This week, Peter Doocy, a White House correspondent for Fox News, and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, announced the arrival of their second child, George Jack Doocy.
On April 16, coinciding with the couple’s fourth wedding anniversary, Vaughn gave birth to their son, weighing 8 pounds and 11 ounces, after enduring 30 hours of labor, as reported by Doocy. The couple also has a daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, who is 2 years old and was born in February 2023.
Doocy expressed, “Introducing George Jack Doocy! He arrived after 30 hours of labor from @hillary__vaughn, weighing 8 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches, on our fourth wedding anniversary. I am grateful to my son for ensuring I will always remember to buy a card for your mother when I am out purchasing a birthday card for you!”
Vaughn, a journalist for Fox Business covering Capitol Hill, mentioned that she was engaged in reporting on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on Tax Day when she attended her routine OB-GYN appointment, where she learned that George was “ready to make his entrance.”
Vaughn expressed that he might have been weary of my discussions regarding taxes, and I do not hold it against him.
Doocy mentioned that Bridget was eager to perform ‘Happy Birthday’ for her new brother. Steve Doocy, co-host of ‘Fox and Friends’ and Doocy’s father, stated that he anticipates indulging his grandson, as reported by People. ‘What I observe beyond that is the boundless affection that children exhibit towards their grandparents and vice versa,’ Steve Doocy remarked.
‘Unbeknownst to them, my role as a grandparent is to pamper them excessively throughout their lives.’

In 2023, Doocy and Vaughn celebrated the arrival of their first child, a transformative milestone that shifted his focus away from the daily pressures of engaging with then-White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
During a segment on ‘Fox & Friends’ alongside his father, Steve Doocy, and co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, Peter mentioned that he was enjoying time at home with his wife and their newborn daughter.
Doocy announced the delightful news of Bridget Blake Doocy’s arrival in a social media update in February 2023. He and his wife had earlier revealed their expectation of a baby girl during a ‘Fox & Friends’ segment in September, where his father, Steve, also shared recipes from his cookbook. At a White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre humorously proposed that Doocy name his daughter after her. In reply, Doocy stated that he and his wife would take Jean-Pierre’s suggestion ‘under advisement.’
Steve Doocy remarked in the article: ‘In my book on fatherhood, I referenced a well-known saying: there are three phases in a man’s life: he believes in Santa Claus, he no longer believes in Santa Claus, and ultimately, he becomes Santa Claus.’ Peter, congratulations on reaching the final stage of fatherhood.’
He continued, ‘On the day Peter was born at George Washington Hospital, which is in close proximity to the White House, while his mother Kathy was experiencing intense contractions, she turned to me and asked, ‘When should we begin saving for college?’ My wife was sounding like a financial advisor from Morgan Stanley,’ Steve humorously noted.
