Meghan McCain Expecting Third Child: First Son on the Way
So, Meghan McCain is about to balance out her brood with a little brother for Liberty and Clover. She casually dropped the news during a preview of her 2Way’s Citizen McCain podcast on June 23, letting listeners know she’s officially in her second trimester. The former View co-host, daughter of the late Senator John McCain, already has two daughters—Liberty Sage, almost 5, and Clover Jade, turning 3—and is gearing up for her first baby boy with husband Ben Domenech.
In that sneak peek clip, Meghan leaned in with, “I have two little girls. They are almost 5 and almost 3. And I just am entering my second trimester, I’m pregnant with my third.” She admitted she’s “very nervous about having a boy” and “very nervous about having three children. Very.” Toss in the fact that the couple’s first two are girls, and this next chapter feels like uncharted territory.
Enter Usha Vance—Second Lady and mom of three (Ewan, 7; Vivek, 4; and Mirabel, 2)—who popped up as Meghan’s podcast guest. Having weathered the jump from two to three kids herself, Usha assured Meghan the shift is “shockingly the easiest of all.” She painted a picture of a sibling trio operating like a tiny pack: the oldest watching out for the younger ones, the youngest trying hard to keep pace, and everyone learning the art of compromise in real time. It’s all about making teamwork look effortless, Usha shared, while giving concrete family dynamics to back it up.
This isn’t Meghan’s first time unpacking the highs and lows of motherhood either. Earlier in 2024, she got candid with Parents magazine about postpartum struggles, pushing back against the “full hair and makeup” birthing narratives you see on social media. She’s been upfront about how unrealistic perfection feels unhealthy—and how honest conversations can actually help other moms feel less alone.
Between the podcast reveal and her track record for transparency, Meghan McCain is once again reminding us that even political kids need real talk when it comes to family life. As she and Ben Domenech prepare for their first son, we’ll be watching how the McCain-Domenech household adapts to a new kind of chaos.
Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
