Chris and Dana Loesch have two sons. She previously wrote about motherhood in a popular blog called Mamalogues. A 2010 Riverfront Times article on Dana Loesch, written when she was 31, described her as “a homeschooling mom blogger with a national following, a co-founder of the St. Louis Tea Party and a fast-rising star in the conservative commentators’ universe.” Their sons are named Ewan and Liam.

Dana once wrote on her blog, “We are non-denominational Jesus-freaks. I think some people are scared of Christians because they think we’re all like Piper Laurie’s Carrie character, fuzzy-headed carnival barkers who make a circus out of worship. Those kind of people scare the crap out of me, too. I left the church for awhile because I allowed other people to represent their distorted views of Christianity to me instead of discovering for myself.” She stopped updating the blog in 2011, explaining in part that she was halting the work “because my boys are getting older I’m uncomfortable with documenting their lives as I used to and wish to give them a bit more privacy as they grow into their own.”

They also post frequently about their dogs. “Smothered in #frenchies #RoccoAndLouie #frenchbulldogs,” wrote Chris in one Instagram post.

Chris Loesch posted a photo with Dana and their two young sons. According to one bio of him, “Chris was raised in a politically conservative home that saw the transformative power of Christ first hand. The significance of gun safety and usage was taught from a very early age. His respect and excitement for firearms, as well as becoming a proficient user, has extended from his first Red Rider BB-gun to his extensive collection. This knowledge was ingrained in Chris as a child, and he has now had the privilege to pass it on to his own children as well as many adults. He is currently a husband, father and manager of the business affairs for Dana Loesch.”

In one throwback photo, he referred to the “oldest boy” of the couple. His father was a World War II veteran who was wounded in France.

Chris Loesch has also referenced an oldest son on Instagram, writing, “’your faith be bigger than your fear.’ A cool scene that I found on my oldest son’s messy desk. Thought it would look nice in portrait mode. #Faith #Christian #Love.”
