In an emotional moment on air, FOX & Friends First co-host Carley Shimkus shared some exciting news with her viewers—she is expecting her second child! The announcement came during a Friday morning broadcast, where Carley revealed that her growing family, including husband Peter Buchignani and their son Brock, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of their new addition later this year.
A Growing Family: Baby Boy on the Way 💙
At 22 weeks pregnant, Carley confirmed that she is expecting another baby boy, with a due date set for the end of July. Reflecting on her pregnancy experience, she shared that everything has been smooth so far, and she’s feeling great. “Baby number two is going to be due at the end of July,” she said, adding that her son Brock, born in January 2023, will soon take on the role of big brother.
Carley expressed her hopes for the two siblings, saying, “I pray that they’re going to be the best of friends throughout their whole entire life.” She also admitted to briefly imagining having a daughter, but once she learned the gender, she felt certain that another boy was on the way. “I just knew I was having another boy… I knew this baby is just such a blessing from God,” Carley said with a smile.
Co-Hosts’ Reaction and Possible Move 🏡
The announcement was met with enthusiastic congratulations from her co-hosts, who showered Carley with well wishes. As the conversation unfolded, the possibility of the Shimkus family relocating was also brought up. Co-host Brian Kilmeade referenced prior discussions about moving away from New York City, specifically to Long Island.
Carley acknowledged the idea, mentioning that a friend had recently sent her a property listing in Massapequa. She jokingly suggested that moving to Long Island could mean becoming neighbors with Kilmeade, which could come with the bonus of having help with childcare. “Maybe we’ll be neighbors,” she quipped during the segment.
Sharing the Joy with Fans 🎉
After the broadcast, Carley took to social media to share the big news with her followers. She posted a photo of herself, her husband Peter, and their son Brock holding a cake decorated with blue icing to reveal the baby’s gender. The family looked overjoyed as they prepared for the next chapter in their lives.
In her caption, Carley expressed the excitement of their growing family and the preparations underway for Brock’s new role as an older brother. “We’re ready for baby boy #2!” she wrote, further spreading the joy with her fans.
A Family Focused on Love and Gratitude 💖
Carley and Peter, who started their relationship in 2013 and married in 2015, have always shared their deep appreciation for family life. Their first child, Brock, has brought them immense joy, and now they are looking forward to welcoming their second baby with open hearts. As they continue to share their journey with fans, Carley and Peter’s love for their growing family is clear.
