“Well, here is a Fox News alert: another one is on the way. My wife, Hillary, is pregnant.”

Doocy is married to former Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn, who already share two kids together.
Doocy’s daughter, Bridget, was born in February 2023, while his son, George, was born in April 2025.
Doocy told viewers his third child was due in November.
Doocy has been a consistent figure in White House press briefings and has covered the White House since President Donald Trump departed office in 2021 and repeatedly clashed with then-President Joe Biden and former White House press secretaries Jen Psaki and Karine Jean-Pierre, already has two kids with his wife.
Doocy’s repeated clashes with the Biden administration consistently generated viral attention on social media.
Meanwhile, during the Trump administration, he’s also gone viral for having multiple altercations with birds during live shoots from the White House’s outdoor media booths.
The first incident, which took place around the time his son was born in April 2025, involved a pigeon landing on Doocy’s head while he was discussing tariffs imposed by Trump on China and a water dispute with Mexico during a “Fox and Friends” segment.
