“As a matter of fact, it was around-the-clock Fox News at our house growing up.”
Here’s what else you oughta know about the “Fox & Friends” co-host.
She was raised in Long Valley, a historic and picturesque community.
For the Shimkuses, there was no better place to raise a family.
Carley also is grateful to her mom and dad, who have supported her every step of the way.
The “Fox & Friends First” co-host is 5 feet, 10 inches and that is without shoes.
Before diving headfirst into the broadcast news world, she figured she might as well give modeling a shot.
In the end, however, she decided not to pursue it.
Rather, their paths crossed while out on the town.
Evidently, sparks flew, and the two struck up a romance.
Shimkus and Buchignani tied the knot in a wedding ceremony in New Jersey in 2015.
“My husband is a diehard fan,” she dished to Fox News' Dana Perino.
“We walked out to the Michigan fight song on our wedding day at his request!”
“Our whole marriage has been between New York and Chicago.
So long as things go as planned, the couple gets to see each other every week.
“One day it won’t be like that anymore.”
We need more closet space for all of the gear!”
Shimkus told the outlet.
By June 2023, Shimkus was back to work.
“I didn’t sleep last night because I was so excited to be here.”
In her aforementioned chat with First Time Parent, she noted that hiring a nanny helped make this possible.
What’s more, the media personality has also become quite the expert in packingthe perfect diaper bag.
The experience was everything she ever wanted and more.
Here, Shimkus started as a production assistant before eventually getting promoted to associate producer.
She also became the field producer of the show’s “Man on the Street” segment.
Thank you for everything."
“It’s an entry-level position, but a very good job'.
I loved it, and I loved being a part of it.”
Since then, Shimkus has become one of the recognizable faces in news television.
Fortunately, Mele’s successor, Carley Shimkus, seems to be something of a morning person.
Shimkus got used to getting an extra early start on the day when she joined the Fox team.
And while some may struggle with that kind of schedule, Shimkus loves it.
Er, she loves at least one part of it: the java.
At some point, the New Jersey native has to sit down and enjoy a good meal.
This is also how she earned her nickname, “The Foodie.”
“Janice [Dean] and I are definitely big eaters,” Shimkus even revealed.
Sometimes, the women like to go to the nearby Flame Diner at Fox.
Shimkus also has a hilarious way of letting Dean know about her dining plans.
“I’ll just text her like, three flame emojis,” the New Jersey native revealed.
“And she’s like: ‘Oh, yeah, we’re getting food today.'”
The book features recipes from Shimkus, her fellow Fox reporters, and some of the show’s guests.
“None of the people who contributed are expert chefs,” Shimkus explained to the Daily Mail.
“They have that one recipe that they love and is meaningful to them.
