In an intimate ceremony surrounded by only their closest family and friends, Fox News personalities Peter Doocy and Hillary Vaughn celebrated their love in South Carolina in April 2021. With the Covid-19 pandemic changing the couple’s original wedding plans, they opted for a small gathering, keeping the ceremony private and meaningful. The couple, known for their professional success—Peter as White House correspondent and Hillary as a broadcaster for Fox Business Network—had originally planned to marry in January 2021, but the pandemic forced them to rethink their grand plans and instead, embrace a quieter and more personal celebration.

Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox & Friends, had the honor of being the best man at his son’s wedding, a role he cherished deeply. During the ceremony, Steve delivered an emotional speech, capturing the essence of his son’s childhood and their shared family tradition of writing poems for significant occasions. He shared how the words brought back memories that made him pause, overcome by emotion. “I was good until the next to last line. I had to stop for a second,” Steve confessed. “Reading the poem brought back a lot of memories. The weather was perfect, the food was perfect, and it was absolutely lovely.”

The couple’s special day was captured in a touching montage of wedding photos that Fox News viewers were lucky to catch a glimpse of. Peter looked dashing in a classic tuxedo, while Hillary stunned in an elegant white gown, radiating happiness. The wedding photos showcased not only the couple cutting their gorgeous multi-tiered wedding cake but also the pure joy they shared in the intimate moments they spent together. The love between Peter and Hillary was palpable, creating a day full of memories that would last a lifetime.

Fast forward to the following September, it was revealed that the couple was expecting their first child—something that added even more joy to their already blissful lives. Their baby daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, was born in February 2023 in Northern Virginia, weighing eight pounds and one ounce. This beautiful addition to their family marked the beginning of a new chapter for Peter and Hillary, one filled with sleepless nights, new challenges, and even more love.

Reflecting on her new role as a mother, Hillary Vaughn humorously shared her perspective, comparing the experience of raising her daughter to her career as a reporter on Capitol Hill. “I didn’t realize this until now, but I’ve been training for motherhood my entire career by trying to get lawmakers on Capitol Hill to respond to my questions. This job isn’t much different. ‘Baby Bridget – can you give us a comment? Are you hungry or gassy, or both?’” she said with a smile, pointing out the similarities between asking tough questions in her job and navigating motherhood.

Hillary’s water even broke while she was on her way to Capitol Hill—a true testament to her dedication. Just a week after Bridget’s birth, Hillary proudly called it “the best assignment” she had ever had. Peter, ever supportive, shared that even White House staffers had offered their baby name suggestions in the days leading up to the birth, making the moment even more special.

Their private wedding and the birth of their daughter are just the beginning of a beautiful journey for Peter and Hillary. Through all the challenges, from a global pandemic to the joys of parenthood, their love story continues to unfold in front of the world, inspiring fans with their commitment to one another and the joy they share in their growing family.

The Doocy-Vaughn family’s story is a reminder that no matter the scale of the celebration, love is always worth cherishing and sharing with those who matter most.
