“Welcome to the world sweet Brock,” Shimkus joyfully shared on Instagram with a snap of herself and her newborn.
“You have unlocked a place in our hearts we didn’t even know we had. Your dad and I love you so much!”
F&F First anchors Todd Prio and Ashley Strohmier announced the news with their Shot Of The Morning at the end of Friday’s show.
“Fox and Friends family can officially make it official, we just got a little bit bigger, we’re going to be responsible for raising Carley’s child,” Prio said.
“We are thrilled to announce that Carley Shimkus is a new mom to a healthy baby boy.”
“His name is so sweet, it’s Brock Edward,” Strohmier gushed, as she revealed the newborn was born on Monday weighing 7 pounds and 1 ounce, “Look how perfect he is,” she added.
Shimkus first shared the happy news of her pregnancy live on Fox & Friends First last August.
“My announcement is, that I’m pregnant!” Shimkus said at the time.
The banner on the news program read: CARLEY IS PREGNANT!
“I’m gonna be a mom! I’m so excited about this. I’m so excited to see my husband, Pete, with the baby. He’s gonna be the best dad!…A lot of changes, but all good ones,” she added.
Shimkus replaced Jillian Mele on Fox and Friends First in 2021 after she left the company to pursue an MBA at La Salle University in Philadelphia.
The new mom previously worked as a producer for Fox Business Network and has appeared as a co-host for Fox Nation, initially joining the network in 2009.
Businessman Buchignani has been married to Shimkus since August 2015.
He has long done work in sales, including positions at Amherst Pierpont Securities, Barclays Capital, and Deutsch Financial Institution, HindiAble reported.
Shimkus and Buchignani met in 2011 at Shimkus’ 23rd birthday party, according to the site.
Their relationship reportedly did not begin until two years later.
While Buchignani prefers to remain out of the spotlight, his wife often posts pictures of the two on Instagram.
