Over the weekend, Meghan McCain joyfully shared the news that she has welcomed her third child, a healthy baby boy born on Friday.
The 41-year-old, daughter of the late John McCain, and her husband, Ben Domenech, who is a political commentator, are already parents to two daughters: Liberty, five, and Clover, two.
With the arrival of their first son, the couple has chosen a distinctive name for him, in keeping with the unique names of their daughters.
“We are thrilled to announce that our son, Ransom McCain Domenech, made his debut at dawn on January 2nd, weighing 9lbs 2 oz,” Meghan shared in an Instagram post unveiling the happy news.
“We’re absolutely overjoyed and everyone is doing well, albeit a bit tired. We owe a huge thanks to the amazing doctors and medical staff for their exceptional care,” she added.
“Liberty and Clover are beyond thrilled to welcome their baby brother. Our family feels incredibly blessed and we appreciate all the loving messages, prayers, and good wishes! Our family has officially grown to a party of five.”

‘We are absolutely over the moon to share that our son Ransom McCain Domenech has finally arrived at the crack of dawn January 2nd at 9lbs 2 oz,’ McCain wrote
Her joyful message was accompanied by an Instagram album that included a snap of McCain and Domenech in the hospital cooing over their newborn.
Dominich held the swaddled baby next to McCain as she lay in her hospital bed, affectionately nuzzling the newest addition to her family.
She also posted a snapshot of little Ransom snoozing peacefully, apparently still in the hospital, wrapped in a blanket and wearing a little cap.
McCain announced her latest pregnancy on her podcast in June while interviewing Usha Vance, who herself has three children with JD Vance.
‘I hope you don’t mind – I wanted to let you in on something that is private that I haven’t talked about publicly yet,’ McCain told her guest, whom she had met for the first time just 20 minutes before they started recording.
She disclosed that she was expecting her third baby and had reached her second trimester – and also divulged she and Domenech were expecting a boy.
‘I’m very nervous about having a boy, and I’m very nervous about having three children. Very,’ McCain confessed to Usha.
The Second Lady responded by offering her some reassurance about the development, saying: ‘I love having three kids. I’m a huge proponent of it.’

JD and Usha have been married for 11 years and share two boys, eight-year-old Ewan and five-year-old Vivek, as well as a four-year-old daughter called Mirabel.
During the interview, McCain asked about raising boys, as she had heard they might be more boisterous – to which Usha confirmed her sons have ‘a lot of energy.’
