Greg Gutfeld, the host of Fox News’ top-rated late-night show Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, has been making headlines not only for his sharp political satire but also for his new role as a father. In December 2024, 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, marked a significant personal milestone for the 60-year-old television personality, who has long kept his private life out of the spotlight. While rumors have circulated about Gutfeld potentially hosting a public meet-and-greet with Mira that would be open to the public and free of charge, no such event has been confirmed. However, Gutfeld’s recent activities and upcoming plans offer plenty for fans to look forward to in 2025.
Mira’s arrival was a joyful moment 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 lighthearted 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,” a nod to his signature humor that has made him a fan favorite. The announcement came after weeks of speculation about Gutfeld’s absence from his shows, with some fans 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 admitted to indulging in a binge-watching spree of shows by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, while Elena took on the bulk of parenting duties. “I’m terrible at everything,” he quipped on his first episode back, adding that he had yet to change a diaper, claiming he was “never around” when Mira needed one. The couple’s French Bulldog, Gus, also had to adjust to the new family dynamic, with Gutfeld noting that Gus was struggling emotionally, no longer being the center of attention. Fans found the update relatable, with many sharing their own stories of pets adapting to new siblings on social media platforms like Instagram, where Gutfeld occasionally posts about his family life.
While there has been buzz about Gutfeld potentially hosting a public meet-and-greet with Mira, open to the public and free of charge, no official announcement has been made to confirm such an event. Gutfeld has historically been private about his family, and it’s likely that any public appearance involving Mira would be carefully considered, given the couple’s preference for keeping her out of the media spotlight. Elena’s rare Instagram post in March 2025, showing a glimpse of Mira with her face partially hidden, underscored their protective stance. Captioned simply “Love” with heart emojis, the photo highlighted Elena’s “new mommy glow” and her chic style, even as a new mother, while keeping Mira’s privacy intact.
Instead of a meet-and-greet, Gutfeld has been focusing on connecting with fans through his professional endeavors, including his Gutfeld Live 2025 tour, which promises “an unforgettable evening of laughs, tears, insight, and surprises.” The tour, which kicks off on March 15, 2025, in Fishers, Indiana, will see Gutfeld visit 12 cities across the United States, concluding in Sugar Land, Texas, on October 5. He’ll be joined by comedian Tom Shillue, a frequent guest on Gutfeld!, and a surprise guest at each stop. The tour includes stops in cities like Jacksonville, Florida (May 18), Grand Rapids, Michigan (June 7), and Allentown, Pennsylvania (September 20), offering fans a chance to see Gutfeld’s signature wit and 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.
The Gutfeld Live 2025 tour follows a successful run of shows in 2024, where Gutfeld performed alongside Shillue and other comedians like Jamie Lissow and Joe Machi. Reviews from past events, such as one in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, 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, highlighted the chemistry between Gutfeld, Shillue, and Lissow, describing the show as “comedy on fire” with political satire backed by facts. 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.
Gutfeld’s career continues to soar, with Gutfeld! averaging 2.5 million viewers nightly in 2024, making it the most-watched late-night show 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, which moved to a 10 P.M. ET slot in July 2023, combines political satire, comedy, and discussion, often featuring panelists like Kat Timpf, Tyrus, and Tom Shillue. Gutfeld also co-hosts The Five, Fox News’ highest-rated program, where he and fellow panelists Dana Perino, Jesse Watters, and Jessica Tarlov discuss current events. His influence in media was recognized by Mediaite, ranking him as the 12th-most influential person in American media in 2021, though he dropped to 23rd in 2023 due to controversial remarks.
Beyond his television and touring commitments, Gutfeld is a prolific author, 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.
For now, Gutfeld’s focus remains on his professional engagements and adjusting to life as a father. While a public meet-and-greet with Mira would undoubtedly delight fans, the lack of an official announcement suggests that Gutfeld and Moussa are prioritizing their daughter’s privacy during these early months. Instead, fans can catch Gutfeld on his 2025 tour, where he’ll bring his trademark humor to stages across the country, or tune into Gutfeld! and The Five to see him in action. As Gutfeld continues to balance fatherhood with his high-profile career, his journey remains a compelling story of humor, resilience, and family.
