NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Megyn Kelly’s recent appearance on the basketball court has garnered attention from her fans, leading some to petition for her to concentrate on her professional responsibilities.
This comes in the wake of her recent basketball performance, which left many viewers surprised as she struggled to make successful shots into the net.
The 52-year-old has been keeping busy after her exclusive interview with former POTUS Donald Trump and seems to have taken some time out to destress.
Kelly has found solace on the basketball court as a means to clear her mind, dedicating time to hone her shooting skills while her husband, Douglas Brunt, documented the moment on camera.
Megyn Kelly called her outing at the basketball court ‘not horrible'
The former Fox News host, not renowned for her sports prowess, recently decided to give basketball a shot.
Within what appeared to be a miniature basketball court in her backyard, Kelly donned an all-black outfit with her hair pulled back in a ponytail as she earnestly attempted to sink the ball into the hoop.
Despite her best efforts, shooting the ball into the net proved to be a challenge. It took her three attempts to successfully score, with the other two shots not meeting her expectations.
Her husband and son, watching from a distance, captured this moment as they observed Kelly giving her all on the court.
Kelly later shared the clip on Instagram and captioned the post, “It seems @douglas_brunt and our son Thatcher caught yours truly seeing what could happen if I actually picked up a ball. Not horrible!”
In her caption, Kelly made it clear that she wasn't accustomed to the game, but she expressed her belief that with the opportunity and dedicated practice, she could become highly skilled at it.
It was heartwarming to note that her husband and son were there to cheer her on during her basketball endeavors.

A third said, “Good thing you have other talents and Beauty lol,” while a fourth offered some game advice and wrote, “Remember Megyn, the backboard is your friend.”

A sixth said, “It was pretty horrible so I watched it 75 times."
