In a stunning and unexpected revelation that has tongues wagging across media circles, a close Fox News colleague has confirmed that Jesse Watters, co-host of The Five, has just welcomed his fifth child — but this time, through an unconventional method that’s raising eyebrows and sparking intense curiosity.
According to an off-air conversation leaked late Monday evening, Watters allegedly used a surrogacy arrangement to expand his growing family. The colleague, who asked to remain anonymous, described the experience as “deeply personal” and “incredibly meaningful” for the Fox News star and his wife, Emma DiGiovine.
“He wanted to share the joy without all the attention,” the insider noted. “But now that the baby has arrived safe and sound, he’s absolutely glowing. This child means the world to them.”
Though Watters has yet to comment publicly, viewers noted a visible shift in his demeanor on Tuesday’s live broadcast — beaming smiles, lighter banter, and even a subtle nod to “new beginnings” during his closing monologue.
Fans were quick to react on social media:
“A fifth child?! Jesse’s starting his own Fox family tree!” – @PatriotMom94
“Surrogacy? That’s actually kind of beautiful. Congrats to them!” – @RedWaveFaith
“Wait, WHAT?! I thought they were done at four!” – @GutfeldGroupie
This marks Watters’ second child with Emma, his former producer and current wife, and his fifth overall. The couple has been notably private in recent months, leading many to believe they were taking a break from parenting news. But sources say they had quietly been preparing for the baby’s arrival since late last year.
While details remain scarce — including the baby’s name and gender — insiders say Watters is planning a small private celebration this weekend with family and close friends. One even hinted there may be a surprise on-air announcement soon.
“Jesse has always believed in family first,” said a longtime friend. “Whether it’s on-screen or off, this moment proves that again.”
Stay tuned. With Watters, there’s always more than meets the eye.
