Peter Doocy, Fox News’ favorite White House correspondent, and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, have just welcomed their second child into the world, and the timing could not have been more perfect. The couple, known for their down-to-earth personalities and professional poise, are now celebrating the arrival of their son, George Jack Doocy, who made his debut on April 16, 2024. The birth was a joyous occasion, not only marking the arrival of their baby boy but also coinciding with a very special milestone for Peter and Hillary— their fourth wedding anniversary.

The birth of George was a highly anticipated moment for the couple, and it arrived after a long, 30-hour labor. Despite the exhausting process, the couple was overjoyed, and the first glimpse of their newborn, along with the proud family photos, was shared with the world via Instagram. The post was filled with love and gratitude, showcasing their newborn son, George, along with his big sister, Bridget, and the smiling new parents. The snapshot captured the pure joy that came with the arrival of their second child and the beginnings of a new chapter in the couple’s family story.

In the Instagram post, Peter, known for his sharp wit and sense of humor, jokingly thanked his son for arriving on his wedding anniversary, quipping, “So thank you, son, for being the reason I’ll never forget to get your mom a card when I’m grabbing a birthday card for you.” This humorous and heartwarming message showed just how thrilled Peter and Hillary were to welcome their son, with the added twist of their anniversary being a day they would never forget.

 

George Jack Doocy made his grand entrance into the world weighing just under 9 pounds and measuring 20.5 inches long, making him a healthy and strong addition to the family. The timing of George’s arrival was especially significant, as his birth fell right around Tax Day. Hillary, a Fox Business correspondent, was on Capitol Hill when she first suspected that her son might be making his entrance sooner than expected. “Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes—I don’t blame him,” she quipped in her post, adding a light-hearted touch to the occasion. She also mentioned, with a chuckle, that Peter had taken care of their taxes early this year, easing any potential stress surrounding the busy time of year.

As they adjusted to the exciting new dynamic of having two children, Peter and Hillary reflected on the joy their growing family brings. Their first child, Bridget, who was born in 2023, was all smiles as she posed proudly with her little brother.

In one of the most heartwarming moments shared from the hospital, Bridget, wearing a “big sister” dress, sang “Happy Birthday” to George the first time she saw him. The picture-perfect moment encapsulated the love and excitement that both parents and their growing family shared as they welcomed the new addition.

While adjusting to life as a mother of two, Hillary shared some humorous observations about motherhood, especially her experience with diaper changes. She noted, “Never let your guard down during diaper changes, or you’ll be baptized,” alluding to the surprise moments of parenting. Her candidness about the ups and downs of raising children, particularly as a “boy mom” for the first time, resonated with her followers, many of whom appreciated her openness about the challenges and joys of motherhood. Hillary also expressed how much her heart had expanded with the arrival of George, saying, “Growing our family means giving our kids lifelong best friends… our hearts are filled with more love than ever before.”

The couple’s announcement was met with overwhelming support from their fans and colleagues alike, with many taking to the comments section to offer congratulations and share in the excitement.

In true Doocy fashion, Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, the host of Fox & Friends, couldn’t resist adding a dad joke to the mix. Just hours before Hillary went into labor, Peter had been involved in an amusing incident when a bird attacked him live on air. Steve, ever the jokester, had a playful comment for the family after the birth. “I woke up my wife Kathy, who listened, paused for a moment and said, ‘That bird that hit Peter—was it a stork?’” Steve joked, referencing the classic symbol of birth in his typical lighthearted style.

 

He continued the playful banter, saying, “That night Peter went home, shampooed his hair to get the dirty bird out, and Hillary went into labor sometime after the cream rinse.” The quip was a delightful addition to the joy surrounding the birth and showed just how much humor runs in the Doocy family.

The announcement of George’s birth came just a few months after Peter and Hillary revealed on Instagram that they were expecting a boy. In an adorable post, they shared a picture of Bridget holding up a handwritten Santa list, which read: “Dear Santa, baby brother please! Bridget.” The festive and sweet photo added an extra layer of warmth to the couple’s pregnancy reveal, showcasing Bridget’s excitement for the arrival of her sibling. It was clear that the Doocy family was ready for their new addition, and Bridget was especially eager to take on her new role as a big sister.

As Peter and Hillary adjust to life with two children, they continue to inspire their followers with their genuine and relatable updates. The couple has always shared their lives openly, from Peter’s work in the White House press room to the moments they cherish at home as parents. Their ability to balance humor, love, and family has made them beloved figures to many, and their fans are thrilled to continue following their journey as they navigate parenthood with grace and laughter.

The arrival of George marks an exciting new chapter in the Doocy family’s story.
