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.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos's net worth decoded after lavish wedding to Jeff Bezos in Venice
It was quite the spectacle – but of course, we wouldn't expect anything less from a wedding featuring one of the richest people in the world. The glitterati, super wealthy and power players all descended on Venice for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's (now Sánchez Bezos) wedding, with the controversial three-day extravaganza on the receiving end of criticism from locals and activists calling out 'over-tourism' in an increasingly delicate ecosystem and accusations levelled at Amazon over the amount (or lack) of corporation tax the company pays. Despite the naysayers and critics (who also were scathing about the sheer level of wealth needed to effectively hire a city at your disposal), Bezos and Sánchez married in an 'intimate' ceremony with just 200 guests at the San Giorgio Maggiore Basilica church on one of Venice's nearby islands. The ceremony was just one of many events (with a pre-wedding foam party on a super yacht and a 'dolce notte' sleepover also parts of the nuptial extravaganza). But now the pair have officially tied the knot, it left us wondering what space-travelling, book-writing former news anchor Sanchez's net worth might be – both before and after her big day? After all, she had a successful career in her own right before meeting Bezos – so we dug a little deeper to find out more… A formidable power player in her own right, Sánchez, 55, has been an established journalist in California since the 1990s. As well as working as a news anchor (which saw her land a bit-part in 1999 cult classic Fight Club), Sánchez was the original host of FOX's popular dancing competition So You Think You Can Dance (she left after just one season to have her first child and went on to be replaced by Cat Deeley). Alongside her onscreen career, in 2016, Sánchez earned a pilot license, which then led to the formation of her production company, Black Ops Aviation – an endeavour which allows her to fly planes and helicopters for television programmes and films that may require one. She even served as a consultant on Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning 2017 film, Dunkirk. 'We came from nothing,' she told The Hollywood Reporter about the venture back in 2017. 'I used to sleep in the back of my grandmother's car when she would clean houses, and I've been fortunate enough to have a career. 'Working is part of my DNA. I enjoy it, and now I want to give back.' Her brother, Michael, however disputes this version of their upbringing and economic background, telling The Times 'Our parents were successful and wealthy,' and that their grandmother owned a restaurant and a race horse. In addition to this, Sánchez has also written her own children's book, based on her experience with school and dyslexia. The Fly Who Flew to Space is a story about a fly named Flynn, who struggles academically but somehow ends up in the cockpit of a rocket. Upon its release in 2024, it debuted at the top of the New York Times Bestsellers list, and likely contributed to her significant net worth (pop culture fans may also remember that Sánchez was one of the many celebrity passengers on the Blue Origin's New Shephard programme earlier this year). We also have to point towards Sánchez's first marriage; having wed Hollywood agent and founding partner of Endeavor talent agency Patrick Whitesell in 2005, the pair divorced in 2019 after she met Bezos. TMZ reports the pair had a prenup, with Whitesell thought to be worth $100 million (around £72 million) at the time. With these numerous avenues of income, multiple sources have suggested that Sánchez's net worth before the marriage to Bezos was around $30 million (£21 million) – not too shabby at all. While there has been no official word on whether the pair have decided to hash out a financial agreement before the lavish big day, with Bezos thought to be worth a staggering $237 billion (£194 billion), it's likely there would have been something put in place. Bezos famously did not have a prenup with his ex, philanthropist Mackenzie Scott. The pair, who were married for 25 years, got divorced in 2019 – with Scott receiving a 25% stake in Amazon (believed to translate into around $35 billion, or £29.9 million). Scott vowed to give away most of her wealth, and has since parted ways with She has given away more than $19 billion (£13.7 billion) in donations to charitable causes though her Yield Foundation. Naturally, there is no official number out there, but a ceremony this big and this grand is a multi-million dollar affair (after all, with Lady Gaga and Elton John reportedly performing, it was hardly going to be a cut-price do). Venice regional governor Luca Zaia originally estimated the cost between €20 million-€30 million, (£17 million to £25 million) in an article published by Reuters. After a last-minute venue change because of security concerns and risk of protests, this estimate later jumped to €40 million-€48 million (£34 million to £41 million).

Exclusive: Walmart dives into Summerween with early Halloween push
Walmart is diving into the rising Summerween trend — where Halloween meets the summer heat — with new "Summer Frights" sections in select stores, the retailer shared exclusively with Axios. Why it matters: Halloween fans aren't waiting for fall to shop for the holiday, which is big money for retailers. Last year's sales were projected to reach $11.6 billion, according to the National Retail Federation's annual holiday survey. The NRF has seen the percent of consumers shopping for Halloween before October increase from 32% in 2014 to 47% in 2024. The big picture: The world's largest retailer tells Axios that around 1,000 of its stores nationwide have added the early Halloween displays, which are quickly gaining a following on TikTok. The products range from $1 to $10. Walmart views Summerween as a chance to lean into popular trends"in fun and affordable ways," Marlena Bond, the company's vice president of seasonal, told Axios. Some products like the Summerween Velvet Plush Throw are already out of stock online in some designs. State of play: Halloween is one of the seasonal events most affected by tariffs, with shortages possible. The Halloween and Costume Association warned in April that tariffs are threatening to "wipe out Halloween and severely disrupt Christmas unless urgent action is taken." Michele Boylstein, the association's executive director, previously told Axios that members reported "a wave of order cancellations, and it's creating serious concern about whether shelves will be stocked in time for Halloween." Flashback: The Summerween concept originated with a 2012 episode of Disney Channel's "Gravity Falls," but has grown in recent years because of social media. What's next: Walmart told Axios that a new DIY pumpkin head figure will debut during its upcoming July Deals event, which is held July 8-11, with Walmart+ members getting early access. In the fall, the company says it will have textured terracotta and paper mâché pumpkins and the return of 5' and 7' skeletons. Zoom out: Walmart isn't alone with its early start. Michaels launched two of its five Halloween collections June 13 and has two planned for July.
