Fox News host Kat Timpf has announced that she and her husband, Cameron Friscia, are expecting their first child.
During a segment on Fox News, Timpf opened up about the emotional journey of processing the life-changing news.
She described it as a surprising yet gradual realization, highlighting the deep effect it has had on both her and her husband’s lives.
Kat Timpf has opened up about the surprise of her pregnancy, revealing that she was completely taken aback when she saw a positive test result on May 30.
At 35, she acknowledged that her pregnancy was classified as “geriatric” and confessed that she had never truly imagined finding herself in this position.
“I never thought I’d be in this situation,” Timpf shared, explaining that she had mentally prepared for every other outcome. She had initially believed she wouldn’t get pregnant, especially not naturally. Even after discovering the news, she feared the worst, worrying that a miscarriage was likely due to her age.
She also shared a memorable moment from June 27, the night of the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. On that day, she and her husband heard their baby’s heartbeat for the very first time.
“We heard the heartbeat for the first time, and then we heard it again,” she recalled, reflecting on the moment.

Though reaching this milestone, Timpf confessed that the news didn’t trigger a surge of overwhelming excitement. “It was never this huge, emotional wave of ‘OMG, WE’RE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!!!'” she shared.
She went on to explain that there was something else preventing her from feeling pure astonishment: “I was simply too exhausted,” she confessed.
Timpf also revealed a more profound sadness — one that cast a shadow over the moment.
Timpf shared her deep sadness over not being able to experience this life-changing moment with her mother, who passed away on November 5, 2014.
“I feel a strong sense of solidarity with all the women who have gone through this. But, if I’m being honest, there’s also a sadness about one woman in particular that I’ll never be able to share this experience with: my mom.”

“It’s felt harsh, sometimes confusing, and somewhat unjust to try and figure out how to be a mother when I can barely remember what it was like to have one,” she reflected.
A particularly emotional moment is approaching for Timpf—November 5, 2024, the tenth anniversary of her mother’s death, will also coincide with her sixth month of pregnancy. “What a world I’ll get to tell my child about. What a decade my mom missed,” she remarked.
