A Day to Remember: Peter Doocy’s Fourth Anniversary Welcomes a New Life
Some days etch themselves into memory; others carve deep into the heart. For Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy and his wife, Hillary Vaughn, April 16, 2025, was both—a quiet wedding anniversary transformed into a momentous chapter of parenthood and love.
What began as a celebration of four years of marriage swiftly became a testament to endurance and joy, as Hillary gave birth to their second child after a marathon 30-hour labor. “Thirty hours of labor on our anniversary—and out came George,” Peter shared with a smile in a People interview. “Thanks to our son for making sure I never forget the day—or Mom’s card.”
Weighing in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces, George Jack Doocy’s arrival breathed fresh energy into the household. Their toddler daughter, Bridget Blake, two years old and already embracing big sister duties, welcomed her baby brother with a sweet, impromptu rendition of “Happy Birthday.” The family’s journey into parenthood, first begun in February 2023, blossomed once again amid laughter, love, and the lively chaos of children.
Hillary joked about the nuances of being a “boy mom,” especially the challenges diaper duty entails, but the happiness in their home was unmistakable. “The house feels fuller now,” Peter reflected. “Bridget’s tugging on my sleeve, George’s cries fill the air, and Hillary’s radiant smile ties it all together. It’s the noise you never want to be without.” Steve Doocy, Peter’s father and a proud grandfather, called the role “the best promotion I’ve ever had.”
For the Doocys, George’s birth—forever linked to their anniversary—symbolizes not just a new life, but a deepening of their family bond. Hillary called the day “the hardest and most beautiful anniversary gift we could give each other,” while Peter chuckled, “Politics keeps me on my toes, but parenthood? It’s a whole other level. Tough, rewarding, and absolutely worth it.”
Conclusion:
April 16, 2025, is now etched as a day of profound joy and new beginnings for the Doocy family. What started as a simple anniversary celebration turned into an unforgettable milestone filled with love, laughter, and the wonderful chaos that defines family life.
Through challenges and triumphs, Peter and Hillary have learned once again that the greatest milestones come wrapped in resilience—and the purest joy.
