Rachel Campos-Duffy Opens Up: “I Didn’t Think I Could Do It—But They’re So Lovable”

In today’s fast-paced, media-saturated world, it’s rare to find a public figure who balances national TV appearances with nightly bedtime stories for nine children. But Rachel Campos-Duffy, a Fox News contributor and conservative commentator, does just that—and with remarkable honesty.

Married to former Congressman and reality TV alum Sean Duffy, Rachel isn’t just managing a large household. She’s proudly leading one, filled with nine biological children who reflect the couple’s deep faith, values, and love.Rachel Campos-Duffy of Wausau talks about new job on Fox & Friends

A Full House—With Room for Grace

Raising nine kids may sound chaotic to most, but Rachel paints a different picture.

“I didn’t think I could do it,” she admitted in a recent interview. “But they’re so lovable. Each one has brought more joy than I ever thought possible.”

While many speculated whether some of the Duffy children were adopted, both Sean and Rachel have publicly confirmed that all nine kids are their biological children. But what makes their family so compelling isn’t biology—it’s the bond they’ve built.

Meet the Duffy Children

From their eldest daughter’s leadership to their youngest’s resilience, each child adds something special to the Duffy legacy:

Evita Pilar (b. 1999) – A University of Chicago graduate and co-founder of The Chicago Thinker, Evita is married and already following in her parents’ footsteps as a cultural thought leader.

Xavier Jack (b. 2001) – Studying Digital Media Communications at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Xavier is carving out his own identity, blending creativity with civic engagement.

Patrick Miguel (b. 2016) – One of the younger Duffys, Patrick is described as lively and sweet—a constant source of joy.

Valentina Stella Maris (b. 2019) – Born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect, Valentina’s arrival changed everything. In fact, her birth was the reason Sean Duffy resigned from Congress in 2019—to dedicate more time to her care and the family.

The rest of the Duffy children, including six daughters and three sons total, enjoy life on the family’s property in Newnan, Georgia. From homeschooling days to family dinners, Rachel and Sean are fully immersed in every moment.Rachel Campos-Duffy Talks Raising 8 Children

Faith, Family, and Public Life

Despite their demanding careers, both Sean and Rachel have made it clear: family comes first. Their Catholic faith is the cornerstone of their parenting philosophy, and it’s something they’ve never shied away from sharing.

They’re also active in their community, often involving their kids in charitable work. From food drives to local outreach events, the Duffys use their platform to encourage civic responsibility—teaching their children that leadership starts at home.

A Legacy of Love

Rachel’s candidness about motherhood has resonated with many. In an age where social media often paints parenting as either perfect or chaotic, she offers a refreshingly real take.

“It’s not always easy,” she’s said, “but it’s always worth it.”

With nine children, an enduring marriage, and a life rooted in purpose, Rachel and Sean Campos-Duffy offer more than political commentary. They’re living a story of family, faith, and unconditional love—and inviting America to witness it.
