Greg Gutfeld’s Big Return: The Fox News Star Opens Up About Fatherhood at 60
Greg Gutfeld is back on Fox News, but his return wasn’t as smooth as some might think.
After taking time off for paternity leave, the outspoken host of Gutfeld! and panelist on The Five made his highly anticipated comeback. And while he’s known for his sharp wit and unfiltered takes, his latest challenge—fatherhood at 60—has been an experience unlike any other.
A Life-Changing Moment
In December, Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Mira. The announcement came as a surprise to many, with his Five co-host Dana Perino breaking the news to viewers.
“It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world,” Perino read from a statement during the show.
Now, back on air, Gutfeld is opening up about how fatherhood has reshaped his life and tested him in ways he never expected.
The Struggle to Return
Gutfeld’s absence from Fox News left fans wondering about his whereabouts. But behind the scenes, he was adjusting to sleepless nights, diaper changes, and the reality of becoming a first-time father later in life.
During his return monologue, he admitted that the transition hadn’t been easy.
“When my wife told me she was pregnant, mine was the first diaper she had to change,” he joked. But beneath the humor, there was a real shift happening.
He described how years of focusing on his career had made him comfortable with a self-centered lifestyle. “I’ve mastered the art of being selfish,” he said. But fatherhood forced him to put someone else first in a way he never had before.
Balancing Work and Family
Gutfeld’s career has been defined by his unique mix of satire and political commentary. As the host of Gutfeld! and a key member of The Five, he’s built a loyal audience that appreciates his irreverent style.
But could fatherhood change him?
While he insists that his humor and outlook won’t soften, he acknowledges that being a parent brings a new perspective. “It’s not easy, but it’s not earth-shattering either,” he said, reflecting on the challenges of parenting.
His return to Fox News marks a new chapter, not just professionally but personally. Will his late-night show evolve with his new role as a father? Fans will be watching closely.
The Future for Gutfeld
Despite the challenges, Gutfeld remains committed to his work. His return to The Five and Gutfeld! signals that he’s ready to juggle both fatherhood and his high-profile career.
Mira is already making an impact on her dad’s sense of humor. “She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs,” he joked in his announcement.
As he settles back into his usual routine, one thing is clear: Greg Gutfeld’s life has changed forever. But if his past is any indication, he’s more than ready for the challenge.
