Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent host of Fox News’ Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, has once again thrown fans for a loop with a bombshell announcement: he’s expecting his second child, just six months after welcoming his first daughter, Mira, in December 2024. At 60 years old, Gutfeld has already defied expectations by embracing fatherhood later in life, but this rapid expansion of his family has sparked a mix of awe, curiosity, and humor among his loyal viewers. Known for his biting political commentary and late-night comedy, Gutfeld is now navigating the unpredictable world of parenthood with not one, but soon two little ones in tow. This surprising news, revealed during a May 1, 2025, taping of Gutfeld!, has set social media ablaze and left everyone wondering how the snarky TV host will juggle his growing family while keeping his top-rated shows on track.
Gutfeld’s journey into fatherhood began late last year when he and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed their first child, Mira, after 20 years of marriage. The couple, who met in 2004 at a Maxim magazine conference in Portugal, had long been open about their decision to remain childless, with Gutfeld once describing himself as “too selfish” for parenthood during a 2015 segment on The Five. Elena, a 42-year-old fashion designer and former model, shared a similar sentiment, emphasizing their preference for a life of career freedom and travel. But Mira’s arrival in December 2024 changed everything, turning the Gutfeld household upside down in the best way possible. Gutfeld took a 46-day paternity leave, returning to Fox News in January 2025 with a new perspective—and a treasure trove of dad jokes. He often gushed about Mira’s “healthy lungs” and her resemblance to Elena’s “beautiful eyes,” while humorously claiming she inherited his “rock-hard abs.”
Fast forward to May 2025, and Gutfeld is once again making headlines as a dad. During a live taping of Gutfeld!, he reportedly held up an ultrasound photo, announcing with his signature smirk, “We said we wouldn’t have kids, but life has a twist—and here’s the next one.” The revelation that Elena is pregnant with their second child, just six months after Mira’s birth, caught everyone off guard, including his co-hosts. The studio audience erupted in a mix of cheers and laughter, while social media platforms lit up with reactions from fans who couldn’t believe the news. Some praised Gutfeld for embracing fatherhood so enthusiastically at 60, while others jokingly speculated that he might be aiming for a “Gutfeld family dynasty” to rival his TV ratings empire.
Gutfeld’s career has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. Born on September 12, 1964, in San Mateo, California, he graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in English before diving into the world of journalism. His early career included stints at Prevention, Men’s Health, and Stuff magazine, where he famously boosted circulation while stirring up controversy—like the time he hired dwarfs to disrupt a magazine conference just for the chaos. Gutfeld joined Fox News in 2007, hosting Red Eye before becoming a co-host on The Five in 2011. His late-night show, Gutfeld!, launched in 2021 and quickly became the highest-rated late-night talk show in the U.S., averaging 2.5 million viewers nightly and surpassing giants like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. On top of that, his new Fox Nation game show, What Did I Miss?, premiered on May 12, 2025, adding another feather to his already crowded cap.
Despite his demanding career, Gutfeld has fully embraced his role as a dad. When Mira was born, he and Elena moved into a $10.5 million loft in New York’s upscale SoHo neighborhood, a spacious 3,560-square-foot home with plenty of room for their growing family. The couple also owns a lake house in South Salem, New York, where they escape for some downtime. Gutfeld has been candid about the challenges of fatherhood, admitting on The Five that he’s “terrible at everything” when it comes to baby duties, leaving most of the hands-on work to Elena. He’s shared funny anecdotes about his clumsiness, like struggling to assemble Mira’s crib and accidentally leaving his Zoom camera on during a diaper change while on a call with his producers. But beneath the humor, there’s a genuine warmth in the way he talks about Mira, often describing her giggles as the highlight of his day.
The news of a second child so soon after Mira’s birth has raised eyebrows, but it also highlights the couple’s commitment to their new family dynamic. Gutfeld and Elena have kept much of their personal life private, rarely sharing photos of Mira on social media. However, Elena did post a rare glimpse of their daughter on Valentine’s Day 2025, showing Mira in a gray knitted outfit while cuddling with her mom. The couple’s French bulldog, Gus, has also been a big part of their family narrative, though Gutfeld has admitted that Gus has struggled with the arrival of Mira, resorting to “ritual pees” around the house to mark his territory. Fans are now wondering how Gus will handle yet another new sibling—and how Gutfeld will manage the chaos of two kids under two.
On air, Gutfeld’s co-hosts have been relentless in their teasing. During a recent episode of The Five, Jesse Watters quipped, “Greg, you’re 60! Are you starting a daycare or a family?” Dana Perino, always the voice of reason, expressed concern about the timing, asking, “How are you going to handle two babies when you haven’t even changed a diaper yet?” Gutfeld, ever the comedian, fired back, “I’m building a Gutfeld army—one diaper at a time!” His Gutfeld! panelists have also joined in the fun, with Kat Timpf suggesting that the new baby might inspire a sequel to Gutfeld’s bestselling books, perhaps titled How to Be Right… About Nap Time. Tyrus, meanwhile, proposed a wrestling match between Mira and the new baby to “settle the sibling rivalry early.”
Fans have taken to social media to share their reactions, with many expressing admiration for Gutfeld’s energy and enthusiasm. One user posted, “Greg Gutfeld at 60 with two kids under two? That’s the kind of chaos I’m here for!” Another shared a meme of Gutfeld juggling diapers and microphones, captioned, “Late-night host by night, super dad by day!” But not everyone is convinced the news is real. Some skeptics on social media have speculated that the ultrasound reveal might be a publicity stunt, pointing to Gutfeld’s history of trolling his audience for laughs. After all, his show thrives on viral moments, and with What Did I Miss? just premiering, a headline-grabbing announcement would certainly keep him in the spotlight. However, Gutfeld’s genuine excitement during the reveal—coupled with Elena’s recent absence from social media—suggests that the couple is indeed preparing for baby number two.
The timing of this second pregnancy is certainly unconventional, but it’s not unheard of. Medically speaking, it’s possible for couples to conceive again shortly after a birth, though it often comes with added challenges for the mother. Elena, at 42, has been praised by Gutfeld for her resilience during Mira’s birth, which he described as a “nine-month tour of duty” that ended with “exhaustion and hormones.” He’s often called her a “conquering hero” for her strength as a mom, and it’s clear that she’s the backbone of their family. With another baby on the way, the couple will likely rely on their strong partnership to navigate the demands of parenting two young children while balancing their high-profile careers.
For Gutfeld, fatherhood has been a transformative experience. He’s admitted that Mira’s birth erased “60 years of regret,” forcing him to unlearn his selfish tendencies and embrace a new level of selflessness. The arrival of a second child will undoubtedly test that growth even further, but if his track record is any indication, Gutfeld will tackle the challenge with his usual blend of humor and determination. He’s already started joking about the future, teasing on air that he’s teaching Mira to be a “big sister” by bribing her with extra cookies. Fans are eagerly awaiting more updates, with some hoping Gutfeld will share glimpses of his expanding family on social media or perhaps even bring Mira and the new baby on Gutfeld! for a special segment.
As Gutfeld prepares for this next chapter, one thing is certain: his family life is becoming just as entertaining as his TV shows. With Mira barely six months old and another baby on the way, the Gutfeld household is about to get a lot louder—and a lot funnier. Whether he’s delivering a late-night monologue or soothing a crying baby, Gutfeld is proving that he’s up for any challenge, even at 60. Fans can’t wait to see how this snarky dad handles the chaos of two kids, and they’ll be tuning in to find out what hilarious stories he’ll share next.
