Fox News star and former Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has welcome her third child.

During her Fox News show, Outnumbered, it was revealed that Kayleigh McEnany and her husband Sean Gilmartin had recently become parents to a baby girl named Avery Grace.

The couple already have two children – daughter Blake, five, and son Nash, two. 

Kayleigh McEnany, who was the White House Press Secretary from April 2020 to January 2021, had shared the news of her pregnancy live on Outnumbered back in March.

But now, her little bundle of joy is here, as co-host Emily Compagno shared this morning.

Compagno, one of the show’s hosts, excitedly announced, ‘We are thrilled to welcome the newest addition to the Outnumbered family. Kayleigh and Sean are now proud parents of their third child, daughter Avery Grace!’

The announcement was accompanied by a series of first-look photos shared by McEnany and her family.

One photo showed the adorable Avery Grace in a light pink onesie and pink headband with a huge flower on it, while the second showed McEnany and her husband proudly holding the newborn, as the mom matched her daughter in a pair of silky pink pajamas.

The final snap the couple shared was of her husband holding the tiny newborn, as she let out a big yawn in front of his face.

McEnany also gave viewers a personal update, as Compagno read out that her oldest, Blake, couldn’t stop thinking about the baby, while Nash ‘finally warmed up to her.’

The former press secretary also shared that she and her husband had Psalm 139: 13-14 on their minds as they welcomed Avery Grace.

She even included the Psalm in her Instagram caption Monday, as she had reposted a clip of the announcement Monday. 

‘@Girlmartin_sean36 and I are so in love with our new baby girl, Avery Grace!’ McEnany wrote in the caption. 

‘Blake and Nash love their baby sister, and we are enjoying this beautiful time in life!’ she continued, before including the bible verse. 

‘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.’

She also thanked her fellow co-hosts, Compagno and Harris Faulkner for what she called the ‘beautiful’ announcement.

In the comments section of her Instagram post, many of her followers flooded to the comments to share their congratulations, including Fox News anchor Johnny Belisario.

‘Avery is adorable! Congratulations, Kayleigh!’ Belisario wrote.

Another Instagram user commented, ‘Welcome Avery Grace! Such a beautiful name and such a contentious time. She will be strong and live in grace. Missing you, but I know you are enjoying motherhood.’

‘This is nothing but pure sweetness. Lovely announcement for a beautiful miracle,’ another penned.

When McEnany made her initial pregnancy announcement on TV this past March, she shared a photo of her ultrasound scan and said that she’d been enjoying a ‘very special time’ with her family.  

She finished her announcement with two Bible quotes and joked: ‘With all that said, can I unbutton my jacket now?

‘It’s very tight. I’m busting outta here.’

‘My first pregnancy happened rather quickly, and we felt blessed that God had given us a beautiful daughter with relative ease. The second time around was different,’ Kayleigh wrote in an extract shared exclusively with DailyMail.com at the time from her book, Serenity in the Storm: Living Through Chaos by Leaning on Christ.

‘Several months passed, and negative pregnancy tests were ample. As spring of 2022 approached, part of me began to worry. Why wasn’t I getting pregnant? I attempted to overcome worry by leaning on faith.’

After reading Mark Batterson’s Draw The Circle: The 40 Day Prayer Challenge, given to her by a friend, Kayleigh said she started to ‘pray with expectation,’ but it did not come easily to her.

‘We have a tendency to expect immediate results. That is a natural human inclination, one that I certainly fall into myself,’ she said.

‘As I tried to pray with expectation, Satan did his best to infiltrate with worry, doubt, and frustration.’

Her frustration came to a head on a Saturday in March when she was about to deliver a speech at the Extraordinary Women Conference 2022 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Kayleigh said she had been ‘overcome with worry’ about not being able to get pregnant, while it seemed she was surrounded by friends who were announcing they were expecting.

But that frustration shifted at the Christian conference as she listened to gospel singer Mandisa, prayers and the music ‘ringing through the building,’ she said, and she refocused her attention on God.

The Trump-era press secretary also spoke of the support of family, friends and people she had just met who were willing to help her through her time of struggle, including a moment with Kathy Sparks Lesnoff, who is the CEO of Mosaic Pregnancy and Health Centers – a group that offers pregnancy resources to women in need.

She was a speaker at one of the organization’s events in Collinsville, Illinois, about two weeks after she was in Tulsa.

‘I opened up about my desire to have a second child with Kathy and her family, and without hesitation, Kathy asked if she could pray over me. I agreed, and right there at our dinner table, Kathy and I bowed our heads while she said a heartfelt prayer for God to bless me with a child,’ Kayleigh said.

‘”The last time I said a prayer like this, God blessed the young woman with twins!” she shared with me at the conclusion of our prayer. I smiled from ear to ear at the thought!’

When she returned home, Kayleigh and her husband, 32, also prayed together for a child, and, ‘unbeknownst’ to her, her dad’s Bible study was also doing the same.

And then three days later, Kayleigh said she ‘felt the urge’ to take a pregnancy test.

As it turned out, she was expecting. 

‘For Sean and me, our worries about getting pregnant lasted only a few months. Moreover, they came after we had been blessed with our first child,’ she wrote. 

‘For millions of women, struggles with pregnancy occur for far longer than a few months, and for some, pregnancy is simply not possible, even though they pray with hopeful expectation and faith, as Sean and I did.

‘My heart breaks for these women, and I imagine the struggle can be incomprehensible.’
