The couples are proud parents of a son, Luke, and two adopted dogs from local rescue groups, Capt. Jack and Roddy.
Now that she is a mom, she uses her influence as a news anchor to reach out to children.
Recently, she helped an 8-year-old girl named Marley who was teased at school because of her glasses.
“Now that I’m a mom, stories impact me differently,”

“I can get emotional about some stories.
They can be happy or sad.
I’ve always cared and been impacted but now it’s been more challenging.”
