I Learned to Keep Smiling Through the Rainiest Days, was released on March 5, 2019.[6] Her second book, Make Your Own Sunshine: Inspiring Stories of People Who Find Light in Dark Times, was released on March 2, 2021.[7]Template:Better source needed
Criticisms of Andrew Cuomo
Dean's father-in-law and mother-in-law, each a resident of an assisted living facility or nursing home in New York, died due to complications of COVID-19. In the aftermath, she attributed both deaths to a state advisory that required admissions and readmissions of assisted living and nursing home residents without virus testing and became an outspoken high-profile critic of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the lack of media coverage about the policy.[8]
Dean criticized CNN, Good Morning America, and People Magazine; for doing "puff pieces" on Cuomo's actions relative to the pandemic that did not touch on the nursing home subject.[9] She specifically noted the behavior of both Governor Cuomo and his brother Chris regarding his appearances on Chris's CNN show, describing it as "an insensitive, giggling interview."[8]
The Governor's secretary Melissa DeRosa was among the Cuomo aides who, along with his brother, criticized Dean behind the scenes and tried to create a strategy to paint Dean's commentary as unimportant. It was reported that Chris Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa had plotted to discredit Dean over her criticism of Andrew Cuomo.[10]
Personal life
In 2007 she married Sean Newman of the New York City Fire Department.[11][12] They have two sons, Matthew and Theodore.[13]
She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005.[6]
