CNN’s Elizabeth Wagmeister Is Pregnant, Expecting First Baby

CNN Correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister is expecting her first baby with husband Michael Sigall, in an exclusive scoop shared with PEOPLE. The 35-year-old journalist, known for her coverage of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal trial, discovered her pregnancy just four days before the trial commenced. Despite the initial shock, Wagmeister expressed her joy at the news but also had concerns about navigating through the demanding trial schedule with her pregnancy.

Relocated from Los Angeles to New York for the two-month trial, Wagmeister had to swiftly find an OBGYN for her first-trimester appointments in New York. Despite the challenges, she managed to keep her pregnancy concealed throughout the trial, only having to step out of the courtroom once due to the intense work hours. Wagmeister commended her team for their dedication during the trial and found solace in their professionalism amid her pregnancy.

Due on January 3, just after New Year’s Day, Wagmeister shared her excitement at the prospect of parenthood. She joked about potentially missing the New Year’s Eve show due to her due date but looked forward to sharing the news with her family and friends. With family members also expecting babies around the same time, Wagmeister’s joy was compounded by the shared experience of pregnancy within her close circle.

Entering the second trimester, Wagmeister revealed her pregnancy cravings for fruit and smoothies, a departure from her carb-heavy first-trimester diet. She acknowledged the challenges of juggling work commitments and pregnancy symptoms but expressed gratitude for the support of her colleagues at CNN. Wagmeister plans to keep the name of her son a secret until his birth, creating an air of anticipation around the impending arrival.

As Wagmeister prepares to debut her baby bump at the Emmy Awards this weekend, she reflects on the unique experience of covering the event while pregnant. Grateful for the support and camaraderie of her CNN colleagues, Wagmeister looks forward to navigating motherhood with the same resilience she displays in her work. Her story serves as a testament to the strength and dedication of working mothers in balancing professional pursuits with the joys and challenges of pregnancy and impending parenthood.

The exclusive reveal of Elizabeth Wagmeister’s pregnancy adds a heartwarming touch to her journalistic achievements and underscores the universal nature of the journey to parenthood. With her due date fast approaching, Wagmeister’s story resonates with the joy, excitement, and occasional trepidation that come with expecting a first child. As she prepares to embrace this new chapter in her life, Wagmeister’s blend of professionalism and personal fulfilment stands as an inspiration to women navigating similar paths of career success and motherhood.
