All About Sophie, Ellie, Jesse Jr. and Georgina

Jesse Watters is a father to four kids: twin daughters Sophie and Ellie, son Jesse Jr. and daughter Georgina.

In October 2011, the Fox News host welcomed twin daughters, Sophie and Ellie, with then-wife Noelle Watters (née Inguagiato). The two divorced in 2019, and Jesse married Emma Watters (née DiGiovine), a former associate producer on his show Watters’ World, that same year.

The couple welcomed son Jesse Jr. in April 2021 followed by daughter Georgina two years later in April 2023.

After Georgina’s birth, Jesse returned to The Five on May 1, 2023. There, he told his co-hosts about his paternity leave and life as a father of four.

“It was really nice these last two weeks with paternity because you spend a lot of quality time with the family, good one on one time with the son,” he said. “I did change more diapers than I’m giving myself credit for and Emma has just been spectacular.”

Here’s everything to know about Jesse Watters’ four kids: Sophie, Ellie, Jesse Jr. and Georgina.

Sophie and Ellie Watters, 13

Jesse and Noelle welcomed twin daughters Sophie and Ellie Watters on Oct. 7, 2011.

Although the twins are rarely featured on Jesse’s social media, he’s given them a number of shout-outs over the years. In December 2019, Jesse posted a photo on Instagram showing his daughters and Emma ice skating in New York City.

That month, Sophie and Ellie served as flower girls in their father’s wedding to Emma, which was featured in a February 2020 photo carousel on Jesse’s Instagram.

In December 2020, Jesse mentioned his daughters on The Five in honor of National Twins Day. In the clip, Jesse said he would feature “some of America’s greatest twins,” starting with a snap of his daughters, Ellie and Sophie.

Noelle celebrated her daughters’ 13th birthday in a Oct. 7, 2024, Facebook post, sharing a photo of Sophie and Ellie alongside the caption, “Happy 13th S and E. You are spectacular!”

That same day, Emma celebrated Sophie and Ellie’s birthday, sharing a group photo of the family of six. “My sweet twinnies!!! Happy 13th birthday!” their stepmom wrote. “I remember the minute I met you… two tiny blessings.”

“You taught me what it means to be a parent before I even knew I was ready to be one,” she added. “So proud of you both and the young ladies you’ve become. Love you.”

In June 2025, Jesse and Emma celebrated the twins’ middle school graduation. In a photo shared on Instagram, the twins posed alongside their family in gold caps and gowns.

Jesse and Emma welcomed their first child together, son Jesse Bailey Watters Jr., on April 1, 2021.

Jesse announced the birth of his son on Instagram, sharing photos of the newborn from the hospital.

“Emma and I are thrilled to welcome Jesse Bailey Watters, Jr. into our world,” he wrote. “He clocked in on April Fools Day, weighing 7lbs 3oz.”

Jesse had previously announced that Emma was expecting in an October 2020 episode of The Five. “Emma is pregnant. We’re very happy,” he said. “The twins are very excited, we told them over the weekend.”

He also revealed the sex of their child during the segment, providing cupcakes filled with blue frosting to his co-hosts.

In May 2023, Jesse gave viewers of The Five an update about how Jesse Jr. was adjusting to having a little sister. “He’s fine,” he said. “He’s been a great older brother. I’ve spent a lot of time with him, which has been great.”

He also shared a video of Jesse Jr. tossing crackers into Georgina’s bassinet, insisting on giving her “more.”

For Jesse Jr.’s 3rd birthday, Emma shared a post on Instagram, describing her son as “kind, curious, tender, stubborn, self-assured and whip-smart.”

“You are a good friend, a wonderful brother, an old soul and a lover not a fighter,” she added. “But most of all, you are all things good and bright. Sunshine in human form. Love you more than life little guy.”

Georgina Post Watters, 2

Jesse and Emma welcomed their second child together, daughter Georgina “Gigi” Post Watters, on April 17, 2023.

Jesse announced the birth of his youngest child on Instagram, posting a photo with his wife and their newborn daughter paired with the caption, “Georgina (“Gigi”) Post Watters born 6lbs 3oz… welcome to the world!”

When Jesse returned to The Five in May 2023, he shared the story behind his daughter’s middle name, explaining that it was a family name on his wife’s side.

“Post is a family name on Emma’s side – great grandmother. It just flows really well,” he said. “We were thinking about Emma Jr. or Jessica, but we went with Georgina Post.”

On Georgina’s first birthday, Emma shared a post on Instagram celebrating her daughter, describing her as a “sassy, fierce, headstrong, bright-eyed, fearless, spunky little princess.”
