Kimberly Guilfoyle, a Fox News personality, said she's in discussions with the White House about a communications position, possibly even to replace press secretary Sean Spicer.

In a new interview with the San Francisco-area Mercury News newspaper, Guilfoyle said she is in touch with the White House about a job and that it would be an "honor" for her to take a position.

"I think I have a very good relationship with the president," she said. "I think I enjoy a very straightforward and authentic, very genuine relationship, one that's built on trust and integrity, and I think that's imperative for success in that position."

Guilfoyle said she has known Trump for about 10 years.

On Spicer, who reporters have long criticized as inadequate as a press secretary and who Trump has reportedly considered replacing, Guilfoyle said he's "a very nice man and a patriot" who is in a "very tough position."

After the story published, a spokesperson for Fox said Guilfoyle is "under a long term contract with the network," perhaps an indication that she would be unable to break away from her current employer."

Also after Mercury's story published, Guilfoyle said her job at Fox would be "tough to beat."

The New York Times reported Friday that Trump had told associates that Guilfoyle, who was married to former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, could possibly work as a replacement.

Guilfoyle would be at least the third Fox personality to join the administration.

Former "Fox & Friends" host Heather Nauert was named spokeswoman for the State Department in April and former Fox contributor K.T. McFarland now serves as deputy national security adviser to the White House.
