This spring gave Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy an unforgettable milestone. On April 16, 2025—his and wife Hillary Vaughn’s fourth wedding anniversary—the couple welcomed their second child, a son named George Jack Doocy, after a grueling 30-hour labor. “Thirty hours in labor, on our anniversary, and out came George,” Doocy told People. “Thank you, son, for making sure I never forget your mom’s card.” The timing, coinciding with their wedding anniversary, made the day especially meaningful.

George weighed 7 lbs., 6 oz., and instantly transformed the Doocy household. Their two-year-old daughter, Bridget Blake, proudly embraced her role as big sister, spontaneously singing “Happy Birthday” to her newborn brother. The couple’s first child, born in February 2023, had already given Peter a glimpse of the joys of parenthood, especially seeing his parents, Steve and Kathy Doocy, meet their granddaughter. Parenthood comes with chaos and humbling moments.

Vaughn joked about the challenges of being a “boy mom,” particularly during diaper changes. Yet the joy is undeniable. “The house feels so much fuller,” Doocy said. “Bridget’s tugging on my sleeve, George is crying, Hillary’s smiling—it’s the kind of noise you never want to live without.” Steve Doocy, now a grandfather twice over, described the role as “the best promotion I’ve ever had.”

For Peter and Hillary, George’s arrival—forever linked to their anniversary—has become a symbol of love, resilience, and perfect timing. Reflecting on the long labor, Vaughn called it “the hardest and best anniversary gift we could have ever given each other.” Peter sums it up with a grin: “Covering politics keeps me on my toes. But honestly? Parenthood is tougher—and so much better.”
