MSNBC Katy Tur and “CBS This Morning” co-host Tony Dokoupil announced the birth
of their second child, Eloise Judy Bear Dokoupil.
“Though mom was screaming by dawn, dad was convinced it was the takeout,” Tur and
her husband Tony Dokoupil said in a statement to “Today.”
“When Mom got into the car without him and starting pounding the horn, Dad finally ran
out, forgetting half the hospital supplies.”
Tur and Dokoupil made light of their experience leading up to the birth of their daughter.
While in labor and arriving at the hospital, the couple stated that the first thing Tur told
someone at the hospital was for an epidural, but they joked that person “may or may not
have been an employee.”
In January, the NBC News journalist announced her pregnancy publicly on-air, resulting
in her husband to tweet “visual confirmation.” Tur also made it known on her “Today”
appearance that she received the COVID-19 vaccine while seven months pregnant
