White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that she is pregnant. On her Instagram account, she posted a photo of herself next to a Christmas tree while holding her belly. "This is the best Christmas gift I could have asked for," she wrote. Jean-Pierre is expected to give birth in May 2026 and will be the first in US history to serve in this role while pregnant. In her post, she also thanked President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for "fostering a family-supportive environment," in her words.
