Pregnancy Announcement

McCain had announced her pregnancy in June during an episode of her Citizen McCain podcast, where she admitted feeling nervous about expanding her family.

Reflections on Motherhood

The former View co-host has previously spoken about how motherhood has transformed her outlook on life, describing it as a humbling experience. In an interview with People in January 2024, McCain said, "Every single day is like an exercise in patience and humility because you know nothing is about you anymore."

"From the moment I wake up in the morning [to] the moment I go to sleep at night, it's making sure my girls are okay. It's about taking care of them, feeding them, giving them baths, putting them down--books, prayers, all those things," she added.

McCain further said, "You become really humbled in the best way possible and it certainly changes your outlook on the world," E! News reported.
