Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle is among the top candidates to become Donald Trump's press secretary, according to a report from Politico.

Guilfoyle has already met twice with Trump's transition team and is expected to attend a third meeting this week. Although Republican National Committee spokesman Sean Spicer is the likely favorite for the job, Politico reports a growing push among Trump's transition team for Guilfoyle.

"Some in Trump's inner circle have argued that Guilfoyle, who is half-Puerto Rican, would be a more sympathetic face when flacking some of Trump's more divisive stances on immigration and pro-life issues," reports Politico.

Guilfoyle may be known to the national audience as a Fox News host, but San Franciscans likely know her best as the former wife of current Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom. The couple married to great fanfare in 2001; the wedding was held at St. Ignatius and an opulent reception was held at the home of Ann and Gordon Getty.

Guilfoyle, who grew up in San Francisco and attended Mercy High was, at the time, an assistant district attorney. Her father, San Francisco political adviser Anthony Guilfoyle, counseled Newsom during his campaigns for the Board of Supervisors and San Francisco mayor.

Newsom and Guilfoyle announced their separation in 2005. She joined Fox News the next year to host 'The Lineup.'

She currently hosts a show called 'The Five.'
