Patrick Clancy's new wife, Rachel Danis, is pregnant with their first child, according to the interviewer who spoke with the couple for a "60 Minutes" segment. CBS correspondent Ross Douthat confirmed the pregnancy on "CBS Mornings".
"Yes, they're having a child," Douthat told anchor Nate Burleson, admitting he had been too indirect in his initial questioning about the couple's plans to start a family. Patrick Clancy and Danis had previously told "60 Minutes" that they intended to begin a family together.
This news follows the tragic deaths of Clancy's three young children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—who were strangled by his first wife, Lindsay Clancy, more than three years ago. Patrick Clancy stated in the interview that he looks forward to telling his future children about their deceased siblings.
"I think every parent can agree, you have different relationships with your kids, but they're all your kids. And I can't wait to tell them about their brothers and sister," he said during their joint interview.
Lindsay Clancy has been charged in connection with the deaths of their children in January 2023. She was a nurse who allegedly strangled the children at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home before attempting to kill herself by jumping from a window. Patrick Clancy has been involved in the legal proceedings related to the case.
