“I hope you don’t mind. I wanted to let you in on something that’s private that I haven’t talked about publicly yet,” McCain told Vance, 39, at the time.
“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 continued.
“I know this is a weird way to announce it, but I’m very nervous about,” McCain added. “It’s a boy. I’m very nervous about having a boy. And I’m very nervous about having three children. Very.”

McCain spoke with PEOPLE in 2023 about how she believes in “keeping things really basic” when it comes to her parenting style.
“I feel so lucky just to have children because I didn’t know if I was ever going to be able to have children,” she said at the time. “I feel so lucky to be in this really sweet spot in my life right now.”
Added the former co-host of The View: “I just really try and live in a moment with them and really appreciate everything, even when it’s not glamorous.”
