Benjamin Hall, the courageous Fox News journalist who survived severe injuries while covering the war in Ukraine, is celebrating a new chapter in his life as he and his wife, Alicia, welcome their fourth child, a baby girl named Sage Scarlett Jennifer Hall. Born on September 6, Sage weighed in at 5 lbs. 15 oz., bringing immense joy to the Hall family after a tumultuous few years.
Reflecting on his daughter’s meaningful name, Hall shared, “Someone sage is calm and wise—I hope our Sage will embody those qualities.” He also pointed out the historical significance of the name, as “sage” traditionally referred to a healer, making it even more special given the personal struggles he has faced in recent years.
A New Beginning and Family Bonding
As Hall and his family embrace this exciting new chapter, their three older daughters—Honor, Iris, and Hero—are eagerly taking on the role of babysitters, vying for their turn to hold their newborn sister. Hall couldn’t help but smile at the playful competition between his daughters, noting, “There’s already a battle over which one gets to hold her.” The family’s dog, Bosco, has also shown excitement, playfully tossing a ball as he anticipates future games with the newest addition to the family.
For Hall, the moment he held Sage for the first time was a reminder of the deep importance of family. “Nothing in the world is more important than family,” he emphasized, expressing his hopes of raising his daughter to be kind, considerate, inquisitive, and brave. Hall intends to instill in her the values of hard work and perseverance, hoping that Sage and her siblings will carry these qualities into their futures.
Sage as a Symbol of Resilience
The birth of Sage also holds a special place in Hall’s heart due to his life-changing experiences in Ukraine. Reflecting on the severe injuries he sustained in March 2022, Hall sees his newborn daughter as a symbol of resilience. “She is a reminder that nothing can hold you back,” he shared. “Even if you’re knocked down, you can rebuild—stronger and better than before.” Hall’s words underscore the strength and determination that has defined his journey since the attack, which tragically took the lives of his colleagues, Fox News cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski and Ukrainian journalist Oleksandra “Sasha” Kuvshynova.
Despite the hardships, Hall’s focus has now shifted to the joy and hope brought by his growing family. His story serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of family, resilience, and the importance of cherishing the moments that matter most.
As Hall continues to heal and rebuild his life, the birth of Sage Scarlett Jennifer marks a moment of renewed strength and optimism, reinforcing his belief that no matter the obstacles faced, love and perseverance can create a brighter future. The Hall family’s journey continues, with Sage as a shining symbol of their unwavering resilience and love for one another.
