A resurfaced interview between Turner and her fellow anchor Dana Perino revealed her experience while she was pregnant with her first daughter, Lucia Rose Kramer.

“The best part for me has been working during my pregnancy and as a new mother,” Turner told Perino last December.

Her daughter was two and a half years old at the time.

“I’ve never felt so valued, so supported or celebrated as I did by bosses and colleagues during that time,” she said.

“It was very special.

“The words of wisdom and encouragement I received from everyone, including people I’d never met and still haven’t met face-to-face; the thoughtful presents people sent me; and all the emotional support was just totally unexpected.”

Turner said she didn’t feel isolated during her pregnancy, despite it coinciding with the pandemic.

“I was also very sick a lot of the time, and never felt judgment or disappointment from anyone,” she added.

She continued, “But thanks to my wonderful bosses and colleagues, it was just the most exuberant working time of my life (weird how the hardest is, in hindsight, the best).”

Turner gave birth to Lucia, whose nickname is Coco, in July 2021.

She announced her second pregnancy with her husband, entrepreneur Alex Kramer, on The Five chat in August.

The couple’s second kid, a boy, is due next month.

When announcing the news, she wore a light blue blazer to tease the baby’s gender.

Her co-workers were quick to congratulate her on the pregnancy on social media.

Remy Numa, Fox’s lead political affairs specialist, wished her the best on X.

“Congrats, Gillian! Thrilled for you,” he wrote.

Contributor Lisa Boothe wrote, “Congratulations, my friend!!!

“I am so happy for you guys!!!”

Turner has made multiple appearances on Fox in the past few weeks, despite inching closer to her due date.

She currently serves as an anchor and the State Department and foreign policy correspondent on Fox News.

She first joined the network as a contributor in 2014.

Before joining Fox, Turner worked at the White House National Security Council during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations.
