Greg Gutfeld, the sharp-witted host of Fox News’ Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, has long been known for his irreverent humor and political commentary. But in December 2024, Gutfeld took on a new role that brought a softer side to the television personality: fatherhood. At 60 years old, Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mira, into the world. The announcement, shared on The Five by co-host Dana Perino, sparked an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike. While rumors have circulated about a second baby and an early birthday party featuring the entire cast of The Five—complete with a surprising special character—no such event has been confirmed. However, Gutfeld’s journey as a father and his close-knit relationship with his The Five colleagues offer plenty of heartwarming moments worth celebrating.

Mira’s arrival was a significant milestone for Gutfeld and Moussa, who have been married since 2004 after meeting in London during Gutfeld’s tenure as editor-in-chief of Maxim magazine. On The Five, Gutfeld shared a humorous statement about his newborn daughter, saying, “Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.” He jokingly added that they were already teaching her three languages and putting her through “rigorous workout routines,” even claiming that Mira had asked if his co-host Jesse Watters wears a toupee—a playful jab that delighted viewers. Gutfeld’s absence from his shows in late November and December 2024 had sparked speculation among fans, with some wondering if he had left Fox News. The news of Mira’s birth dispelled those rumors, and Gutfeld returned to the airwaves on January 6, 2025, after a 46-day paternity leave.

During his time away, Gutfeld embraced the chaos of new parenthood with his signature self-deprecation. On his first episode back on Gutfeld!, he admitted to binge-watching shows by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, joking that he had “done nothing productive” during his leave. He candidly shared that Elena had taken on the bulk of parenting duties, as he was “terrible at everything.” Gutfeld even claimed he hadn’t changed a single diaper, humorously insisting he was “never around” when Mira needed one. Despite the jokes, his pride in his daughter and admiration for his wife were evident, endearing him further to his audience.

The Gutfeld household also includes their French Bulldog, Gus, who has been a beloved part of the family for years. Gutfeld noted that Gus was struggling emotionally with the arrival of Mira, no longer being the center of attention—a relatable challenge for many pet owners. On Instagram, Gutfeld shared a festive post of Gus in December 2024, captioning it, “Upstate sick as a dog. Not this dog. He’s doing fine,” hinting at his own health struggles but keeping the tone light. Fans responded with their own stories of pets adjusting to new siblings, creating a sense of community around the Gutfeld family’s journey.

Elena Moussa, a fashion stylist with a global portfolio, has largely kept Mira out of the public eye, reflecting the couple’s preference for privacy. In March 2025, she shared a rare Instagram selfie with Mira, whose face was partially hidden, captioned simply “Love” with heart emojis. The photo showed Elena cradling her daughter while Gus tried to get acquainted with his new sibling, radiating what fans described as a “new mommy glow.” The post highlighted Elena’s chic style, even as a new mother, and her deep affection for her family. To prepare for their growing family, Gutfeld and Moussa purchased a $10.5 million loft in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood in July 2024, complete with a space already set up as a child’s bedroom—perfect for Mira. They also own a lake house in South Salem, New York, offering a peaceful retreat from city life.

While there have been whispers of a second baby and an early birthday party featuring the entire cast of The Five—along with a special character who surprised everyone—no such event has been documented. Gutfeld’s focus has been on his first child, Mira, and his professional commitments, including his work on The Five, where he shares the table with Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, Jessica Tarlov, and rotating co-hosts like Jeanine Pirro and Harold Ford Jr. The show, Fox News’ highest-rated program, averages 3 million viewers daily and is known for its lively debates on current events, often infused with Gutfeld’s contrarian perspective and humor. The camaraderie among the cast is evident, with Perino’s warm announcement of Mira’s birth and Watters’ playful banter with Gutfeld showcasing their close bond.

Gutfeld’s other professional endeavor, Gutfeld!, has solidified his status as a late-night powerhouse. The show, which moved to a 10 P.M. ET slot in July 2023, averaged 2.5 million viewers nightly in 2024, making it the most-watched late-night program in the United States, surpassing CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, and NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The show’s mix of political satire, comedy, and discussion, often featuring panelists like Kat Timpf, Tyrus, and Tom Shillue, has resonated with audiences seeking an alternative to traditional late-night fare.

Beyond his television work, Gutfeld has been engaging with fans through his Gutfeld Live 2025 tour, which kicked off on March 15, 2025, in Fishers, Indiana, and will visit 12 cities across the United States, concluding in Sugar Land, Texas, on October 5. Joined by comedian Tom Shillue and a surprise guest at each stop, Gutfeld promises “an unforgettable evening of laughs, tears, insight, and surprises.” The tour includes stops in Jacksonville, Florida (May 18), Grand Rapids, Michigan (June 7), and Allentown, Pennsylvania (September 20), offering fans a chance to experience his humor in person. Ticket information is available on his official website, ggutfeld.com, where fans can also sign up for email alerts about events in their city.

Gutfeld’s live shows follow a successful 2024 tour, where he performed alongside Shillue and other comedians like Jamie Lissow and Joe Machi. Reviews from past events praised the show’s entertainment value, with attendees noting the good sound quality and smooth entry/exit processes, though some mentioned limited snack options at venues. A fan review from Fishers, Indiana, described the show as “comedy on fire,” highlighting the chemistry between Gutfeld and his guests. The 2025 tour promises to deliver more of the same, with Gutfeld tackling current issues without the constraints of “pesky government censors,” as described on his website.

As an author, Gutfeld has also made his mark, with ten books to his name, six of which are New York Times bestsellers. His latest, The King of Late Night, is a tongue-in-cheek essay collection that blends memoir and political manifesto, offering insights into his journey to becoming the “King of Late Night.” The book tour aligns with his live shows, giving fans a chance to hear never-before-told stories about his upbringing, early career, and battles with the liberal media.

While a second baby and an early birthday party with the cast of The Five and a special character remain unconfirmed, Gutfeld’s journey as a father to Mira and his close relationship with his Fox News colleagues are worth celebrating. His ability to balance a high-profile career with the joys and challenges of parenthood has resonated with fans, who continue to support him on air, on tour, and through social media. As Gutfeld navigates this new chapter, his humor, resilience, and family values shine through, making him a beloved figure in both media and family circles.
