""It's like news," he said of the early days of parenthood. "You wake up, and you just go.""
"For more than a decade, Hillyard has lived at the pace of breaking news, filing from rally floors and courthouse steps, from campaign tarmacs and the tight quarters of the White House press pool."
"His son's name came years before the child was born. In 2021, Hillyard and his then-boyfriend, Devan Cayea, were hiking through Runyon Canyon when the conversation turned to a future that still felt more imagined than real."
"Now 35, he has spent most of his adult life covering Donald Trump and the MAGA movement that reshaped American politics."
Vaughn Hillyard, a senior White House reporter, recently welcomed his son, Hudson, born on April 4, 2026. Currently on parental leave, he is adjusting to the new responsibilities of fatherhood. Hillyard has spent over a decade covering American politics, particularly the Trump era. He describes early parenthood as akin to the fast-paced nature of news reporting. The name Hudson was chosen years prior during a hike, symbolizing a journey from imagination to reality as they prepared for their new family member.
