Fox News’ Peter Doocy is seen during the daily briefing at the White House on Wednesday, September 7, 2022.
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy and Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn announced on Thursday the birth of their first child, according to People magazine.
Doocy and Vaughn, who have been married since 2021, confirmed to People magazine that their daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, was born on Feb. 1. Vaughn, who joined Fox News in 2016, said being a mom is “the best assignment” she’s ever had.
“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,” Vaughn told People magazine.
Vaughn said her water broke when she was on her way to work at Capitol Hill, which she was “prepared” for. She said she knew where to find senators who used to be doctors, and that Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), who was a doctor in Wyoming, told her to reach out if she needs anything.
Doocy said that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre joked with him about what he should name his baby last month, joking that he could name her “Karine.”

Doocy revealed how he asked President Joe Biden for parenting tips, to which the nation’s leader responded: “Hold her tight.”
“Meet Bridget Blake Doocy! Asked @JoeBiden for tips about being a new dad, at the WH holiday reception. His advice: “hold her tight.” Will do!” the new dad said on Twitter.
Little Bridget was born in northern Virginia, weighing eight pounds, one ounce.
“This food is particularly good if you are really hungry, and Hillary is hungry all of the time,” Steve said.
“That’s because I’m eating for two,” Vaughn said before she and her husband announced they were having a baby.
Steve congratulated his son and daughter-in-law, telling People, “When I wrote a book on fatherhood, I highlighted a famous quote that, ‘There are three stages of a man’s life: he believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus.’ Peter, congratulations, you just made it to fatherhood’s third round.”
Doocy and Vaughn tied the knot in a small ceremony in South Carolina in 2021.
