“A busy day at the studio!” the doctor wrote in the caption.

The third image in the series of seven features Shimkus grinning widely with her arms around Nesheiwat’s shoulders as the pair stood in front of some camera equipment.

Nesheiwat had her eyes closed, indicating that the photo may have been a quick, impromptu shot.

Shimkus reposted the photo to her own Instagram Story.

“I love you sooo much,” she wrote below the image.

The anchor, who’s been a co-host on Fox & Friends First program since October 2021, gave birth to her son Edward Brock on February 3.

Shimkus returned to work at the beginning of this month after a four-month maternity leave.

“It feels great to be back!” she said in an Instagram post on June 2.

“A sincere thank you to everyone at Fox for being so supportive while I was on maternity leave. The kindness means more to me than you’ll ever know.”

In the weeks before her return, Shimkus shared several pictures of the baby, including one with her husband Peter Buchignani.

In that image, Shimkus can be seen holding Edward and looking down at the baby as he shows off his gums while wearing a yellow onesie.

Buchignani stood next to his wife and son while smiling at the camera.

He started dating Shimkus in 2013 and the couple got married two years later.

Buchignani is a businessman and Princeton University alum who attended the school between 2005 and 2009 and earned a degree in political science.

He’s also a seasoned athlete who played football in high school and college.
