Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany welcomes a baby daughter
Kayleigh McEnany and husband Sean Gilmartin welcomed their third child β a girl.
βWe are overjoyed to announce the newest member of the βOutnumberedβ family,β Emily Compagno said Monday during the Fox News Channel show she co-hosts with McEnany. She noted that viewers could see the baby βletting out a big yawnβ in photos provided by her mom and dad.
Avery was born on Wednesday, the network said.
McEnany tweeted Monday that she and her husband are βso in love with our new baby girl, Avery Grace! Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life!β
McEnany was a tad more nuanced in notes given to Compagno, who quoted the three-time mom as saying that while big sister Blake, 5, βcanβt stop thinking about the baby,β big brother Nash, 2, had βfinally warmed up to her.β
In her announcement, the former White House press secretary included Psalm 139: 13-14, βFor you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my motherβs womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.β
Compagno said the βOutnumberedβ crew, headed by Harris Faulkner, was βwishing Kayleigh and Sean all the best as they continue to grow their beautiful family.β She told McEnany to please come back, but βnot too soon.β
McEnany announced back in March that she and Gilmartin were expecting their third child.
βItβs very sweet. Itβs been a special time,β she said. βIβve been pregnant during Christmas and during Thanksgiving, and my daughter Blake now knows, so she runs up and holds my stomach and is like, βLet me kiss the baby.β β
The baby got in just under the June deadline that McEnany shared at the time.
McEnany and Gilmartin, a pitcher who retired from professional baseball in 2022, started dating in 2015 and got married in 2017. After working in broadcast media initially, McEnany served as press secretary to President Trump from April 2020 through the end of his first term in January 2021, landing at Fox soon after.
Sheβs one of a host of former press secretaries who have landed jobs on cable and broadcast news.
