CNN’s Erin Burnett gave birth to her second child Saturday, a baby girl weighing 7.5 lbs to join big brother Nyle.
A few days before the primetime anchor went into labor, she spoke to TheWrap about balancing motherhood and the 24/7 TV news grind, her show’s ratings momentum, 2016 and more. The “Outfront” anchor’s secret to staying up on the news while raising her first child: “My little guy went through a long period where he didn’t sleep, and luckily I’m an insomniac anyway, so I was able to deal with that.”
The former CNBC anchor and CNBC digital media VP also gave her take on Donald Trump and the recipe for CNN’s recent ratings success.
