Greg Gutfeld, the charismatic host of Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, has shared a touching message of support for his colleague and friend Kat Timpf, following her recent breast cancer diagnosis and the birth of her first child. Timpf, a beloved panelist on Gutfeld!, revealed last week that she was diagnosed with Stage 0 breast cancer just 15 hours before giving birth to her baby boy.
During a recent episode of The Five, Gutfeld took a moment to address Timpf’s situation, offering words of encouragement and admiration for her strength. “Our love goes out to you, Kat,” he said, addressing viewers who might have missed her announcement. “She was diagnosed with breast cancer approximately fifteen hours prior to her labor. So she received some heartbreaking news at what was going to be one of the most beautiful times of her life.”
Despite the shocking diagnosis, Gutfeld shared some positive news about Timpf’s prognosis. “The good news is it’s Stage 0, so they’re confident that it hasn’t spread, and that with quick and healthy treatment, she’s going to be back to work,” he said. “She’s a tough little bugger.”
Dana Perino, Gutfeld’s co-host on The Five, echoed his sentiments, adding with a smile, “She is. And I can’t wait for her to return and torment you.”
A Joyful Yet Challenging Time
Timpf’s announcement came as a surprise to many, as she had been open about her pregnancy journey but kept her cancer diagnosis private until after the birth of her son. In her Instagram post, Timpf described the whirlwind of emotions she experienced, from the joy of welcoming her baby to the shock of her diagnosis. “It’s just, like, a little bit of cancer,” she joked, showcasing her trademark humor even in the face of adversity.
Doctors have recommended a double mastectomy as part of her treatment plan, and Timpf is preparing for the road ahead. Despite the challenges, she remains optimistic, crediting her newborn son for giving her strength. “I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she wrote. “I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules—and not just because he might have saved my life.”
A Supportive Fox News Family
Timpf’s colleagues at Fox News have rallied around her, offering their support and well-wishes. Gutfeld’s heartfelt message is just one example of the close-knit bond shared by the Gutfeld! and The Five teams. Known for their camaraderie and banter, the group has shown a more serious and supportive side in light of Timpf’s health news.
“Kat is not just a colleague; she’s family,” Gutfeld said during the broadcast. “We’re all rooting for her and can’t wait to have her back on the show, bringing her unique humor and perspective.”
