Former ‘View’ Co-Host Reveals Baby No. 3 in Unexpected Podcast Moment

Meghan McCain is expanding her family. The former co-host of “The View”, 40, revealed on June 23 that she and her husband Ben Domenech are expecting their third child—a boy, according to reports. McCain shared the news during an episode of her podcast “Citizen McCain” during an interview with Second Lady Usha Vance.

“I’m entering my second trimester. I’m pregnant with my third,” McCain announced. “I know this is a weird way to announce it. It’s a boy. I’m very nervous about having a boy, and I’m very nervous about having three children. Very.”

McCain and Domenech are already parents to two daughters, Liberty, 4, and Clover, 2. During the podcast episode, McCain asked Vance for advice on raising boys, admitting that she’s feeling anxious about the transition to three kids.

Vance responded supportively, sharing her own experience as a mother of three. She said she’s a “huge proponent” of having three children, adding that they become a tight-knit “pack.”

The conversation also touched on balancing public life with motherhood, offering a glimpse into McCain’s perspective on parenting while remaining in the public eye.

Fans React with Support and Encouragement

Following the announcement, McCain received an outpouring of support from fans, friends, and fellow parents across social media.

One commenter wrote, “Ahhhhh congratulations Meghan!!! Such exciting news!!!! 🎉🩵”

“So excited for your girls to have a baby brother and you to experience firsthand how sweet and strong little men can be. 😍” another added.

“❤️❤️❤️❤️ CONGRATULATIONS! And as a mom of three—2 girls, then a boy—I 100% agree with everything shared!”

Another supporter commented, “Megan! Congratulations ❤️ Having three was the best decision we ever made, even in today’s very uncertain world. I know your family will find a lot of joy in this transition!”

McCain co-hosted “The View” from 2017 to 2021. Known for her outspoken conservative views, she often played a pivotal role in shaping political discussions on the show. Her departure marked the end of a headline-grabbing chapter in the show’s history, but her presence contributed to “The View”’s legacy of bold and varied perspectives.

Meghan McCain on Motherhood and Mental Health

According to a 2024 Parents magazine article, McCain opened up about her early experiences with motherhood and the emotional toll it took after her first child was born.

She recalled the anxiety she felt when her daughter contracted COVID‑19, saying, “It was completely irrational, completely delusional thoughts … I thought if I took her for a walk, that someone would push the carriage over and steal her or hurt her.”

McCain also pushed back on idealized portrayals of motherhood, urging for more transparency and honesty. “It’s 2024. Let’s evolve in the way we talk about women and motherhood.”

She reminded fellow mothers that becoming a parent doesn’t mean losing one’s sense of self. “You’re not lobotomized … You’re still interested in everything you were interested in before you had a kid.”
