Jessica Tarlov’s Pregnancy Revealed Live on Air by Dana Perino in an Awkward but Lighthearted Moment
Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov, known for her role as the lone liberal voice on “The Five,” found herself unexpectedly announcing her pregnancy during a live broadcast.
The moment came courtesy of her co-host, former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino, who accidentally let the news slip on air.
Despite the initial awkwardness, the incident quickly turned into a humorous and lighthearted exchange between the two colleagues, showcasing their amicable relationship despite their political differences.
The unexpected reveal took place on Wednesday night’s episode of “The Five” while the panel discussed a survey suggesting that most people had not tried anything new in the past two months. Perino turned to Tarlov and, in an attempt to contribute to the discussion, hinted at a significant life change for her colleague.
“Jessica, did you try anything new?” Perino asked, before adding, “You’ve got something new coming.”
Tarlov, caught off guard by the remark, hesitated for a moment before realizing there was no way to avoid confirming the news.
“Yeah, and now the audience knows,” she responded, officially announcing her pregnancy. Her admission elicited laughter from the rest of the panel, and Perino instantly realized her mistake, covering her face in embarrassment.
Although the moment may have been unplanned, it did not appear to create any animosity between the two co-hosts. The pair later exchanged warm messages on Twitter, with Perino playfully acknowledging the situation to her 1.9 million followers.
“I love this woman @JessicaTarlov,” Perino tweeted. “Let me be the one to accidentally spill the beans. But they are such good beans.”
Tarlov, taking the situation in stride, responded with humor and gratitude: “Saved me a lot of fretting over a reveal. Love you!”
Tarlov, who has been a Fox News contributor since 2017, frequently provides a Democratic perspective during discussions on “The Five.”
As the rotating panel of conservative-leaning commentators debates current events and political issues, Tarlov often serves as a counterbalance, offering alternative viewpoints.
Despite their ideological differences, she and Perino have maintained a respectful and friendly relationship, as evidenced by their interactions both on and off the air.
Tarlov and her husband, Russian athlete Roman Kuznetsov, were married in June after dating since 2017. This marks the couple’s first child together, though further details such as the baby’s gender and due date have yet to be disclosed.
While the revelation may not have happened as planned, the spontaneous and good-natured nature of the moment underscored the camaraderie between Perino and Tarlov. Viewers of “The Five” often witness spirited debates between the co-hosts, but this incident served as a reminder that, at the end of the day, their working relationship extends beyond political divisions.
With the pregnancy news now public, Fox News audiences can likely expect more lighthearted moments and baby-related discussions in the months to come. As for Tarlov, she can now fully embrace this exciting new chapter in her life without having to worry about how to share the news—Perino took care of that for her!
