Fox News’ Kat Timpf made a dramatic declaration that left viewers stunned: “It’s all over.” In a raw and emotional update shared on social media, the broadcaster revealed a life-altering twist—just 15 hours before going into labor to welcome her baby boy, she was diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer.
In her trademark blend of dark humor and determination, Timpf detailed how her day took an unexpected turn. “Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym — it’s OVER FOR U BITCHEZ,” she boldly captioned a candid photo taken outside a hospital, clad casually in sweatpants, a hoodie, and sunshades.
The announcement comes on the heels of an unconventional birth story. Timpf, who shared that her baby boy was safely delivered on February 25, described the whirlwind experience as anything but “a chill day.” In her own words, she recalled waking up more-than-a-week-past-due, consumed with the urgency to bring her child into the world—and to face the devastating diagnosis simultaneously.

Doctors recommended immediate action, advising that a double mastectomy would be the best step toward ensuring her long-term health. “I woke up with the dual mission of getting both the baby and the cancer out,” Timpf confessed. Despite the gravity of her situation, her unwavering humor and strength shone through. “I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she added, crediting her newborn with perhaps even saving her life.
The post struck a deep chord online. Fans flooded the comments with messages of support and admiration, celebrating her courage and candidness. Fellow Fox News personalities joined in the chorus of encouragement, with one remarking, “You’re kicking ass, Kat!” while another playfully applauded her unique choice of attire and spirit.
Now, as she embarks on the journey of both new motherhood and a tough battle with cancer, Timpf’s message is clear: resilience, humor, and hope can light even the darkest days. With a steadfast commitment to her recovery and a clear plan ahead, she stands as a beacon of strength—ready to overcome this challenge for the sake of her son and her future.
