Khalil and Shirin Rajaee both worked in Sacramento, California stations. While at Fox40, he was on-air at the same time as Rajaee on CBS 13.

Joe Khalil and Shirin Rajaee’s Relationship
Khalil has been in a relationship with Iranian-American, Shirin Rajaee, for a few years. Even being direct rivals on their respective Sacramento stations didn’t affect their relationship.
In 2019, Khalil conspired with Rajaee’s boss, who assigned her to a fake story located at the same spot where she met Joe Khalil for the first time. His surprise was a success, because she said yes to his proposal that day.
After their engagement, they moved to the nation’s capital together. They planned a wedding for June 2020, but with the pandemic, they had a low-key, safe wedding on June 20, 2020.
