New York, NY – June 11, 2025, 04:06 AM ET – In a stunning announcement that has left fans and colleagues reeling, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy has expanded her family once more, adopting a tenth child, marking an unexpected turn in her already remarkable journey as a mother. The 53-year-old Fox & Friends Weekend co-host and her husband, former Congressman Sean Duffy, revealed the adoption of a 3-year-old girl named Sofia Rose on June 10 via a heartfelt Instagram post, sending shockwaves through social media and the conservative community.
Campos-Duffy, known for her outspoken pro-family stance and raising nine biological children—Evita, Xavier, Patrick, Valentina, Margarita, Maria-Victoria, Lucia-Belen, John-Paul, and Paloma—shared a photo of herself cradling Sofia, captioning it, “God’s plan continues to surprise us—welcome Sofia Rose, our tenth blessing!” The adoption, finalized last month after a private process, follows the couple’s history of embracing challenges, including daughter Valentina’s Down syndrome diagnosis. Sources close to the family suggest Sofia, born to a struggling single mother in Texas, was matched with the Duffys through a faith-based adoption agency, reflecting their commitment to life and family values.
The move has sparked a mix of awe and astonishment online, with posts found on social platforms praising the decision while questioning its feasibility. “Rachel adopting a tenth child is incredible—but how do they manage?” one fan wrote, while another added, “This is a shock, but it’s so them—pure love!” The announcement comes amid Campos-Duffy’s busy career and Duffy’s recent nomination as Trump’s transportation secretary, raising eyebrows about their capacity to expand further. Critics have speculated about the financial and logistical strain, though supporters argue it aligns with their long-held belief in welcoming every child as a gift.
The Duffys, who met on MTV’s Real World and married in 1999, have long championed large families, with Campos-Duffy previously calling her nine children a “team effort.” Sofia’s arrival, marked by a quiet ceremony attended by their other kids, adds a new chapter to their story. As the nation digests this shock move, the couple’s resolve to grow their family continues to inspire and divide, cementing their reputation as advocates for an unconventional family life.
