It’s A Girl: Chelsea Clinton Gives Birth To Daughter
Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, gave birth to a little girl named Charolette Clinton Mezvinsky.
During an interview with Glamor magazine in 2013, Clinton, 34, said she and her husband Marc hoped to welcome a baby in 2014. And, the former first daughter announced the pregnancy to the world in April at the finale of a female empowerment forum in New York.
Chelsea was thrown in the public eye as a teenager growing up in the White House. She later attended and graduated both Stanford and Columbia universities. While in New York, she worked in the finance industry. She also worked in the public health sector and earned a doctorate from Oxford University. Chelsea became vice chair of the family’s foundation. And, she recently left NBC News where she was a special correspondent.
Chelsea and Marc met as teenagers while in Washington and they attended Stanford together. The couple were married in 2010. Mezvinsky is the son of former U.S. Rep. Majorie Margolies and Edward Mezvinsky, Clintons’ long-time friends. Mezvinsky works as a hedge fund manager.
Talking about the first grandchild for the Clintons, Hillary said she was looking forward to the baby’s birth. The news of the birth comes while Hillary debates whether or not to run for 2016 presidency. Her decision could mean she becomes the first female president of the U.S. As it currently stands, she is the top contender for the Democratic race and would succeed President Barack Obama. Hillary said her decision would be made the first part of 2015, as she wanted to wait until her grandchild’s birth.
Bill Clinton said he was also anticipating the baby’s birth. During a September event with former president George W. Bush, his cell phone rang while on stage. He joked that just two people related to him had the phone number and said it hopes it didn’t mean he would be a premature grandfather.
Congratulations to the happy couple and family!
