Fox News fans were treated to heartwarming news this week as “FOX & Friends First” co-host Carley Shimkus shared a personal milestone live on air: she’s expecting her second child.

During Friday’s broadcast, Shimkus beamed with excitement as she confirmed that she and husband Peter Buchignani, along with their young son Brock, are preparing to welcome another little one later this year.

“I’m having another baby,” Shimkus announced, her joy palpable.

A Growing Family

Currently 22 weeks along, Shimkus revealed she is expecting another boy, due at the end of July. Brock, who was born in January 2023, is about to step into the role of big brother, and Shimkus shared her hopes for a lifelong bond between her sons:

“I pray that they’re going to be the best of friends throughout their whole entire life,” she said, radiating optimism.

Though she briefly imagined having a daughter, Shimkus said the moment she learned the gender of her second child, she felt a divine certainty:

“I just knew I was having another boy… I knew this baby is just such a blessing from God.”

On-Air Reactions & Potential Moves

Shimkus’ co-hosts flooded her with congratulations, celebrating the exciting news. The conversation naturally turned to future plans, including the possibility of relocating from New York City. Co-host Brian Kilmeade playfully suggested Long Island, prompting Shimkus to joke about becoming neighbors, complete with the convenience of nearby childcare support.

“Maybe we’ll be neighbors,” she laughed, hinting at potential new beginnings.

Sharing the Excitement Beyond the Studio

After the broadcast, Shimkus shared the announcement on social media with a heartwarming family photo. Her husband and son posed with a cake adorned in blue icing, symbolizing the gender of the upcoming addition. She captioned the post to reflect her excitement and preparation for Brock’s new role as big brother.

Shimkus and Buchignani, who started dating in 2013 and married in 2015, have always expressed their devotion to family life. Their first child brought immeasurable joy, and now the couple eagerly anticipates this next chapter.

“Family has always been our greatest blessing,” Shimkus shared, her smile lighting up the screen.
