Television personality and former co-host of The View, Meghan McCain, along with her husband, author Ben Domenech, have announced the arrival of their third child. The couple welcomed a baby boy, expanding their young family to five members.
A New Arrival for the McCain-Domenech Family
The newborn, named Ransom McCain Domenech, was born on January 2. He entered the world in the early morning, weighing a healthy 9 pounds and 2 ounces. The 41-year-old McCain and her 44-year-old husband shared the happy news on social media and through a statement to People magazine.
"We are absolutely over the moon to share that our son Ransom McCain Domenech has finally arrived," McCain wrote on her Instagram. She expressed that everyone in the family is "happy, healthy and exhausted" following the birth. The new baby boy joins his two older sisters, Liberty, aged five, and Clover, aged two.
Daughters Thrilled, Parents Grateful
In her heartfelt post, McCain extended gratitude to the medical staff who assisted with the delivery, thanking them for taking "such wonderful care of all of us." She also highlighted the excitement of her two daughters, noting that "Liberty and Clover couldn't be more excited to have a baby brother." The family announcement concluded with a joyful declaration: "Our family is officially a party of 5."
McCain had first revealed her pregnancy in June 2024 during an episode of her Citizen McCain podcast. At the time, she admitted to feeling nervous about the new addition, specifically about having a boy and managing life with three children. "I'm very nervous about having a boy. And I'm very nervous about having three children. Very," she had confessed, as reported by E! News.
Motherhood: A Humbling Transformation
This new chapter in motherhood continues a transformative journey for McCain. In a January 2024 interview with People, she spoke candidly about how becoming a parent reshaped her perspective. She described motherhood as a daily "exercise in patience and humility," emphasizing that "nothing is about you anymore."
Her routine, she explained, is entirely dedicated to her children's care—from morning until night. "It's about taking care of them, feeding them, giving them baths, putting them down--books, prayers, all those things," McCain said. She reflected that this experience humbles a person "in the best way possible" and fundamentally changes one's outlook on the world.
The birth of Ransom McCain Domenech marks a significant and joyous moment for the family, celebrated by fans and well-wishers across social media platforms.
