Rachel Campos-Duffy Takes the Curvy Couch by Storm

Rachel Campos-Duffy, known for her passionate commentary, relatable personality, and being a mother of nine, has officially been named the third co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend. She replaces Jedediah Bila and joins current co-hosts Pete Hegseth and Will Cain starting June 12.

In her celebratory Instagram post, Campos-Duffy wrote:

“What an honor & blessing to be the new co-host of Fox & Friends Weekend — America’s #1 rated cable morning show! I’m beyond excited to work with my friends Pete Hegseth & Will Cain to inform, entertain & represent our amazing, patriotic & loyal viewers!”

Campos-Duffy has steadily earned her place on the curvy couch through frequent guest appearances and strong rapport with Fox Nation’s audience via her popular show Moms. Known for her unapologetic conservatism and authenticity, Rachel’s promotion marks a cultural win for viewers who have long resonated with her down-to-earth approach.

Lawrence Jones Steps into the Spotlight

In a move that reinforces Fox’s commitment to dynamic field reporting, Lawrence Jones has been appointed as enterprise reporter across the Fox & Friends franchise. The 32-year-old, who has become a fan favorite for his on-the-ground storytelling and crisp interviews, will also continue to serve as a fill-in co-host on both weekday and weekend editions of Fox & Friends.

“The journey continues… I am excited to take on a new role as enterprise reporter across the Fox & Friends franchise and continue my feature reporting on the ground, following the news wherever it may take me,” Jones tweeted.

Known for his work on Fox Nation’s Keeping Up with Jones, Lawrence’s new role is a nod to his deepening influence within the Fox News lineup. He brings a fresh, millennial voice that balances field credibility with magnetic on-screen energy.
