On Friday, Ginger relayed her joy for the journalist after he announced he had adopted a baby girl.

Dan posted a series of sweet snaps of him cuddling with the newborn as she nestled against his chest.

He also shared one pic of his daughter sporting a beautiful floral onesie, sunglasses, and a pacifier in her mouth while she lay on a baby blue blanket.

The Pix 11 reporter gushed over his newest addition in the caption: “BREAKING NEWS: I’m a dad!

“Say hello to my beautiful daughter, Olivia Rose Mannarino.
I’ve always wanted to be a dad and I came to realize that families truly come in all shapes and sizes and so I chose to grow my family through adoption.”

Dan continued: “I met Olivia when she was just hours old, and it’s been amazing to watch her grow, and her personality and curiosity grow with each passing day.

“I am beyond excited for this chapter and here is what I really hope everyone realizes because it is something I had to tell myself repeatedly, and it doesn’t just apply to this: don’t let anyone’s opinion stop you from living the life that you want. This is an absolute dream come true,” he concluded.

Ginger said some kind words for her colleague in the comments: “This message and new family give me and the world the love we need. Thank you and can’t wait to meet her.”

CRYPTIC TWEETS

Days earlier, fans were shocked over Ginger’s cryptic posts, unlike the motivational and inspirational content she usually shares.

On Thursday, her Instagram story included a screenshot of a tweet from Terrence Lee, another news anchor for Fox 32 Chicago.

The tweet read: “If you’re compromising your needs, lowering your standards, or trying to change your personality to make others happy, you’re headed in the wrong direction.”

Ginger then added her own caption on the Instagram story above the screenshot.

“Feels so good to be slowly turning away from that wrong direction over time,” she said.

She also included a clip from New York City media personality Ben Aaron, seemingly asking if the anchor should replace her on GMA.

Although these could be referencing any number of things in Ginger’s personal life, it’s speculated that they could be about her career and the decisions she made with ABC News.

TAKING A REST

These aren’t the first cryptic posts that the 41-year-old has included on her platforms.

She recently posted an image about taking a rest, prompting many to question if she may be under the weather.

Additionally, last week she included a message about letting go of the desire for control in life and letting it lead you.

Per her Instagram stories, Ginger seems to be a big fan of the Calm app, which is known to help with rest and wellness.

Her stories from Thursday and Friday include two posts with quotes from the application.

The first revolves around “adopting the peace of nature,” and the second says, “The Sangha is an island of peace.”

Peace has been a common theme for Ginger based on her social media, making many fans wonder about the stress levels she faces in her recent reporting.

She flew to France recently to report on the wildfires raging there for Good Morning America.

The California native is a known climate change activist and even the managing editor of the climate unit at ABC News.
