Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, and his wife, conservative podcast host Katie Miller, are expecting their fourth child.
The couple quietly shared the news via a joint Instagram post from a New Year’s Eve celebration at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. In the photo, Katie cradles her baby bump alongside a simple caption: “Happy New Year!”
Stephen, 40, and Katie, 34, were married in February 2020. They are already parents to three young children: a 5-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, and two sons, Jackson, 3, and Hudson, 2.
The pregnancy announcement follows a recent moment of lighthearted scrutiny over Stephen Miller’s parenting reputation, sparked during an episode of The Katie Miller Podcast. Katie welcomed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his wife, Jen Hegseth, as guests and asked Pete which Trump advisers he would trust to babysit his seven children.

“Oh, I mean, not your husband or Marco,” Hegseth joked, referring to Stephen Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Despite the tease, Hegseth went on to say Stephen would be the adviser most likely to call him “after hours in an emergency.”
Katie agreed with the assessment, as Hegseth added, “Stephen, you know it’s true. You know it’s true. There’s others on the list, but he’s on top of the mountaintop.”
Stephen Miller remains one of the most polarizing figures in the Trump administration and the broader MAGA movement. During Trump’s first term, he served as a senior adviser and played a central role in shaping immigration policy, including the family separation strategy. In the current administration, he serves as a homeland security adviser and deputy chief of staff for policy, continuing his hard-line stance on immigration and backing mass deportation efforts.
In May 2025, NBC News reported that Miller warned Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials they could face termination if daily detention targets were not met.
Miller has also been outspoken on education policy, particularly his opposition to critical race theory and what he describes as “communist ideology” in schools.
“For any nation to be successful, it cannot teach its children to hate themselves and their country,” Miller said during a May 2025 briefing. “Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding.”
He added that withholding federal funding from schools that promote opposing viewpoints is a key part of the administration’s agenda.
“These are a few of the areas in which President Trump has fought the cancerous, communist, woke culture which is destroying this country,” Miller said. “Where we were led to believe that men were women and that women were men, where racial discrimination was good and merit was bad, and that safety and physical security mattered less than liberal ideologues.”
