Patrick Clancy's new wife Rachel Danis is currently carrying the couple's first child, the 60 Minutes correspondent who interviewed them last week has confirmed.

Speaking on CBS Mornings on Monday, Ross Douthat told show host Nate Burleson: 'They are having a child.'

Douthat had been answering a question from Buleson about how he handled his first assignment for the newsmagazine.

The episode aired Sunday night. 

Patrick's ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, killed the couple's three young children at their $650,000 home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023. A triple homicide trial ended in a sensational 11-1 jury deadlock and mistrial earlier this month.

Clancy, 38, offered 60 Minutes his first post-trial interview. He testified about his first wife's mental state for two days during the trial.

Danis, a New York infertility specialist, took part in the interview as well. Recent photos show her sporting what appears to be a baby bump.

'And you guys are starting a family,' Douthat asked the couple at one point - a portion played back by Burleson on Mornings during a segment on the bombshell 60 Minutes interview.

'Yes,' Danis said in the clip - leaving Burleson to ask for clarification. Douthat - a former conservative columnist for The New York Times - was on remotely as a guest.

'Maybe starting a family was a - maybe that was too - you know - too coy a way of asking it,' he conceded. 

'This is- this was my first 60 Minutes interview. So you know, when I'm a few years in, I'll ask the question more- more you know straightforwardly, but yes they're having a child.' 

Douthat was hired by CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss as part of a wider overhaul of the program back in July.  Weiss is the founder of the center-right Free Press and was hired by then-new Paramount CEO David Ellison in October.

Soon into her tenure, Weiss saw 60 Minutes 'as calcified and resistant to change,' sources told CNN in late May.

Days later, Weiss handpicked former New York Times tech columnist Nick Bilton to replace longtime producer Tanya Simon. An array of firings were also carried out, including Scott Pelley, one of the show's longest-serving journalists.

Anderson Cooper left the show of his own accord back in May as well. 

The combination of moves and new leadership fueled intrigue into 60 Minutes' then-looming 59th season, which premiered on September 13 to mostly positive reviews.

An estimated 7.9 million viewers tuned in to watch an interview with an Air Force pilot shot down over Iran earlier this year and a hidden camera investigation into underground pardon brokers in Washington from Lesley Stahl. 

'The verdict is in: it's still "60 Minutes!"' New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin wrote Sunday on X, after fears the show and feel different during its return.

A piece in the Times framed it as the start of 'The Bari Weiss Era.' 

Clancy's interview was announced with a quick 13-second clip last week. A separate clip revealed that Danis would be joining him as well.

She told Douthat at a point: 'I can’t bring his kids back. But if I can honor them and allow Pat to grieve, but also just continue to honor them in the present, it - I guess that’s all I can do.'   

The two met the same month Clancy filed for divorce from Lindsay in February 2024, more than a year after the murders of his five-year-old daughter, three-year-old son, and eight-month-old at the family's then-home in Massachusetts.

His ex-wife still faces being retried after a lone holdout juror refused to find her not guilty by lack of criminal responsibility. 

Her lawyers used what many refer to as the 'insanity defense,' after the former labor and delivery nurse admitted to fatally strangling the children before attempting suicide before the trial began. 

Her legal team argued that she had been in the throes of postpartum psychosis. 

Prosecutors have yet to announce plans to try the 36-year-old again.

On the stand, Patrick Clancy framed Lindsay as a 'very dedicated' mother who'd do anything for their kids - a point he repeatedly echoed during his interview with Douthat, where he also recalled attention the case received in the press.

'I saw headlines that say "killer mom" and "baby murderer monster" and none of them were accurate. I believed that it was her mental illness that caused that,' he said

He also discussed how stress from the murders also took its toll and left him suicidal.

'There was a time I didn't think I would live to see my 35th birthday, and I was completely fine with it,' he said.

He revealed how he moved to New York sometime during the spring of 2023 to be somewhere 'where he could grieve' alone.

Danis then revealed that the pair met about a year later. 

'I was just a girl that met a guy running in Central Park on a really cold Saturday. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that,' she said.  

The two also addressed conspiracy theories about them being peddled online. 

'It's deeply harmful to the legacy of my children,' Clancy said. 'It is a huge distraction from what really matters here, which is perinatal mental health.'

Some social media users and true crime creators have baselessly framed him as being somehow responsible for the children's death.

Clancy's lawyers promised 'consequences' for anyone peddling such 'baseless' theories in a statement this month. 

'I think I did the best I could with what I had at the time,' Clancy said after being asked by Douthat whether he had any regrets.

'I live with the outcome. I live with it every day.'  

On the stand, he recalled the various cocktails of prescription medications that failed to stop his wife's 'spiral.'

His then-wife began to tell him about 'intrusive thoughts' she was having about harming the children just months after the birth of Callan, around early December 2022, Clancy said.

'She described thoughts of hurting the kids or them having some sort of ailment.'

Clancy told jurors he did not feel concerned for his kids' safety because she did not express any intent to act on those thoughts.

The killings occurred on January 24, 2023,  after Clancy left the house to pick up medicine and a takeout order for his then-wife.  

When he returned, he testified, 'The door was locked.' 

He walked in to a bloody crime scene and a window open. His wife had attempted to take her life, he said.

He remembered rushing outside to her aid and asked what happened.

She responded, 'I tried to kill myself,' before adding their kids were in the basement. 

Under the impression they were still alive, Clancy frantically dialed 911 and waited for first-responders.

When they arrived, he rushed into the house to find all of his children lying still with exercise resistance bands wrapped around their necks.

'She killed the f****** kids!' he screamed, according to police.

Clancy revealed to Douthat that his youngest survived for four more days after the attack before dying in his arms.
