Inside Fox News’ Hillary Vaughn and Peter Doocy’s marriage after small wedding and famous best man as they welcome baby

THEY are known for entertaining and informing Americans on the latest developments in politics and business.

But, Fox’s Hillary Vaughn, 32, and Peter Doocy, 35, had some breaking news of their own as they welcomed Bridget Blake Doocy into the world on February 1.

White House correspondent Peter and Fox Business Network broadcaster Hillary tied the knot in a ceremony in South Carolina in April 2021.

Peter’s dad Steve, an anchor on Fox & Friends, revealed that there were just 18 guests, as the nuptials were held during the Covid-19 pandemic.

He told Fox News that his son and Hillary were supposed to marry in January 2021.

Steve said that the nuptials were “beautiful.” He revealed that he was his son’s best man and gave a speech at the event.

He recalled that members of the Doocy family write poems for celebratory occasions.

Steve said: “I was good until the next to last line. I had to stop for a second.”

He admitted that memories from his son’s childhood came flooding back while reading the poem.

Reminiscing on the event, Steve said: “The weather was perfect. The food was perfect. It was absolutely lovely.”

Fox News viewers were treated to a montage of snaps from Peter and Hillary’s big day.

Peter sported a dapper tux while Hillary dazzled in her long white gown.

Heartwarming pictures showed the newlyweds cutting their towered wedding cake together.

More than a year later, it was revealed in September that Hillary was expecting a child.

The news was announced during a live cooking segment.

Steve was on-air for the moment when he shared a recipe from The Simply Happy Cookbook.

‘EATING FOR TWO’
The broadcasters were gathered to try the Iowa Caucus Casserole, inspired by Peter’s work in politics.

Steve said: “This food is particularly good if you are really hungry, and Hillary is hungry all of the time.”

Hillary quipped: “That’s because I’m eating for two.”

She said at the time the baby was due at the end of January.

The couple has now become first-time parents after Bridget was born at the start of the month.

She was born in northern Virginia, weighing eight pounds and one ounce.

Hillary told People: “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?’ Trying to get an on-the-record answer is tough!”

The new mom revealed that her water broke while she was on the way to Capitol Hill.

Just a week has passed since Bridget was born and Hillary said that it’s the “best assignment” she’s ever had.

Political reporter Peter has opened up on the names that White House staffers suggested in the run-up to the birth.

He said: “The Press Secretary gave me permission to name the baby Karine.”

Karine Jean-Pierre has served as White House press secretary since May 2022.

It comes as Kayleigh McEnany returned to host Outnumbered on Tuesday – months after she gave birth to her second child Nash.

She and her husband former MLB pitcher Sean Gilmartin welcomed the baby in November.
