Fox News’ Peter Doocy and wife Hillary welcome second baby after 30-hour labor on a very special day
Fox News favorite Peter Doocy and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, have welcomed baby number two — and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
Doocy, the White House correspondent known for grilling press secretaries and keeping calm under pressure, became a father again after a whopping 30 hours of labor that ended in joy and a whole lot of adorable baby pictures.

The couple announced the arrival of their son, George Jack Doocy, in a sweet Instagram post that showed off the tiny bundle, proud big sister Bridget, and the smiling new parents. Weighing in at nearly 9 pounds and stretching 20.5 inches, George made his debut on April 16 — which just so happens to be Peter and Hillary’s fourth wedding anniversary.
“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,” Peter joked in the post.
Born Just in Time — and Right on Tax Day?
Fox Business correspondent Hillary Vaughn revealed that she was on Capitol Hill covering Tax Day when she began to suspect that baby George was ready to make his entrance.
“Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes — I don’t blame him,” she quipped, adding, “I’m glad Peter took care of our taxes early this year!”
Bridget Takes On Big Sister Duties
Little Bridget, the couple’s first child born in 2023, was all smiles in the family snaps, proudly wearing a dress labeled “big sister” as she cuddled up to her newborn sibling. The heart-melting moment? She reportedly sang “Happy Birthday” to George the first time she laid eyes on him in the hospital.

Hillary, adjusting to life as a boy mom, admitted there’s been a learning curve. “Never let your guard down during diaper changes,” she warned, “or you’ll be baptized.”
She added, “Growing our family means giving our kids lifelong best friends… our hearts are filled with more love than ever before.”
Grandpa Steve Doocy Weighs In — With a Bird Joke?
Peter’s father, Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy, couldn’t resist a classic dad joke while reflecting on the birth.
Just hours before Hillary went into labor, Peter was attacked by a bird live on air. “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.
“That night Peter went home, shampooed his hair to get the dirty bird out, and Hillary went into labor sometime after the cream rinse.”
Fans Shower the Couple With Love
Supporters and colleagues flooded the comments with love for the growing family.
“So happy for you both! Two of the most honest reporters in the media today!” one wrote.
“Beautiful family — mazel tov!” added another.
The news comes just months after the couple revealed on Instagram that they were expecting a boy, sharing a festive photo with Bridget’s handwritten Santa list that adorably read: “Dear Santa, baby brother please! Bridget.”
