Who is Leslie Marshall married to? Family explored as Fox News contributor opens up about suffering 11 miscarriages

Radio talk host and Fox contributor Leslie Marshall shared candid details about her private life. On January 1, during Fox’s Outnumbered show, she revealed that she had to go through 11 miscarriages. Marshall, who is married to Sports medicine surgeon Asghar Husain, is a mother to two children.

However, during the show, she mentioned that she had to go through 13 cycles of IVF. The discussion centred on Charlie Kirk, and she said she was delighted to see young people involved in politics. Leslie Marshall further said:

“I want my children to hear everything and to make their own decisions. And they can't just make a decision that's not biased if they're only hearing one biased side, whether it's my side or another side.”

Speaking about having a family, Leslie Marshall said:

“I understand marriage and family is important to a lot of people, but I know people that would love to get married just haven't met the right person or the guy hasn't asked yet. I suffered 11 miscarriages and I have two children, one after adoption, one after 13 IVF cycles, and I have a son who died.”

Leslie Marshall mentioned that although it was convenient for people to say that one should get married and have kids, it’s not easy for many. She commented that not every person chooses not to have a kid. It is difficult for many to have a baby because of fertility issues. About her experience, she said:

“Some of my friends saw what I went through and thought, ‘Maybe I don't want to go down that road.’”

Leslie Marshall on adopting their son

In 2018, Leslie Marshall wrote an opinion piece published on Fox News. She wrote that she always desired to adopt. More so because she was impressed by The Josephine Baker Story. However, as time went by, she forgot that this was what she wanted. After getting married, she decided to have a child. She wrote:

“I got pregnant right away and miscarried soon after. Although I was devastated, I knew the odds of a woman having a miscarriage – 15 percent if you’re under 35, higher if you’re older. I wasn’t discouraged. After all, I had gotten pregnant very quickly, and I come from women who had children when they were older. My grandmother had my uncle at 43 and my great-grandmother had my aunt at 51!”

Mentioning how they decided upon adoption, Leslie Marshall wrote:

“I told my husband of my childhood dream to adopt and he was in agreement. But he had two requests: that the child look like him and that we adopt a little boy, a son. Now that might not sound like a tall order, but my husband is Indian, and the adoption agency quickly told me that I most likely would have to adopt from India because they had never experienced an Indian child being put up for adoption in the United States!”

Leslie Marshall mentioned that they were finally able to adopt a son from Pakistan. For that, they had to live in Pakistan for four months.
