Greg Gutfeld’s fans have been wondering where he’s been for the past few weeks. The host of “The Five” and “Gutfeld!” had been noticeably absent from his usual spots on Fox News, leaving viewers curious about his whereabouts. On Tuesday, the mystery was finally solved, and the reason behind his absence brought joy to many.
Dana Perino, Gutfeld’s co-host on “The Five,” shared the exciting news during the show. “A lot of you are going to be really surprised by this,” she said. “As you may have noticed, our friend Greg Gutfeld has been absent for a few weeks, and there’s a good reason for that.” She then read a statement from Gutfeld announcing the birth of his baby daughter, Mira.
In his signature humorous style, Gutfeld wrote, “My wife, Elana, and I are extremely happy to announce the birth of a baby girl. Mira has a genuine set of lungs and is in good health. She has my rock-hard abs and Elana’s gorgeous eyes. We are working diligently to educate her in three languages and put her through demanding exercise regimens. She has already inquired whether Jesse wears a toupee because she is so perceptive. I informed her that he undoubtedly does.”
Gutfeld also mentioned his French bulldog, Gus, joking, “I must now go prevent Gus from kissing her face.” The announcement was met with laughter and applause from his colleagues and fans alike.
After the reveal, Gutfeld took to social media to thank everyone for their kind words. He wrote, “[S]ee, that’s how you keep a secret. [T]hanks for the kind remarks! I’ll see you in a few!”
Gutfeld, 60, has been married to his wife, Elena Moussa, since 2004. While he is known for his outspoken political commentary, he has always kept his personal life relatively private. The news of his new baby came as a delightful surprise to fans, who flooded social media with congratulations.
This happy news caps off a successful year for Gutfeld, whose late-night show has solidified its place in the ratings. In September, he hosted a visit from then-candidate Donald Trump, marking one of his biggest episodes since the show’s debut in 2021. With a new addition to his family, Gutfeld’s life seems to be as vibrant and exciting as his career.
