Washington, D.C., December 15, 2024 – Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy and Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn have announced they are expecting their second child, a baby boy, due in April 2025. The couple shared the joyful news last week, delighting fans and colleagues who have followed their journey as a media power couple.
Doocy, 37, the Senior White House Correspondent for Fox News, and Vaughn, 35, a Capitol Hill correspondent for Fox Business, revealed the news in a heartwarming Instagram post. The couple posed with their 1-year-old daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, beside a Christmas tree in their Fairfax, Virginia home, which they purchased in 2023 for $1.68 million. In the photo, Bridget held a letter to Santa that read, “Dear Santa, Baby Brother PLEASE! Love Bridget.” Doocy captioned the post, “Good tidings of great joy… we are having a BOY!” The announcement, shared on December 8, 2024, quickly garnered thousands of likes and congratulatory messages from followers.
The couple, who married in April 2021 at a small ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, welcomed their first child, Bridget, on February 1, 2023. Their journey into parenthood has been well-documented, with Vaughn previously sharing how her career as a journalist prepared her for motherhood. “I’ve been training for this my whole career by trying to get lawmakers to respond to my questions,” she told People magazine after Bridget’s birth. Now, as they prepare to welcome their son, Vaughn expressed excitement about becoming a “boy mom,” while Doocy noted that Bridget is already eager to be a big sister.
Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox & Friends, also shared his enthusiasm. “The whole family is on baby-watch again,” Steve said, recalling how he and his wife Kathy are ready to spoil their second grandchild. Steve humorously referenced a recent on-air incident where a bird landed on Peter during a live report, joking, “Maybe that bird was a stork bringing us good news!”
Fans and colleagues have flooded social media with support. “So happy for you both! Two of the most honest reporters in the media today!” one follower commented on Instagram. Another wrote, “Beautiful family! Can’t wait to meet the little guy.” The announcement comes as Doocy and Vaughn continue to balance their high-profile careers with family life, often sharing glimpses of their personal milestones with their audience.
Doocy, who has covered the White House since 2021, and Vaughn, a Fox Business correspondent since 2016, met at work and began dating around 2017. Their shared professional world has strengthened their bond, with Vaughn once noting that covering major events like elections while pregnant with Bridget gave her daughter a “front-row seat to history.” As they await their second child, the couple continues to inspire with their dedication to both family and journalism.
With their son’s arrival expected in April 2025—coinciding with their fourth wedding anniversary—Peter and Hillary are gearing up for another milestone. For now, their fans eagerly await updates on the newest addition to this beloved Fox News family.
