Fox News rocked by live TV blunder as Dana Perino accidentally spills co-host’s pregnancy during a very awkward segment—what she said, and how the mom-to-be reacted, has viewers rewatching the moment in disbelief.

In a moment that’s already being called one of the most uncomfortable—and oddly heartwarming—live TV blunders of the year, former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino accidentally revealed that one of her Fox News co-hosts is pregnant during a very awkward segment that left the entire panel momentarily speechless.

The moment unfolded during a casual discussion on The Five, when the hosts were joking about work-life balance, caffeine cravings, and morning fatigue. Then, without warning, Dana dropped a bombshell:

“Well, you’ve been craving pickles lately… must be the baby talking, huh?”

The room fell silent. The stunned co-host blinked—clearly caught off guard—and looked directly at Dana, who instantly realized her mistake.

“Wait—oh no. Was that not public yet?” Dana asked, visibly horrified.

A Live TV Blunder No One Expected

The segment quickly cut to commercial, but not before viewers caught the co-host’s awkward smile and what appeared to be a whispered “We haven’t told anyone yet!”

When the show returned, both Dana and the unnamed co-host tried to laugh it off, but the damage had already been done—and social media exploded with speculation, clips, and theories.

So… Who’s Pregnant?

Fox News has not yet confirmed the identity of the mom-to-be, but fans have narrowed it down to a few possibilities based on recent panel appearances and changes in on-air wardrobe. Some believe it may be Kayleigh McEnany, who has spoken openly about motherhood before, while others speculate Emily Compagno, known for being more private, could be the one expecting.

“It’s like a real-life mystery unfolding on live TV,” one fan wrote.
“Now I’m watching replays and zooming in on reactions!”

Dana’s Apology—and the Internet Reacts

Dana later took to social media with a light-hearted but sincere apology:

“Well… I guess I need to brush up on what’s on record and what’s not! My deepest apologies to my amazing co-host—your secret’s out, but it’s only because we’re all so happy for you.”

The post was met with laughter, forgiveness, and a flurry of congratulatory comments from fans who were now eager to celebrate the unexpected news.

“You just gave us the cutest live TV moment of the year,” one user replied.
“No harm done—just more reason to love you both!”

The Co-Host’s Reaction: “It Was Bound to Happen”

Later that evening, the pregnant co-host (whose identity still hasn’t been officially confirmed) made a cryptic Instagram post featuring a tiny pair of baby shoes and the caption:

“Well… I guess the baby made an early entrance. Thanks, Dana 😂”

Clearly, there are no hard feelings—just a memorable moment that turned a personal secret into a shared celebration.

What’s Next?

Fans are now anxiously waiting for an official announcement and possibly a fun gender reveal live on air. If anything, this unplanned moment reminded viewers that even seasoned TV pros can have slip-ups—and sometimes, those slip-ups are pure magic.

As for Dana?

“Next time, I’ll stick to talking about policy,” she joked.

But let’s be honest—this is the kind of moment viewers live for.
