CT News Anchor Announces Birth Of 2nd Child

CONNECTICUT — It's a girl, for WFSB-TV morning news anchor Nicole Nalepa and her husband, Andrew, as the couple welcomed their second child, Emeline, to the world on Tuesday.

"We are smitten over this little girl, & big brother George is beyond excited!" Nalepa wrote on Twitter. "Thank you for the caring thoughts & wishes you sent us as we awaited Emmie’s arrival. She is already so loved!

Nalepa announced in March that she was pregnant, and at the time, she said that the family would not find out the child's gender until the birth, the same tact they took with Emeline's brother, George.

On Friday, Nalepa's colleagues on the station's morning newscast, Wendell Edwards, Caitlin Francis and Scot Haney, congratulated her on the birth.

"7 pounds, 2 ounces. Everyone's happy, everyone's healthy," Francis said. See the video below.

Nalepa joined WFSB in 2013, and in addition to her morning anchor duties, she also hosts and produces the podcast "Mommyhood Unscripted," and hosts various weekly segments, such as "Surprise Squad" and "Family Friday."

Before she joined WFSB, Nalepa was an anchor at WWLP-TV in Springfield, Massachusetts, according to her bio. She graduated from Westfield State University, and she also held a post-grad internship at CBS News in New York on the "Evening News with Katie Couric."
