Abby Phillip and Marcus Richardson are now parents of two!
The CNN anchor, 37, announced on Instagram on November 3 that she and her husband welcomed their son, Maxwell Elias Richardson, on October 27.
“Welcome to the world Maxwell Elias Richardson! We’re overjoyed to welcome our sweet baby boy to our family,” Phillip wrote alongside a photo of her family of four. “He was born on October 27th at home with the help of our wonderful midwife.”
“He’s eating and sleeping like a champ and making himself right at home,” she added.
Maxwell joins big sister Naomi Angelina Richardson, whom the couple welcomed on August 16, 2021.
Phillip first shared her second pregnancy news with People in May.
“Our journey to a second child looked a little different from our first. Like so many families, we were able to conceive with the help of IVF [in vitro fertilization],” she explained. “In this moment, I’m both grateful that we were successful in God’s perfect timing and I’m also holding hope in my heart for all the families who are still waiting in their journey.”
“The process was challenging to manage, both emotionally and physically, but I’m thrilled to say we arrived at a beautiful place,” Phillip added.
In September, she celebrated her baby sprinkle with family and friends.
“A sprinkle full of love from my sisters for Baby Boy Richardson. In the thick of pregnancy, I haven’t always felt like celebrating or even marking the moment, so I’m grateful for my dear friends … for insisting that I do,” she wrote at the time.
“It was beautiful and joyous to bring everyone together, including so much of my DC family. We’re ready for you baby boy,” she continued.
Congratulations to Abby and Marcus on the birth of their baby boy!
