CNN's Abby Phillip Announces Second Pregnancy

CNN anchor Abby Phillip is expecting her second child with husband Marcus Richardson.

The 37-year-old host of NewsNight with Abby Phillip shared the pregnancy announcement through a statement to People magazine.

"We are overjoyed to be expanding our family!" Phillip said. "Naomi is already preparing to be an excellent big sister to the little boy who will join us later this year."

The couple's first child, daughter Naomi, is 4 years old. Phillip is due to give birth in October.

For their second pregnancy, the couple turned to assisted reproduction. "Our journey to a second child looked a little different from our first. Like so many families, we were able to conceive with the help of IVF," Phillip explained. "In this moment, I'm both grateful that we were successful in God's perfect timing and I'm also holding hope in my heart for all the families who are still waiting in their journey."

She reflected on the experience of undergoing the fertility treatment process. "The process was challenging to manage, both emotionally and physically, but I'm thrilled to say we arrived at a beautiful place," she added.
