Donna Hanover - Subsequent Life and Career

Subsequent Life and Career

In 2003, Hanover married Edwin Oster, an attorney practicing in Newport Beach, California. The two had dated in high school and in college, but had not spoken with each other for more than 20 years, until after Hanover's divorce from Giuliani. In 2005, Hanover published the book My Boyfriend's Back: 50 True Stories of Reconnecting with a Long-Lost Love, relating her story as well as those of others who had rejoined with lost loves. She lives in both New York and California.

She continued to work at the Food Network, co-anchoring its In Food Today program. During 2005, she also hosted the Fine Living cable channel's Homes & Hideaways program. She did fill-in work for New York radio station WOR for several years, then joined it on a full-time basis in February 2006, working first with co-host Ed Walsh and then as of August 2006 with Joe Bartlett. The latter pairing subsequently won an award for best broadcasting team. In May 2008 the two were replaced in the morning slot by the returning John R. Gambling, but she remains with the station as a film critic and fill-in host. Hanover also worked as an adjunct professor at New York University's Department of Journalism.
