In a move that’s already sparking conversation across newsrooms and social media, Kayleigh McEnany — former White House Press Secretary and current Fox News co-host — has officially changed the name of her third daughter, Avery Grace, less than two months after birth.
And the new name? Completely different, deeply symbolic, and — most striking of all — never recorded in American baby name databases before 2025.
🍼 From Avery Grace to… Primis Fox
Yes, you read that right. The McEnany family has filed formal paperwork to rename their daughter Primis Fox McEnany, citing “a spiritual and media-rooted calling” behind the decision.
“We prayed on this name,” McEnany told Faith & Family Hour in a prerecorded interview scheduled to air this weekend.
“We wanted something bold, meaningful, and grounded in the values we live by — and the story behind Primis is very special to us.”
🔤 What Does Primis Mean?
The name Primis — Latin for “first” or “foremost” — is also notably connected to Fox Corporation’s internal codename for its digital-first next-generation broadcasting AI system, which launched quietly earlier this year.
Industry insiders say the name was used internally at Fox News headquarters, and never intended for public branding. How McEnany learned of it remains unclear — though her role as co-host of Outnumbered likely gave her proximity to the internal teams.
💬 Conservative Circles React
While many conservatives praised the name as “fresh, pioneering, and faith-anchored,” others are raising eyebrows over naming a child after a corporate system, even one tied to Fox News.
“It’s definitely unconventional,” said media analyst Carla Jenkins. “But it aligns with Kayleigh’s brand: fiercely loyal, unapologetically bold, and determined to stand out.”
📜 A Name with a Message?
Family friends say McEnany wanted her daughter’s name to signal leadership and divine purpose — and that Primis was inspired by a Bible verse she recently shared on air:
“The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.” (Matthew 20:16)
Whether this is a private family decision or a carefully calibrated public statement, one thing is certain: America just met its first-ever baby named Primis Fox.

🚨 Breaking News: Kayleigh McEnany Returns to Fox News — Brings Her Newborn Daughter On Air in Historic Broadcast
By Natalie Pierce | July 29, 2025 | Media & Culture
In a moment that has stunned both supporters and critics, Kayleigh McEnany made her live return to Fox News today — but not alone. Appearing on Outnumbered, McEnany was joined on set by her third daughter, in what insiders are calling “an unprecedented moment in Fox News history.”
👩👧 A Mother’s Message — Live, and Unfiltered
Dressed in a soft pastel suit and cradling baby Primis Fox McEnany, Kayleigh opened the broadcast with an emotional, unscripted monologue about motherhood, faith, the challenges of modern America, and what she called the “urgent need for realness in media.”
“This isn’t just my daughter,” McEnany said, her voice cracking.
“She’s a symbol of what we’re fighting for — truth, strength, and the future of our country.”
As the camera zoomed in, Primis was visibly awake, wrapped in a white-and-gold baby blanket embroidered with the word “Faith.”
🍼 Why It Matters
Fox News has never aired a live segment featuring a host’s infant child in a full broadcast role — let alone centered the episode around it. Producers reportedly approved the concept just 48 hours prior after McEnany pitched the idea in a private meeting with top executives.
Behind the scenes, senior staff described the moment as:
“Authentic, disruptive, and deeply personal — Kayleigh in her purest form.”
🔥 Viewers React — “The Most Raw Fox Has Ever Been”
Social media exploded as the segment aired. The hashtag #PrimisOnFox trended within minutes, with responses ranging from heartfelt support to political skepticism.
-
“I cried,” one user tweeted. “This is what real America looks like. Thank you, Kayleigh.”
-
Others questioned the ethics of bringing a child into such a high-profile media setting:
“Is this political branding, or just a mom being a mom?”
👀 What’s Next?
Insiders suggest this is just the beginning. According to one Fox producer:
“Kayleigh’s segment was a test run for something bigger — perhaps a limited docu-series or a new kind of conservative family-focused content.”
Rumors are already swirling that Primis Fox McEnany may become a recurring presence in future Fox programming focused on “Faith, Family, and Freedom.”
💬 McEnany’s Final Words On-Air
Before the commercial break, Kayleigh held her daughter up to the camera and said:
“This is the America I want her to grow up in — one where mothers speak truth, daughters are fearless, and the media tells the whole story.”
