Christmas Cards from Nancy Grace in 2008

Outspoken news anchor and former prosecutor, Nancy Grace, released her 2008 Christmas photo cards to the public. Nancy is pictured with her husband, David Linch, and their 13-month-old twins, Lucy Elizabeth and John David. The happy family posed for the center picture, with mom and dad holding the twins. This picture is flanked on either side with a close-up of each baby. The children are both dressed in red and white and are seated in front of an elegant black and white filigree background. A few short words above the Christmas photos reference Nancy’s difficult and unlikely pregnancy last year and the birth of her “miracle twins.”

Grace married her husband in April, 2007 and announced her pregnancy shortly thereafter. She was 48 years old when she was carrying the twins and had a difficult pregnancy that resulted in an early C-section in November. The babies were born small, but appear healthy as ever in their Christmas card.

Nancy Grace has had a tumultuous career as a former prosecutor and news anchor for both CourtTV and CNN. Grace had aspirations of becoming an English professor when she was in college, but quickly changed her career path after the murder of her fiancée. She was only 19 when she endured that sudden loss, and decided to enroll in law school and become a victims’ rights advocate. Her outspokenness often got her in trouble in the courtroom, but it grabbed the attention of network news bigwigs. She was eventually given her own show on CNN Headline News. Her aggressive interviewing style was scrutinized following the apparent suicide of Melinda Duckett, an interviewee who was hard-pressed by Grace. She also famously proclaimed the guilt of the Duke Lacrosse team to an incessant degree before the boys’ names were cleared and North Carolina prosecutor Mike Nifong was disbarred for his sloppy conduct during the investigation.

Regardless of Nancy Grace’s career blemishes, she seems happy as ever with her new role as mom. She has two babies to care for and she will put them first. One thing is for sure – if she is as outspoken at home as she is in the newsroom, her children will never get out of line!
