Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov Announces She’s Expecting Her Second Baby, Reveals Gender on The Five
Fox News political strategist and commentator Jessica Tarlov made an exciting announcement on a recent episode of The Five, revealing that she is expecting her second child. The 39-year-old television personality joyfully shared that she and her husband, Brian McKenna, are preparing to welcome a baby girl in April.
A Surprise Announcement
During Wednesday’s episode of The Five, the topic of needing to change seats on a flight due to pregnancy came up. Co-hosts jokingly asked Tarlov if she was prepared to request a seat change for her “condition” while flying to Iowa. In response, she confirmed the news for the first time on-air.
“My condition, yes, my very pregnant chonky condition,” she quipped. The other hosts, taken aback, responded with surprise before she proudly exclaimed, “I’m pregnant!”
Growing Family
Tarlov and McKenna’s new bundle of joy will be their second child together. Their first daughter, Cleo Markie McKenna, was born on December 11, 2021, making her just over two years old. The couple, who tied the knot in May 2021, are now preparing for a household with two young children.
During the episode, Tarlov was asked whether she had broken the news to Cleo about her soon-to-arrive sibling. She shared a humorous anecdote about how Cleo is navigating the “terrible twos” phase and hasn’t quite grasped the concept yet.
“I tried,” Tarlov said. “Mostly, she’s in that little violent stage. I’m like, ‘You’re punching your sister,’ and she doesn’t really seem to care.”
Despite the toddler’s indifference, Tarlov expressed her excitement about having another baby girl. However, she jokingly admitted that her husband is slightly apprehensive about the growing number of females in their home.
“Brian is a little bit concerned about the level of estrogen that is about to be in the household,” she laughed.
Fans Celebrate the News
After the surprise reveal, fans quickly took to social media to congratulate Tarlov on the exciting news. Messages of support and joy flooded X (formerly known as Twitter), with many celebrating the upcoming addition to her family.
“Congratulations!” one user wrote. “If this new baby is as cute as Cleo, she will have a family of beauties!”
