Kristen Welker and Husband John Hughes Welcome Second Baby via Surrogate! Meet Their Son John Zachary

'Meet the Press' moderator Kristen Welker and her husband John Hughes have welcomed their second baby — a son named John Zachary — via surrogate. The baby boy joins big sister Margot Lane, who turns 3 this month.

⁠"The Meet the Pres s family officially has a new member," said NBC News Chief White House Correspondent Peter Alexander said on the Sunday, June 2 episode of the show, which he hosted in Welker's absence. "John Zachary’s big sister Margot, as you can imagine, she is extremely proud, welcoming home her baby brother yesterday," Alexander, 47, continued. "This is an extraordinary moment, there’s no doubt about that," said Welker, who made history as the first Black journalist to moderate a Sunday public affairs program when she became host of NBC's Meet the Press last September.
