Greg Gutfeld, the Fox News star known for his sharp commentary on “Gutfeld!” and “The Five,” is also a devoted father to his nearly 1-year-old daughter, Mira. A recent family picnic at Central Park, shared on social media, showcased the heartwarming bond between Greg and Mira, melting the hearts of fans.
A Picnic at Central Park
On a rare weekend off from his TV schedule, Greg Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, took Mira to Central Park for a family picnic. In an Instagram post, Elena shared a series of photos and videos capturing the delightful moments. In one video, Greg is seen lying on a picnic blanket, playing peek-a-boo with Mira, who bursts into giggles and reaches for her dad.
“Mira thinks I’m the world’s best peek-a-boo player, but she hasn’t seen my show to know I’m even worse on TV,” Greg captioned humorously, adding a winking emoji. In the clip, Mira, wearing a tiny hat and a pink outfit, looks adorable as she tries to crawl toward Greg, eager to join the game.
Elena, who organized the picnic, packed a basket with sandwiches, fruit, and a small cookie for Mira. Greg was seen carefully feeding Mira tiny bites, making funny faces to keep her entertained. A particularly sweet moment came when Mira grabbed a grape from Greg’s hand but tossed it onto the grass instead of eating it, prompting laughter from the family.
Father-Daughter Bonding in Simple Moments
The picnic wasn’t just a casual outing but a chance for Greg to show his love for Mira. In another video, Greg pushes Mira in a small stroller around the park, singing a children’s song with a comedic twist. “I’m not sure if I’m singing for Mira or rehearsing for tonight’s show,” Greg joked while sharing the video.
Elena revealed that Greg makes a point to spend weekends with Mira despite his hectic schedule. “He says these moments recharge him after long workdays,” she shared. During the picnic, Greg also brought a children’s picture book and read to Mira, though she seemed more interested in pulling his hair than listening to the story.
These moments highlight a different Greg Gutfeld from his TV persona. Instead of debating politics or delivering biting commentary, he’s a patient father eager to play and care for his daughter. “Mira’s the boss. Whatever she wants, I do,” Greg once said in an interview, making fans chuckle.
Fan Reactions
The picnic post went viral, earning thousands of likes and comments. Fans adored Mira’s cuteness and Greg’s fatherly side. An X user wrote, “Greg Gutfeld may be the funniest host, but he’s also an amazing dad!” Another commented, “Mira’s the star of this picnic. Greg’s just the sidekick!”
Some skeptics suggested Greg was crafting a “perfect dad” image to offset on-air controversies. However, those close to the family insisted these moments are genuine. “Greg loves his time with Mira. It’s not for show,” a friend said.
The Meaning of Family Moments
The Central Park picnic was more than a fun day out; it showed Greg’s commitment to family. On “The Five,” he shared that fatherhood has given him a new perspective. “Mira’s taught me that sometimes, you just need to sit down, eat a grape, and enjoy the moment,” he said, touching his co-hosts.
Greg hopes to create lasting memories for Mira as she grows. “I want her to remember her dad wasn’t just the guy arguing on TV but someone who played peek-a-boo and pushed her stroller,” he said. Moments like the picnic strengthen his bond with Mira while delighting fans.
When asked about Mira, Greg smiled and said, “She’s my light. I can take on the world on TV, but with Mira, I just want to be a good dad.”
