Fox News’ political strategist and The Five co-host Jessica Tarlov delighted viewers on April 1, 2025, when she made a surprise announcement: she’s expecting baby #2! The 39-year-old revealed that she and her husband, Brian McKenna, are expecting another baby girl in April, a sibling for their 2-year-old daughter, Cleo. The moment came during a lively discussion on The Five, where Tarlov was asked if she had arranged to change her seat on a flight due to her pregnancy. In her signature witty style, she responded, “I’m pregnant!”—a statement that took her co-hosts and fans by delightful surprise.

Tarlov shared humorous insights about her family’s journey to prepare for baby #2, including her attempts to explain the pregnancy to her toddler, Cleo, who is in the throes of the “terrible twos.” She joked, “You’re punching your sister, and she doesn’t really seem to care,” adding that Cleo wasn’t quite grasping the idea of a new sibling. Tarlov also humorously mentioned that her husband, Brian, was a little concerned about the surge in estrogen with another girl in the house, sparking laughter from her co-hosts and the audience.
