The Fox News correspondents welcomed their second child, son George Jack Doocy, on Wednesday, April 16, in Washington D.C., and announced the exciting news with PEOPLE.
Vaughn, 35, explains she was on Capitol Hill, reporting on the IRS for Tax Day, when she headed to her routine OB appointment. While there, she was told George “was ready to come out.”
“Maybe he was tired of hearing me talk about taxes – I don’t blame him!” the Fox Business news correspondent says.
