Peter Doocy, a prominent figure at Fox News, and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, have celebrated the arrival of their third child, a baby daughter named Molly Kate, born on 22 October 2026. This latest addition brings the couple’s family to five, creating new dynamics for their household.
Doocy and Vaughn’s relationship began when they were colleagues at Fox News. While the exact timeline of their courtship remains somewhat ambiguous, the couple married in April 2021. Their journey into parenthood started soon after their wedding, as they welcomed their daughter, Bridget, in February 2023, followed by a son, George, born in April 2025.
In a light-hearted reflection on Molly Kate’s arrival, Doocy noted, “She arrived a few days after the due date — but just in time for midterm election results.” The couple expressed their feelings of gratitude and excitement, stating how thrilled they are to embrace their new roles as parents of three.
At present, Doocy hosts *The Sunday Briefing,* a morning show on Fox News, alongside Jacqui Heinrich. Meanwhile, Vaughn maintains her role as a Washington-based correspondent for the Fox Business Network, showcasing her dedication to journalism while managing her growing family.
Their wedding took place at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina, and was a quaint affair attended by only 18 guests, a decision made necessary by COVID-19 restrictions. The couple initially had plans for a larger celebration in January 2021. Doocy’s father, Steve Doocy, who also co-hosts *Fox & Friends*, later shared details of the intimate ceremony on air, explaining how they had to adapt their plans due to the ongoing pandemic.
The couple first shared the news of their pregnancy with Bridget during a segment on *Fox & Friends*, where Hilary cleverly remarked, “That’s because I’m eating for two,” while showing a sonogram to viewers. Their journey since becoming parents has been intertwined with their professional lives, often leading to memorable moments.
Welcoming their first child was quite the adventure for Vaughn, who experienced the excitement of her water breaking while en route to work on Capitol Hill. Reflecting on the situation, she humorously noted her knowledge of senior lawmakers who were doctors, but fortunately, she did not need to reach out for assistance.
Two years after Bridget’s birth, George made his debut on 16 April 2025. His arrival, however, was noted during Vaughn’s routine prenatal appointment while she was covering a tax report on Capitol Hill. The surprise announcement from her physician prompted a swift transition into motherhood once more.
The arrival of Molly Kate came with its own set of humorous challenges. When the couple introduced their new daughter to her older siblings, the moment did not unfold as they had envisioned. “What we envisioned as the picture-perfect moment was quintessential toddlerhood,” Vaughn recounted. The emotional welcome turned chaotic, as George burst into tears at the first sight of his new baby sister, prompting a cascade of crying from Molly Kate and almost drawing Bridget into the fray.
As the Doocy family of five embarks on this new chapter, the couple continues to balance their responsibilities both at home and professionally. Their shared experiences as parents and colleagues demonstrate the unique challenges and joys that come with managing a demanding career while nurturing a growing family. The couple’s journey plays out not only on the news but also within their family, highlighting the rich tapestry of their lives intertwined with their commitment to both work and family.
