It wasn’t a glossy magazine cover or a polished social media post. Instead, it was during a heartfelt, unscripted conversation with Usha Vance that Meghan McCain quietly, almost awkwardly, dropped the news: she’s expecting another baby.

Fans were stunned — not just by the revelation itself, but by the way it happened. No build-up. No dramatic pause. Just a raw, human moment in the middle of a conversation about motherhood, politics, and purpose. “I guess this is how I’m announcing it,” McCain laughed, almost surprised at herself. And just like that, the internet lit up with reactions ranging from joy to curiosity over the very Meghan-esque reveal.

Meghan McCain revealed in an unexpected way that she’s expanding her family.

While interviewing second lady Usha Vance for her podcast “Citizen McCain,” the 40-year-old revealed that she and her husband, Ben Domenech, are expecting baby No. 3.

“I hope you don’t mind. I wanted to let you in on something that’s private that I haven’t talked about publicly yet,” McCain told Vance in a clip from the upcoming interview. “I have two little girls. They are almost 5 and almost 3. And I just am entering my second trimester, I’m pregnant with my third.”

Noting that it was a “weird way to announce” the big news, considering she had “just met” Vance “20 minutes” before their interview, McCain continued, “I’m very nervous about … it’s a boy. I’m very nervous about having a boy. And I’m very nervous about having three children. Very.”

McCain welcomed daughters Liberty Sage and Clover Jade with Domenech in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

The former “The View” host previously opened up about how becoming a mom was a learning curve for her.

“I had never even diapered a child before. I had to be taught by the nurses in the hospital,” McCain told Parents magazine last year. “And I was really bad at it for a long time.”
