âWelcome to the world sweet Brock,â the Fox News host wrote. âYou have unlocked a place in our hearts we didnât even know we had. Your dad and I love you so much!â

âBoth mother and Baby are happy and healthy and doing great,â co-host Steve Doocy said.
Ainsley Earhardt gushed: âCarley, we are so excited for you, and so are our viewers! ⊠Welcome to this world, sweet Brock. Youâre a patriot and youâre part of the Fox Family.â
Todd Piro, Shimkusâ co-host on âFox & Friends First,â congratulated her and her husband on Twitter.
Shimkus joined the company in 2009 as a production assistant on Fox Business Network, according to her profile on FoxNews.com. She was later promoted to associate producer.
The 36-year-old and her husband were married in 2015.
Shimkus isnât the only Fox News star who has been expanding her Family.
In December, Fox News âOutnumberedâ co-host Kayleigh McEnany gave birth to her second child with husband Sean Gilmartin, a former MLB pitcher.
McEnany, who was White House press secretary to former Donald Trump, returned to work on Tuesday after taking maternity leave.
Amid all the instability in the world today, itâs reassuring to celebrate the birth of a Baby and remember whatâs truly important in life.
Fox News differs from its cable news rivals in promoting a warm, Family-oriented environment to which its audience can relate. This is one of the secrets to the monster ratings it has garnered since its 1996 debut.
Meanwhile, rival CNN continues to struggle. On Friday, its No. 1 program â âAnderson Cooper 360â â couldnât even crack a million viewers at the 8 p.m. hour.
By comparison, Fox Newsâ âThe Fiveâ scored a whopping 3.4 million viewers even though it doesnât even air during prime time.
Apparently, most cable news viewers embrace the patriotism and Family values displayed and championed on Fox News.
