Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, born on December 7, 1976, is an American author, editor, and illustrator, primarily known for her work on children's literature. She is also recognized as the fourth wife of the late media personality Rush Limbaugh. Notably, Kathryn is a direct descendant of former U.S. President John Adams, a historical connection that has often been highlighted in discussions of her background.
Kathryn has built a career as a writer, editor, and illustrator of children’s books. She contributed to the "Rush Revere" series, a collection of historical adventure books aimed at young readers. Specifically, she co-authored "Rush Revere and the American Revolution: Time-Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans," which blends elements of American history with educational storytelling. The series was well-received, especially among conservative audiences, and served as a creative extension of Rush Limbaugh's educational outreach to younger generations.
Before her marriage to Rush Limbaugh, Kathryn worked as a VIP liaison for various sporting events. It was during her time in this role that she met Rush. Despite a 26-year age difference, the couple began dating in 2007. They were married on June 5, 2010, in a private ceremony held in Florida.
The couple's wedding reception took place at The Breakers Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, and was attended by high-profile guests, including media figures such as Sean Hannity and then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani. A notable moment during the event was a live performance by Elton John, for which Limbaugh reportedly paid $1 million. While this choice sparked public commentary—given Limbaugh's well-known conservative stance—John’s participation was seen by many as a surprising cross-symbolic gesture.
In her capacity as co-author and illustrator, Kathryn Adams Limbaugh played a significant role in the production of the "Rush Revere" children's book series. The books aim to make American history accessible and engaging for young readers by using time-travel adventures to revisit significant moments in U.S. history. Her involvement in the series helped cement its appeal and educational value among families interested in patriotically themed literature.
