Fox News continues to dominate cable news ratings with its popular daytime program Outnumbered. The show features a panel of articulate conservative voices discussing current events. Among its most recognizable faces is Donald Trump’s former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
McEnany has built a sterling reputation in conservative circles. Her career path includes political commentary on CNN before joining the Trump administration in 2020. Since 2021, she has become a fixture on Fox News programming. She regularly appears on shows, including The Five and Hannity.
The 36-year-old conservative commentator maintains a strong connection with viewers. She’s known for her articulate defense of traditional values and straightforward communication style.
On Monday’s broadcast, McEnany delivered unexpected personal news.
“Last but not least, I’ve been teasing a big announcement,” she began. “Sean and I are expecting our third child, which we’re so excited about.”
“It’s very sweet. It’s been a special time. I’ve been pregnant during Christmas and during Thanksgiving, and my daughter Blake now knows, so she runs up and holds my stomach and is like, ‘Let me kiss the baby,'” she continued.
The announcement came at the conclusion of Monday’s show. McEnany wore a bright pink blazer but clarified this wasn’t a hint about the baby’s gender.
“This coloring is not an indication of the gender,” she explained, noting her blue-and-pink pumps alongside a blue pacifier graphic on screen.

A Growing Conservative Family
McEnany and her husband, former New York Mets pitcher Sean Gilmartin, are already parents to daughter Blake, 5, and son Nash, 2. The couple began dating in 2015 and married in 2017, building a strong family foundation.
The baby is due in June. McEnany plans to share her pregnancy journey with viewers. She announced that a gender reveal will take place on a future Outnumbered episode.
McEnany’s fellow Fox News hosts responded with enthusiasm. Co-host Emily Compagno leaned toward McEnany and said, “We love you so much, congratulations to all now five of you. We’re so excited and thrilled.”
McEnany showed viewers a sonogram image of her unborn child. The couple reportedly displays all their children’s sonograms, framed on their mantle at home. Now that’s what I call celebrating life from its earliest moments!
McEnany’s announcement included references to her strong Christian faith. She quoted scripture during the broadcast, including Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”
The conservative commentator added personal meaning to the verse.
“It’s not just a message about my baby, it’s a message about all of you. That’s how much he loves us,” she told viewers.
This faith-centered approach reflects traditional conservative values. McEnany consistently incorporates her Christian beliefs into both her personal and professional life. Her public embrace of motherhood and family growth stands in contrast to more secular media personalities. When was the last time you saw a mainstream media figure proudly quoting scripture while announcing a pregnancy?
Nash’s first flight!
But lesson learned: “no markers!” 😈

Balancing Family and Career
McEnany represents a powerful example for conservative women. She balances a high-profile media career while prioritizing her growing family. This harmony of professional success and traditional motherhood resonates with many conservative viewers.
Since leaving the White House, McEnany has expanded her media presence. Beyond co-hosting Outnumbered, she regularly fills in on Fox & Friends and prime-time shows. Indeed, her voice remains influential in conservative circles.
McEnany’s career trajectory demonstrates that conservative women can succeed professionally while embracing traditional family roles. This counter-narrative challenges progressive claims that motherhood hinders women’s career advancement. Isn’t it interesting how the left claims to champion women while often dismissing the profound importance of motherhood?
The former press secretary has maintained her relationship with President Trump since returning to private life. Her insights on the administration continue to provide valuable perspective during her Fox News appearances.
Please join us in saying a prayer for the health of McEnany and that of her unborn child in the months to come!
