In a deeply emotional moment just 25 minutes ago, Benjamin Hall, the resilient Fox News correspondent, was seen wiping away tears as he cradled his newborn baby in his arms. The heartwarming scene, shared via social media, quickly went viral as fans, followers, and colleagues around the world reacted to the touching image of the war reporter-turned-new dad.
Hall, who has spent the past two years recovering from severe injuries sustained while covering the war in Ukraine, called the birth of his child a “miracle and a blessing”, crediting his family for helping him through the darkest period of his life.
“I never thought I’d get here,” Hall said in a heartfelt post. “To hold this tiny life in my arms, to know what we’ve overcome—it’s overwhelming.”
But the emotional day came with a major announcement as well: Benjamin Hall is officially returning to Fox News.
A Triumphant Return to Journalism
In his announcement, Hall confirmed that he will resume his role as a Fox News foreign correspondent later this year, stating that his passion for journalism has only grown stronger since his injury.
“There’s still so much truth that needs to be told,” Hall said. “I want my child to grow up knowing their father stood for something real—truth, courage, and resilience.”
Fox News has already issued a statement welcoming Hall back, calling him “an irreplaceable voice” and “a symbol of journalistic integrity and human strength.”
