Carley Shimkus has shared the first photographs of her newborn son, Harrison Stone, offering followers a beautiful glimpse into her family’s first week with its newest member.
The Fox & Friends First co-host rarely shares personal updates on social media, making the collection particularly special for viewers who had been waiting to see the baby following the announcement of his arrival.
“Week 1 with Harrison Stone 💙 Welcome home baby boy! I can’t stop staring at you 💙,” Shimkus wrote alongside the photographs.
The heartwarming post quickly attracted more than 40,000 likes as Fox News colleagues and viewers joined Carley and her husband, Peter Buchignani, in celebrating their growing family.
Carley introduces Harrison Stone
The collection included several precious photographs taken during Harrison’s first days.
One image showed Shimkus lying in her hospital bed and holding her newborn son close to her chest while Buchignani smiled beside them. Another offered a closer look at Harrison peacefully resting shortly after his birth.
Shimkus also shared a beautiful individual portrait of the newborn, giving followers their clearest look yet at the newest member of her family.
Ainsley Earhardt appeared in another photograph taken during her visit to the hospital. The Fox & Friends co-host smiled beside the proud parents as Shimkus held Harrison in her arms.
Earhardt had previously spoken about the visit on television, telling viewers that Shimkus looked “amazing.” She also shared her opinion that Harrison resembles his father, while older brother Brock takes after his mother.
The hospital photographs captured the happiness surrounding Harrison’s arrival while showing the support Shimkus received from those closest to her.
A joyful first look at the family of four
Among the most touching photographs was a relaxed family moment from Harrison’s first week at home.
Shimkus could be seen feeding her newborn while Brock sat beside her with a huge smile on his face. The image offered a joyful look at the older brother adjusting to the arrival of the baby his family had been eagerly awaiting.
Before giving birth, Shimkus reflected on the memories she, Buchignani and Brock had created as a family of three.
“As we are getting ready to welcome a new baby, I am reflecting on so many happy memories as a family of three with my very funny, high energy boy,” she wrote at the time. “I can’t wait to meet the little one who will grow our hearts even more!”
Her latest photographs showed that long-awaited moment finally becoming a reality.
With Harrison now at home, Carley and Peter have officially begun their new chapter as parents of two young sons.
Fox News personalities fill the comments with love
Shimkus’ rare family update prompted an outpouring of affectionate messages from her Fox News friends.
Emily Compagno, Peter Doocy, Sandra Smith, Abby Hornacek, Aishah Hasnie, Alexis McAdams, Janice Dean, Caroline Downey and Emma Watters were among those who reacted to the beautiful post.
Lisa Boothe left one of the most heartfelt messages beneath the photographs.
“This post made me so happy!” she wrote. “The most beautiful mommy on the inside and out. So happy for your growing family! So much love in these photos.”
The official Fox & Friends account also joined the celebration, while Shimkus’ followers filled the comments with congratulations and warm wishes for Harrison, Brock and their parents.
The reaction reflected how excited Carley’s colleagues and viewers were to receive a personal look at the family after Harrison’s birth was initially announced on television.
A new chapter for the Shimkus-Buchignani family
Shimkus first announced her second pregnancy during a March broadcast, revealing that she and Buchignani were expecting another boy.
“My husband and I and Brock, my son, who’s now three, are so excited,” she said.
The Fox News host described the pregnancy as “such a blessing from God” and shared her hope that Brock and his younger brother would remain close throughout their lives.
Shimkus and Buchignani began dating in 2013 and married in New Jersey in 2015. They welcomed Brock in January 2023, writing at the time that he had unlocked a place in their hearts they did not know existed.
Three years later, Harrison’s arrival has brought another beautiful change to their family.
From the tender hospital photographs to the joyful moment between the two brothers at home, Carley’s first update captured the love surrounding Harrison during his first week.
Her colleagues initially shared the happy news with Fox News viewers, but Shimkus’ photographs offered something even more personal: a proud mother’s first look at the baby she said she simply cannot stop staring at.
