Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, announced this week that they have welcomed their second child, George Jack Doocy.
On April 16, the couple’s fourth wedding anniversary, Vaughn gave birth to her 8-pound, 11-ounce baby after 30 hours of labor, according to Doocy. The couple also has a 2-year-old daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, who they welcomed in February 2023.
“Meet George Jack Doocy! Born after 30 hours of @hillary__vaughn labor at 8lb, 11oz and 20.5”- on our 4th 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!” Doocy said.
Vaughn, a Fox Business Capitol Hill journalist, said she was reporting on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Tax Day when she went to her normal OB-GYN checkup, when she discovered George was “ready to come out.”
“Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes. I don’t blame him!” Vaughn told said.
Doocy added that Bridget was excited to sing “Happy Birthday” to her new brother.
Doocy’s father, “Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy, said he is looking forward to spoiling his grandson, according to People.
“But what I see beyond that is the unconditional love that the kids show to their grandparents and vice versa,” Steve Doocy said. “Little do they know as a grandparent, my job is to spoil them rotten the rest of their lives.”

Doocy and Vaughn welcomed their first child in 2023.
It was a life-changing event that took him away from his daily pressuring of then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
In a segment on “Fox & Friends” with his father, Steve Doocy, and co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, Peter said he was spending time at home with his wife and their newborn daughter.
Doocy shared the joyous news of Bridget Blake Doocy’s birth in a social media post in February of 2023. He and his wife had previously announced that they were expecting a baby girl during a “Fox & Friends” segment in September, where his father, Steve, also shared recipes from his cookbook.
During a White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre jokingly suggested that Doocy should name his daughter after her.
In response, Doocy said that he and his spouse would consider Jean-Pierre’s suggestion “under advisement.”
In addition, he posted a photograph on Instagram Jan. 6 as he shouted a question to President Joe Biden. Doocy captioned the post reading, “MISTER PRESIDENT, WHAT SHOULD WE NAME OUR DAUGHTER?”
After his daughter’s birth, Doocy noted on Twitter: “Asked @joebiden for tips about being a new dad, at the WH holiday reception. His advice: ‘hold her tight.’ Will do!”
PEOPLE magazine published a story and exclusive photos of the joyous occasion.
“I didn’t realize this until now, but I’ve been training for motherhood my entire career by trying to get lawmakers on Capitol Hill to respond to my questions. This job isn’t much different,” Hillary, a Fox Business reporter, told PEOPLE. “‘Baby Bridget – can you give us a comment? Are you hungry or gassy, or both?’ Trying to get an on-the-record answer is tough!”
“I knew where all the offices were for senators who used to be doctors. Sen. Barrasso (Wyoming physician of the year) saw me the day before I went into labor and told me to reach out if I ever needed anything. Luckily, I didn’t have to call him to catch the baby!” Hillary continued. “I’ve only been a mom for one week, but it’s already the best assignment I’ve ever had. She’s stolen the show!”
Steve Doocy added for the article: “When I wrote a book on fatherhood, I highlighted a famous quote that, ‘There are three stages of a man’s life: he believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.’ Peter, congratulations, you just made it to fatherhood’s third round.”
“The day Peter was born at George Washington Hospital — not far from the White House, while his mother Kathy was having killer contractions — she turned and said to me, ‘When should we start a college fund?’ My wife was sounding like a Morgan Stanley commercial,” Steve joked.
