CNN anchor Abby Phillip is pregnant with her and husband Marcus Richardson’s second baby.
The popular news anchor announced her pregnancy late last month. Phillip also confirmed that the baby-to-be is a boy, who is expected to be born in October.
The boy Richardson already has an older sister, 4-year-old Naomi.
Abby, 37, told People: “We are very excited to be expanding our family! Naomi is already preparing to be an excellent big sister to the little boy who will be joining us later this year.”
Phillip and Richardson’s second child was conceived via IVF, something Phillip shared in an Instagram post announcing that they would soon be a family of four.
She said in part, “Our journey to a second child looked a little different than our first. Like so many families, we were able to conceive through IVF. In this moment, I am both thankful that we were successful in God’s perfect timing, and I also have hope in my heart for all the families who are still waiting on their journey.”
Philip came along CNN in 2017 and served as co-moderator for the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. She is a prominent reporter on the political landscape and currently hosts an hour-long show weekdays at 10:00 PM ET, CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip.
