Kayleigh McEnany of Fox News has a new baby. Big sis is thrilled; big bro not so much
Kayleigh McEnany and husband Sean Gilmartin welcomed their third child — a girl. 'We are overjoyed to announce the newest member of the 'Outnumbered' family,' Emily Compagno said Monday during the Fox News Channel show she co-hosts with McEnany. She noted that viewers could see the baby 'letting out a big yawn' in photos provided by her mom and dad. Avery was born on Wednesday, the network said. McEnany tweeted Monday that she and her husband are 'so in love with our new baby girl, Avery Grace! Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life!' McEnany was a tad more nuanced in notes given to Compagno, who quoted the three-time mom as saying that while big sister Blake, 5, 'can't stop thinking about the baby,' big brother Nash, 2, had 'finally warmed up to her.' In her announcement, the former White House press secretary included Psalm 139: 13-14, 'For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.' Compagno said the 'Outnumbered' crew, headed by Harris Faulkner, was 'wishing Kayleigh and Sean all the best as they continue to grow their beautiful family.' She told McEnany to please come back, but 'not too soon.' McEnany announced back in March that she and Gilmartin were expecting their third child. 'It's very sweet. It's been a special time,' she said. '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.' ' The baby got in just under the June deadline that McEnany shared at the time. McEnany and Gilmartin, a pitcher who retired from professional baseball in 2022, started dating in 2015 and got married in 2017. After working in broadcast media initially, McEnany served as press secretary to President Trump from April 2020 through the end of his first term in January 2021, landing at Fox soon after. She's one of a host of former press secretaries who have landed jobs on cable and broadcast news.

'So Close To Getting It': Kayleigh McEnany Roasted Over Truly Ironic 'Fanaticism' Claim
Fox News personality Kayleigh McEnany on Wednesday made a claim about Iran that some critics found more than a little ironic ― so much so that they thought she might've been talking about President Donald Trump and his MAGA faithful. Asked about the growing conflict in the Middle East, McEnany predicted that Trump will 'take out Iran's nuclear program' and 'end the Iranian regime's pursuit of nuclear weapons forevermore.' McEnany, who served as Trump's press secretary during his previous term, said Iran's pursuit of those weapons is especially dangerous because of its ruler, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 'When you combine fanaticism, no care for self-preservation and radical religious beliefs with nuclear weapons, that is a danger,' she told the network's Jesse Watters. But critics said those same factors could apply equally to her former boss and his most devoted followers: She's so close to getting it. — Hemant Mehta (@hemantmehta) June 19, 2025 She just described the Trump admin slash heritage foundation slash project 2025. — Political Punk (@actingliketommy) June 19, 2025 No awareness or intelligence to realize that she just described the United States under Trump. — Lance Whitney (@lancewhit) June 19, 2025 Does irony just escape her? It's so bizarre watching them describe Trump while referring to someone else. I bet psychiatrists are having a field day. — Fookin Chookay 🎗️🇺🇸🦅🇳🇴🇮🇪🏳️🌈🌊🇺🇦🇮🇱 (@slayergoddess69) June 19, 2025 She is talking about Trump right? — bostonteaparty (@bostonteapartyd) June 19, 2025 — TayoMurph (@TayoMurph) June 19, 2025 Agreed. Which is why Trump's admin is a danger to us all. — Darren Haber (@darrenhabermft) June 19, 2025 So, trump? — Patrick (@Crimsonkiller21) June 19, 2025 Kayleigh: When you combine fanaticism, no care for self-preservation, and radical religious belief with nuclear weapons, that is a danger=> OMG! She's right! Kayleigh's right. Tell me I didn't just type that... :\ — Jeff Fleischmann ☮️ 🌊 (@Philosocrat) June 19, 2025 Congratulations @kayleighmcenany I never thought you'd see the light about Trump. 👏 — J Rance (@WillaRance) June 19, 2025

McEnany on Ocasio-Cortez leading Dems in 2028: ‘Watch out for her'
Fox News host and former top White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) is a Democrat to watch ahead of the 2028 race for president. 'I really think she has her eye on something bigger,' McEnany said Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News's 'America's Newsroom,' adding, 'I think she looks at running for president and taking the mantle from [Vermont Sen.] Bernie Sanders.' The commentator noted Ocasio-Cortez has 'the highest favorable of any Democrat who hasn't run for president.' 'But that's among Democrats. She repels the very voters that the party repelled in 2024, centrists, independents. So, you can win a primary, perhaps,' McEnany continued in comments first highlighted by Mediaite. 'That's still a big haul. But winning a general election is a much different thing.' 'But I would watch out for her. I mean, she's pulling in tens of thousands of people,' she added. The New York Democrat has drawn large crowds across the country with Sanders as the two rolled out a 'Fighting Oligarchy' speaking tour that has sparked speculation about her political future and fueled suggestions she may run for president. McEnany wasn't the first to raise speculation around the fiery Democrat, as former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and veteran pollster Nate Silver have also floated her name as a potential contender. Ocasio-Cortez is also a frequent target of scorn on the right, with Fox News personalities and conservative social media accounts making regular practice of mocking her press conferences and political positions.

Trump's former press secretary says he's ‘posturing' on tariffs
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, who's now a Fox News host, dismissed concerns about the implications of the new tariffs President Trump announced this week. 'I firmly believe that it's posturing,' McEnany said Thursday on 'Outnumbered.' 'This is the great dealmaker, the great negotiator. And he's someone who understands how to get to a good end result.' Trump on Wednesday announced major tariffs on dozens of nations around the world, accusing many of them of 'ripping off' American workers under previous trade agreements. Trump's announcement sent financial markets into a tailspin on Thursday and is sparking widespread concern about the impact the new tariffs will have on consumer goods and the cost of living in America. The president, McEnany argued, 'knows these other countries have something to lose and will be pushed to the negotiating table.' McEnany served as Trump's White House press secretary near the end of his first term and joined Fox as a host after leaving his administration. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
