Harris Faulkner may be a force on Fox News, anchoring The Faulkner Focus and co-hosting Outnumbered, but at home she’s simply “Mom.”
Beyond the studio lights and political headlines, the Emmy-winning journalist is raising two daughters, Bella and Danika, with love, faith, and a fierce commitment to connection.
They Keep Their Family Life Private — But Full of Purpose
Faulkner and her husband, former journalist Tony Berlin, have been intentional about keeping their home life out of the spotlight.
But in rare interviews, Faulkner has shared heartfelt insights about what parenting means to her.
In a 2020 People interview, she opened up about raising her daughters in a biracial, multi-faith household.
“We’re raising our girls predominantly Christian, but they’re exposed to everything,” she said.
“We do Passover and the reading of the Haggadah… With biracial children, they, to me, are the epitome of where our attitude should be.”
For Faulkner, Bella and Danika represent more than her family, they symbolize her hope for a more unified, compassionate world.
“When Mom Is With Us, We Matter Most”
With two nationally televised programs, Faulkner juggles one of the busiest schedules in cable news. But her biggest challenge? Mom guilt.
“I experience mom guilt,” she admitted.
Between basketball, tennis, and gymnastics, her girls keep her calendar full and sometimes she has to miss big moments.
That’s why, when she’s home, she’s all in.
“I try to own every moment that I’m in because it teaches them that when Mom is with us, we matter most,” she said.
One of her most powerful parenting tools is also one of the simplest: eye contact.
“It teaches them they’re seen, they’re heard.”
Motherhood Comes First — No Matter What’s On Air
Though she rarely posts about Bella and Danika or shares photos publicly, Faulkner’s love for her girls shines through in every interview.
Whether she’s reporting on national issues or talking about bedtime routines, one message stays the same: Family comes first.
“Motherhood is my greatest joy,” she’s said.
As her career continues to break barriers, Harris Faulkner remains grounded by the two girls who know her best and love her most.
