Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov Reveals She’s Expecting Baby No. 2 — And It’s a Girl!

Jessica Tarlov, political strategist and co-host of Fox News’ The Five, had some heartwarming news to share this week — she’s pregnant with her second child!

During a light-hearted moment on a recent live episode, the 39-year-old commentator stunned her fellow co-hosts by casually revealing she’s six and a half months along and expecting a baby girl in April with her husband, Brian McKenna.

A Surprise On-Air Announcement

While the hosts were chatting about travel and flying while pregnant, one co-host jokingly asked Tarlov if she was planning to switch seats on her flight to Iowa “because of her condition.”

With a laugh and a grin, Tarlov responded:
“My condition, yes — my very pregnant, chonky condition.”

The others on set were clearly caught off guard.
“Wait… what?” one asked, before Tarlov shouted with a smile, “I’m pregnant!”

It was the first time she had confirmed the news publicly, and fans quickly flooded social media with messages of support and excitement.

Growing Family, Growing Love

Jessica and Brian, who tied the knot in May 2021, are already parents to their first daughter, Cleo Markie McKenna, born in December 2021. Now at two years old, Cleo is about to become a big sister — although she may not quite realize what that means just yet.

Tarlov shared a funny update about how her toddler is handling the news.
“She’s in that terrible twos, slightly violent stage,” Tarlov joked.
“I’m like, ‘You’re punching your sister,’ and she just doesn’t seem to care.”

A House Full of Girls — and Estrogen

With another baby girl on the way, Tarlov laughed about the dynamic at home.
“Brian is a little bit concerned about the level of estrogen that is about to be in the household,” she quipped.

Despite the joking, it’s clear the couple is thrilled — and so are fans. Comments on social media were filled with love and well-wishes:

“If this new baby is as cute as Cleo, she will have a family of beauties!”
“Congratulations! Girls are the best.”
“I’m so happy for you and your growing family!”

Looking Ahead

Jessica Tarlov has become a staple on The Five since joining the panel full-time in 2022. Known for her calm demeanor and progressive takes among the more conservative voices on the show, she’s also won over audiences with her down-to-earth personality and humor.

Now, she’s gearing up for a new role off-camera — mom of two.

With baby girl No. 2 due in just a few weeks, it’s safe to say April is going to be a big month for the Tarlov-McKenna household.

Congratulations to Jessica and Brian on their growing family!
