Carley Shimkus’ Absence Sparks Fan Frenzy—Will She Return to Fox News after showing this?
Carley Shimkus has left Fox News viewers wondering about her future after sharing a heartwarming new photo of her son. Since stepping away from Fox & Friends First to focus on her newborn, fans have been eagerly asking the same question—when will she be back?
Life After Fox & Friends First
Shimkus, 36, has been a co-host on the early morning show since October 2021. However, in February, she and her husband, Peter Buchignani, welcomed their first child, Brock Edward. Since then, she has been on maternity leave, sharing glimpses of her new life as a mother.
Her latest Instagram post featured her baby boy at a workout session, strapped into a portable seat with the caption “Gym buddy.” While the image delighted fans, it also reignited the conversation about her absence from television.
Fans Beg for Her Return
Shimkus’ social media has been flooded with comments from viewers eager to see her back on screen.
“Are you coming back on FOX?” one fan asked.
Another commented, “Miss you in the AM!”
A third chimed in, “Can’t wait to see you back on Fox in the AM, although I know how hard it will be to not be with your little one!”
It’s clear that viewers miss her presence on the show and are eager for updates on her return.
A New Chapter in Motherhood
Shimkus has embraced motherhood with joy, calling the experience life-changing. When she announced Brock’s birth, she wrote, “Welcome to the world sweet Brock. You have unlocked a place in our hearts we didn’t even know we had. Your dad and I love you so much!”
Her Fox & Friends First co-hosts, Todd Piro and Ashley Strohmier, also celebrated the news live on air, calling the newborn “perfect.”
Despite her time away, Shimkus has kept fans engaged with glimpses of her personal life. From park outings to gym sessions, she’s making the most of these early moments with her son.
Will She Return to Fox News?
Fox News has not made any official announcements regarding Shimkus’ return. Given her deep connection with viewers, many expect her to make a comeback, though the timing remains uncertain.
As she continues to share her journey, one thing is clear—fans are eager to welcome her back whenever she’s ready. Until then, her Instagram updates will have to suffice for those missing her familiar presence on morning television.
