The pregnancy was announced on the cover of The Cut's March 2021, during an interview between Abby and Gayle King.

On March 22nd, she posted an image of the cover captioning, "I shot this cover when I was 4 months pregnant and I can't wait to tell my baby girl that she was on the cover of a magazine. There are no words. The experience of pregnancy has only made me become more in awe of what we as women are able to endure."

She explained how the first few months of her pregnancy weren't easy. "It was tough: battling morning sickness while balancing a demanding job with long, unpredictable hours. But it has been a reminder of what I am capable of - and what so many women do every day."

Her new mum life will be extremely busy as she's writing a book about Jesse Jackson's 1988 presidential run and will be continuing to host her CNN show, Inside Politics.
