Steve Doocy’s departure from full-time duties on “Fox & Friends” was bittersweet. He revealed that his first stop after semi-retirement would be to catch up with his son, Peter Doocy, who is also in the news industry. It’s noteworthy that many may not realize they are actually related!
Despite some not knowing their familial ties, both Steve and Peter have always been open about it. A collection of clips shared by “Fox & Friends” showcased Peter participating in “Take Your Kids to Work Days” long before starting his own news career. One charming moment features young Peter interviewing his sister, Sally, about their dad’s job, hinting at his future in journalism.
Steve has often discussed Peter’s beginnings at Fox, recalling that Peter got his first role as a correspondent during college. In a humorous moment, a young Peter joked about enlisting friends for a project by promising them drinks. Ultimately, he continued with the network, and during a 2021 celebration of Fox News’s 25th anniversary, Steve proudly shared his admiration for Peter stepping into a significant role, saying, “My son Peter is the White House correspondent. People compliment me on how well we raised him,” as video clips reminisced about Peter’s growth in the newsroom.
