She’s smart, polished, and one of the most recognizable faces on cable news, but fans have always wondered about the one thing Dana Perino rarely discusses.
Why didn’t she have children?
The longtime Fox News anchor and former White House Press Secretary has spent decades in the public eye, commanding headlines with her sharp political insight and calm, composed demeanor. But behind the scenes, Perino made a personal decision that quietly set her apart from many of her peers.
And now, we’re finally getting a glimpse into why.In her memoir And the Good News Is…, Perino doesn’t make a big announcement. Instead, she offers a single, understated line: she “gradually came to realize” she didn’t want children.
No detailed explanation. No apology. Just a calm, matter-of-fact reflection that spoke volumes to those paying attention.
