Fox News personalities Hillary Vaughn, 32, and Peter Doocy, 35, have embraced a new chapter in their lives with the arrival of their daughter, Bridget Blake Doocy, on February 1, 2023. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in South Carolina in April 2021, have been sharing their journey of love, marriage, and parenthood with their fans.
Their wedding, held during the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic, was an intimate affair with only 18 guests in attendance. Originally planned for January 2021, the couple adjusted their plans to ensure a safe and meaningful celebration. Peter’s father, Steve Doocy, co-host of Fox & Friends, served as the best man and delivered a heartfelt speech during the ceremony.
Steve, who has a family tradition of writing poems for special occasions, shared that reading his poem at Peter’s wedding brought back emotional memories of his son’s childhood. Reflecting on the day, he described it as “absolutely lovely,” with perfect weather and food.
Fox News viewers were treated to a glimpse of the couple’s special day through a montage of wedding photos. Peter looked dashing in a classic tuxedo, while Hillary radiated elegance in a flowing white gown. The heartwarming images captured moments like the couple cutting their multi-tiered wedding cake, symbolizing the start of their life together.
Just over a year later, in September 2022, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Baby Bridget was born in northern Virginia, weighing eight pounds and one ounce. Hillary, known for her work as a broadcaster with Fox Business Network, humorously compared motherhood to her career, saying, “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. ‘Baby Bridget – can you give us a comment? Are you hungry or gassy, or both?’ Trying to get an on-the-record answer is tough!”
Hillary also shared that her water broke while she was on her way to Capitol Hill, adding a touch of drama to the story. Just a week after Bridget’s birth, she called motherhood the “best assignment” she’s ever had. Meanwhile, Peter revealed that even White House staffers got involved in the excitement, suggesting baby name ideas in the days leading up to the birth.
As they navigate parenthood, Peter and Hillary continue to balance their high-profile careers with their growing family. Their journey—from a small, pandemic-era wedding to becoming first-time parents—has been filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments
