Kayleigh McEnany Welcomes Baby No. 3, Shares First Photos and Meaning Behind Her Daughter’s Name

Former White House press secretary and current Outnumbered co-host Kayleigh McEnany has officially expanded her family, welcoming her third child with husband Sean Gilmartin. The couple announced the arrival of their daughter, Avery Grace, on social media this week, celebrating what McEnany described as a “beautiful time in life.”

“Avery Grace has arrived!” McEnany shared via Instagram, alongside a carousel of tender photos featuring her husband and their three children. “Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life.”

Avery is the third child for McEnany and Gilmartin, a former pitcher for the New York Mets. The couple already shares two children: 5-year-old Blake, and 2-year-old Nash. Avery’s birth marks the latest chapter in a relationship that began with a Twitter direct message and has blossomed into a storybook family life shared with millions of Fox News viewers.

Faith and Family in the Spotlight

In signature fashion, McEnany paired her baby announcement with a passage from Scripture—Psalm 139:13-14: “For you created my inmost being… I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” The verse, a clear nod to McEnany’s longstanding public faith, echoed the spiritual themes that have been part of her pregnancy journey since she first announced the news in March.

“This has been a special time for the whole family,” she said at the time, emphasizing the deep meaning behind the experience of bringing new life into the world.

McEnany’s Outnumbered co-host Emily Compagno shared the joyful update with viewers during Monday’s episode, calling Avery “the newest member of the Outnumbered family.” Fox News then aired a montage of home videos showing Kayleigh and Sean cradling their newborn, with soft music underscoring the deeply personal moment.

From Big-Sister Giggles to Middle-Child Milestones

It’s not just the parents celebrating. According to McEnany, daughter Blake, now 5, has been visibly thrilled about her new sibling—often running up to kiss her mother’s belly during the pregnancy. Viewers may remember the viral moment in June when Blake squealed with delight during an on-air gender reveal, nearly stealing the spotlight with her pure, unscripted excitement.

Now, little Nash—previously the baby of the house—steps into the role of big brother. “Cupcake crumbs and all,” McEnany joked, noting that the toddler is adjusting to his new place in the sibling hierarchy with sweetness and curiosity.

A Social Media Love Story Turned Real-Life Legacy

McEnany and Gilmartin’s love story reads like a modern-day fairytale with a tech twist. As she recounts in her memoir For Such a Time as This, it all started in 2015 when she—then a Harvard Law student—direct-messaged Gilmartin on Twitter (now X).

Two years later, they tied the knot in a sun-soaked Florida wedding, blending baseball caps and Bible verses in a ceremony that underscored their unique balance of tradition and modernity. Their first child, Blake, arrived in 2019, followed by Nash in 2022.

Now, with Avery’s birth, the McEnany-Gilmartin clan forms a family of five—“an even match for Fox’s Outnumbered title,” McEnany quipped, referencing the network’s popular midday program where she frequently references her home life with humor and heart.

Anchored in Faith, Framed by Joy

Throughout her career—from the White House briefing room to the Fox News studio—McEnany has placed her faith and family front and center. The arrival of Avery Grace serves not only as a personal milestone, but also as a public moment that mirrors the values she often champions: faith, motherhood, and gratitude.

While McEnany has not yet shared further details about Avery’s birth or whether she plans a temporary leave from Outnumbered, her recent social media activity suggests she’s savoring every moment of this new chapter.

With three children now in tow and a national audience watching her family grow, Kayleigh McEnany continues to blend public service, broadcasting, and motherhood in a uniquely high-profile balancing act—always with a Bible verse and a camera-ready smile close at hand.

For now, Avery Grace is settling in at home, wrapped in pink and welcomed with open arms—by her siblings, her parents, and a wide community of supporters who have followed her family’s journey from Washington to the Fox News set and beyond.
