Jessica’s Dad Passed Away While She Was Pregnant
Heartbreakingly, while Jessica Tarlov was able to laugh off Dana Perino’s misstep, things weren’t all smooth sailing in the coming months. Conversely, her father passed away when she was just over halfway through her pregnancy.
As noted by The Hour, Jessica’s father, Hollywood producer Mark Tarlov, had cancer — and as if a cancer diagnosis wouldn’t have been devastating enough, that had been a direct result of toxic chemicals emitted in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, as his apartment wasn’t far from the Twin Towers. Understandably, the situation was incredibly hard on the Fox News personality. Speaking to Carry, she shared, “The grief combined with postpartum has created an emotional rollercoaster that’s tough to handle at home, let alone at work.” Sadly, she also told the outlet that if she could have any superpower, she’d pick time travel. “Would love to be able to take my daughter back to spend time with my dad,” she said.

One small consolation, no doubt, was the outpouring of love she received after she posted about her dad’s death on X. In addition to many of her Fox colleagues reaching out to send their condolences, a number of well-wishers who knew Jessica’s late father also shared stories of their experiences with him. “I worked for your dad when he was at Warner Bros … He was such a special person and everyone who met him could not help but be taken by his intelligence and sense of humor,” wrote one, prompting a response from Jessica, thanking her for sharing the memories. Another wrote that their family had known Mark’s father, gushing, “If he grew up to be anything like his dad, we’ve all lost a great man.” We’re sending our love to the Fox star.
