By the Numbers: Their American Dream
• 6 – Years married (since 2017)
• 2 – Children (Blake, 5 and Nash, 2)
• 1 – Baby due June 2024
• 4 – MLB teams played for (Braves, Mets, Orioles, Rays)
• 16K – Instagram followers tracking his hunting adventures

The Making of a Modern Power Couple
Their relationship timeline reveals careful planning:
2015: Met through mutual friends in Florida
2017: Wed in private ceremony
2019: First child born during McEnany’s White House rise
2021: Gilmartin retires as McEnany joins Fox News
2024: Expanding their family while dominating conservative media

Why Washington Can’t Stop Watching
Gilmartin represents a new breed of political spouse:
✓ Comfortable out of spotlight
✓ Secure in supporting role
✓ Brings athlete’s perspective to parenting
✓ Maintains independent passions (hunting, dogs)

As McEnany told viewers: “This pregnancy journey will be different – we’re bringing America along this time.” For a couple that’s mastered keeping some things private, that’s quite the promise.
