Charen has spoken out in disagreement with former Capital Gang co-host Robert Novak regarding her tenure on the show and the reason for her departure. This caused a heated editorial exchange between her and Novak. Charen is married to Bob Parker, who is a litigation partner with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP .
