A Special Birth on a Special Day

The baby was born on April 16, a date that holds extra significance for the couple. Not only was it the day George Jack entered the world, but it was also the Doocy-Vaughn’s fourth wedding anniversary. Peter Doocy, known for his light-hearted humor, made sure to acknowledge the coincidence in his Instagram post:
“Thank you, son, for being the reason I’ll never forget to get your mom a card when I’m grabbing a birthday card for you,” he joked, adding a personal and humorous touch to the announcement.

George Jack, who weighs nearly 9 pounds and is 20.5 inches long, joins older sister Bridget in the growing Doocy family. The proud parents shared a carousel of heartwarming photos, including one with Bridget wearing a “big sister” dress and grinning ear-to-ear as she held her newborn brother.

A Family Celebrating New Beginnings

For Hillary Vaughn, a correspondent at Fox Business Network, the day of George’s birth was as unconventional as it was unforgettable. Vaughn, who was reporting on Capitol Hill for Tax Day, learned from her OB-GYN that it was time to head to the hospital. She humorously remarked, “Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes – I don’t blame him,” reflecting on how the timing of George’s birth was connected to her work covering financial matters.

Despite the whirlwind of being a working mom and a new mother to a baby boy, Vaughn couldn’t be happier. “Growing our family means giving our kids lifelong best friends, and as a new heartbeat fills our home, our hearts are filled with more love than ever before,” she shared, adding that Bridget’s excitement to become a big sister was a joy to witness.

Parenthood, With a Side of Humor

Vaughn, who previously joked about the challenges of motherhood, found herself learning new things with the arrival of her son. “Never let your guard down during diaper changes, otherwise you’ll be ‘baptized,’” she shared in a humorous reflection on the learning curve of having a baby boy.

Peter Doocy also couldn’t help but share how excited Bridget was to welcome her brother. “She actually sang Happy Birthday in the hospital when she first saw her brother,” Peter revealed. The sweet moment captured just how much love and joy the family is embracing with their growing family.

A Family Moment with Grandfather Steve Doocy

Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, who co-hosts Fox & Friends, also weighed in on the momentous day, sharing a funny anecdote with his followers. Recalling the infamous bird incident that occurred during Peter’s live broadcast earlier that day, Steve joked, “That bird that hit Peter—was it a stork?” This playful quip was a lighthearted nod to the chaos of the day, which was punctuated by both a live broadcast and the arrival of a new family member.

Peter’s family has been eagerly following the journey of his expanding family, and Steve’s humor added a fun spin to an already memorable occasion. “Peter went home, shampooed his hair to get the dirty bird out, and Hillary went into labor sometime after the cream rinse,” Steve continued, adding another humorous layer to the day’s events.

A Warm Welcome from Fans and Followers

As soon as the news broke, fans flooded social media with congratulations, expressing their joy for the family’s newest addition. One follower wrote, “So happy for you both! Two of the most honest reporters in the media today! Congratulations on the precious blessing of your baby boy.”

Another fan shared, “Congratulations on your beautiful family! What a precious gift, and I wish you many years of happiness together.” The messages of support and joy were overwhelming, as the couple’s followers continued to celebrate this special moment with them.

From Christmas Excitement to Baby George

The announcement of George Jack’s birth comes after the couple had already shared the news of their pregnancy back in December 2024. In a heartwarming holiday post, Peter Doocy revealed that the couple was expecting a baby boy, captioning the image: “Good tidings of great joy… we are having a BOY!” The announcement, made during their family’s Christmas celebrations, captured their daughter Bridget’s adorable request for a baby brother in her letter to Santa.

As the couple now enjoys their growing family, Peter and Hillary continue to share their personal moments with their fans. From their heartfelt baby news to family milestones, their followers are eagerly following every step of their journey.

Looking Ahead: The Future for the Doocy Family

With their second child now a part of the family, Peter and Hillary’s story is one of love, laughter, and the joys of parenthood.
