Kiran grew up in Gaithersburg, Maryland and attended Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she served in student government, danced on the pom squad,[2] and competed on the swim team.

The next year she moved to WICU-TV in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she was the main anchor and health reporter.

In 1999, Chetry moved from WICU-TV to KXTV in Sacramento, California to work as a morning anchor and reporter.

In 2001, Chetry joined Fox News Channel as a general reporter, first appearing on March 8, 2001, in a story about eating ice cream.

Chetry allegedly wanted a clause in her contract that would have had Gretchen Carlson, a co-anchor of Fox & Friends, fired.

[10] Another source said that the clause in question merely requested a written clarification of whether Chetry would become a Fox & Friends co-host and, if so, when.

Chetry was married to Chris Knowles, a former Fox News Channel and weekend weathercaster at WPIX-TV; they divorced in 2013[citation needed] and have two children, a son and a daughter.
