Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, known for his sharp wit and satirical take on current events, has taken on a new role that’s surprising even his most loyal fans: a parenting coach. On June 4, 2025, Gutfeld announced the launch of his parenting class, aptly named *Parenting Gutfeld Style*, aimed at helping new parents navigate the chaos of raising children with a blend of humor, practicality, and what he calls “unconventional wisdom.” The announcement came during a lively segment on *The Five*, where Gutfeld, now a father of two, shared his journey into parenthood and his desire to help others find joy in the often overwhelming world of parenting.

A New Chapter for Gutfeld

Gutfeld, 60, and his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mira, in December 2024. Just six months later, on June 1, 2025, the couple announced the arrival of their second child, a son named Leo, during a gender reveal party that Gutfeld humorously described as “more chaotic than a *Gutfeld!* monologue.” As a new dad, Gutfeld has been open about the challenges and joys of fatherhood, often weaving anecdotes about diaper changes and sleepless nights into his on-air commentary. But his latest venture takes his parenting journey to a new level, as he aims to share his experiences with other parents through a structured class.

“I’ve been a comedian, a host, and a commentator, but nothing prepared me for fatherhood,” Gutfeld said on *The Five*. “I figured if I can survive hosting a late-night show and raising two kids under two, I might have something to offer other parents. So, welcome to *Parenting Gutfeld Style*—where we laugh, learn, and maybe cry a little, but we do it together.”

What Is *Parenting Gutfeld Style*?

The parenting class, which Gutfeld is hosting in collaboration with a team of child psychologists and family counselors, is designed to be a mix of practical advice, emotional support, and, of course, Gutfeld’s signature humor. The program will be offered both in-person at a Manhattan community center and online, making it accessible to parents across the country. Each session runs for two hours and covers topics like managing tantrums, fostering emotional connection, and maintaining a sense of humor amidst the chaos of parenting.

Gutfeld’s approach draws inspiration from various parenting philosophies, including elements of conscious parenting and peaceful parenting, which emphasize mindfulness and emotional bonding over strict discipline. “I’m not here to tell you to be a helicopter parent or a tiger mom,” Gutfeld explained. “I’m here to help you connect with your kid, set boundaries, and still have a laugh when things go wrong—because they will go wrong.”
“Parenting isn’t about being perfect,” Gutfeld said during the class launch. “It’s about showing up, being present, and knowing when to let your kid fail a little. Plus, a good dad joke can fix almost anything.”

A Blend of Humor and Heart

One of the core principles of *Parenting Gutfeld Style* is the idea of connection over correction. Gutfeld encourages parents to focus on building a strong emotional bond with their children, even in moments of frustration. Drawing from peaceful parenting techniques, he emphasizes the importance of acknowledging a child’s emotions before addressing their behavior. “When Mira throws a tantrum because I won’t let her eat dog food, I don’t yell,” Gutfeld shared. “I get down to her level, tell her I understand she’s upset, and then distract her with a silly face. Works like a charm—most of the time.”

Gutfeld also incorporates mindfulness into his parenting philosophy, a concept borrowed from conscious parenting. He encourages parents to take a step back and reflect on their own emotions before reacting to their child’s behavior. “If I’m stressed because I had a tough day at Fox, I can’t take that out on Mira or Leo,” he said. “I have to check myself first. Parenting is as much about working on yourself as it is about raising your kid.”

But what sets Gutfeld’s class apart is his ability to inject humor into even the most challenging parenting moments. During the first session, he had the room in stitches as he recounted a recent incident where Mira managed to smear mashed peas all over his suit just minutes before a live broadcast. “I went on air looking like I’d been attacked by a vegetable monster,” he laughed. “But that’s parenting—you roll with it, and you laugh, because if you don’t, you’ll cry.”

Practical Tips for Everyday Parenting

Beyond the laughs, *Parenting Gutfeld Style* offers practical strategies that parents can apply in their daily lives. Gutfeld advocates for setting clear boundaries but allowing children the freedom to make mistakes within those limits. “Kids need to fail sometimes,” he said. “If Mira wants to try climbing the couch and falls, I’m not going to stop her—unless she’s about to break her neck. She learns, I comfort her, and we move on.”

The class also emphasizes the importance of one-on-one time with children, even if it’s just 10 to 20 minutes a day. Gutfeld shared how he and Mira have a nightly ritual of reading a book together, a moment that helps them connect after a busy day. “It’s not about the quantity of time—it’s about the quality,” he said. “Those 15 minutes with Mira mean more to her than me being around all day but distracted.”

“Don’t be afraid to be silly with your kids,” Gutfeld advised. “If you can make them laugh, you’ve already won half the battle. The other half is surviving the diaper explosions.”

Fans and Critics React

The launch of *Parenting Gutfeld Style* has generated buzz among Gutfeld’s fanbase, with many praising his down-to-earth approach to parenting. On Instagram, where Gutfeld has over 500,000 followers, fans left comments like, “Greg as a parenting coach? I’m signing up just for the laughs!” and “Love how real you are about fatherhood. Can’t wait to join the class!” Even his co-hosts on *The Five* couldn’t resist chiming in, with Dana Perino joking, “Greg teaching parenting? I hope he includes a lesson on how to survive a toddler’s meltdown on live TV!”

However, not everyone is convinced that Gutfeld is the right person to lead a parenting class. Some critics argue that his lack of formal training in child psychology makes him an unlikely candidate for such a role. “Greg Gutfeld is a comedian, not a parenting expert,” one commenter wrote on X. “I’d rather take advice from someone with credentials.” Gutfeld addressed the criticism head-on, saying, “I’m not pretending to be a psychologist. I’m a dad who’s been through the trenches, and I’ve got a great team of experts backing me up. If I can make parenting a little less scary for someone, I’m happy.”

A Family Man at Heart

At the core of *Parenting Gutfeld Style* is Gutfeld’s genuine love for his family. He and Moussa, who met in 2004 while working for *Maxim*, have built a life together that balances Gutfeld’s demanding career with their growing family. The couple recently moved into a $10.5 million loft in Manhattan’s SoHo district, providing a spacious home for Mira, Leo, and their French Bulldog, Gus. Gutfeld often speaks about how Moussa has been his rock through the ups and downs of parenthood, describing her as “the real MVP of our family.”

As Gutfeld embarks on this new venture, he hopes to inspire other parents to embrace the messiness of raising children while finding joy in the journey. “Parenting is the hardest job I’ve ever had, but it’s also the best,” he said. “If I can help one parent feel less alone, then I’ve done my job.”

With *Parenting Gutfeld Style*, Greg Gutfeld is proving that even a late-night host known for his biting satire can have a soft spot for the chaos and beauty of parenthood. Whether he’s cracking jokes or sharing heartfelt advice, Gutfeld is on a mission to make parenting a little more fun—and a lot less stressful—for families everywhere.
