In a surprise twist that left both fans and Fox News staff stunned, Laura Ingraham’s first adopted son has officially joined the Fox News team — and no one, not even his famous mother, saw it coming.
According to exclusive sources, the 20-year-old quietly submitted his application months ago under a different last name, determined to earn his place without any favoritism or special treatment. He reportedly went through multiple rounds of interviews and screenings before anyone discovered his true identity.
What’s more — Laura herself was kept completely in the dark.
“He wanted to prove he was capable of standing on his own,” said one producer familiar with the situation. “He didn’t want to be ‘Laura Ingraham’s son’ — he wanted to be his own person. And honestly, he impressed everyone.”
The surprise was finally revealed during a live taping of The Ingraham Angle, when the young man was introduced at the end of a segment as part of the network’s new digital research team. As the camera panned to him, Laura’s jaw dropped.
“Wait… what?” she laughed, visibly emotional. “What are you doing here?”
“I work here now,” he said with a grin. “Surprise, Mom.”
The audience erupted in applause as Laura got up from behind the desk and gave her son a heartfelt hug — a moment that quickly went viral online.
Fox News later confirmed his hiring in a brief statement:
“We’re proud to welcome a new member to the Fox family — and even prouder of the journey he took to get here.”
The young Ingraham has since revealed that his role will focus on youth engagement and digital innovation, helping Fox News connect with a new generation of viewers.
As for Laura? She’s still processing it.
“I thought I was going to teach him everything about this place,” she joked. “Turns out, he’s teaching me.”
