This spring, Peter Doocy, a Fox News White House correspondent, and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, celebrated a milestone that will never happen again. On April 16, 2025, the couple had their second child, a baby boy named George Jack Doocy. This was already a momentous day for them because it was their fourth wedding anniversary. The day was wonderful because of love, strength, and the arrival of a new life after a difficult 30-hour labor. It was a meeting of the past, present, and future.
People know Peter for being witty on TV, and he stayed funny even when he was going through the emotional ups and downs of giving birth. He told People, “On our anniversary, I had thirty hours of labor and George came out.” “Thanks, son, for making sure I never forget the card from your mom.” His lightheartedness indicates that the two of them can find humor and meaning in even the most severe situations. This is a talent that undoubtedly helped them deal with the stress of having a new baby and the long labor.
When he arrived here, George weighed 7 pounds and 6 ounces. He was awake, healthy, and loved straight immediately. New babies always bring change, but the Doocy family was even more excited about his coming. Their daughter Bridget Blake was born in early 2023, and since then, she has been the most important thing in their lives. When she started her new career, she was full of the confidence and wonder that only a child can have. When she saw her little brother, she sang “Happy Birthday” to him right away. That wonderful song began a new chapter in both George’s and Bridget’s lives.
Seeing their daughter hug her infant brother made the event even more special for Peter and Hillary. They wanted their kids to get closer over time, with a bond that was strong and lasting, made up of shared laughter, disagreements, and the kind of love that only siblings know.
Things at home went from being neat to being a lovely mess all of a sudden. Hillary, who is a FOX Business journalist and a mother, chuckled about how quickly she had to get used to being a “boy mom.” The transition happened quickly and taught me a lot, like how to deal with surprises when changing diapers and sleep habits that weren’t always the same. “It’s a different kind of whirlwind,” she said. “I thought I was ready, but George is already teaching me new things every day and making sure I’m always on my toes.”
It was hard, but the enjoyment was evident. Peter commented that his house felt not only fuller but also richer. “Bridget is pulling on my sleeve, George is crying, and Hillary is smiling. You never want to be without this kind of loudness. He loves this kind of chaos because he’s used to dealing with high-stakes press conferences and the volatility of national politics.
The Doocy family was delighted about more than simply the nuclear unit. Steve Doocy, Peter’s dad and a long-time co-host of Fox & Friends, was happy to be a grandfather again. He said proudly, “This is the best promotion I’ve ever had.” Steve has always liked being a family man, and having a second granddaughter has just made that tie stronger. People know him for being hilarious and kind. It was clear that he was proud of how well his son was handling the duties of being a father, especially with such grace and humor.
Peter and Hillary’s story is about how love and the unknown can help individuals become better. Their wedding anniversary was already a day to think about and be thankful for, but now that their kid is here, it’s even more meaningful. Hillary didn’t sugarcoat it when she thought about the long hours of labor. “It was the hardest and best anniversary gift we could have ever given each other,” she said. She was tired yet proud.
“Covering politics keeps me on my toes,” Peter said one last time, mixing honesty with humor. This sums up their trip. But really? Being a parent is hard, but it’s also incredibly great.
George’s arrival has marked a new chapter in the Doocy family’s existence. There are a lot of laughs, messes, milestones, and memories during this stage. Peter and Hillary are known for their clever interviews and reporting, but their best stories are happening at home, one happy day at a time.
