Greg Gutfeld has always been the king of satire, taking jabs at culture and politics with his razor-sharp wit. But since the birth of his daughter Mira in December 2024, the Fox News star has added a new—and surprisingly soft—side to his comedic repertoire: fatherhood. And true to form, he’s keeping it hilariously private and quintessentially Gutfeld.

Returning from a 46-day paternity leave on January 6, 2025, Gutfeld couldn’t resist cracking a joke about his new role as a dad. “I’m teaching her three languages,” he joked, a playful nod to his absurdly far-fetched claim of having a baby fluent in multiple tongues. The audience roared with laughter, loving the dad humor that only Gutfeld could deliver. But this was more than just a throwaway joke—Gutfeld’s transformation into a father is subtly shifting his comedy, making his sharp-edged humor even sharper.

Since Mira’s arrival, details about the baby have been nearly nonexistent. Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, have kept their personal lives tightly under wraps. The couple, who’ve been married for over 20 years, prefers privacy, with Gutfeld’s only public acknowledgment of Mira being his “three languages” quip. While the world hasn’t seen baby pictures or heard more about their new $10.5 million Manhattan apartment, the impact of fatherhood on Gutfeld’s humor is undeniable.

In between poking fun at the news, Gutfeld’s fatherly jokes hint at a softer, more introspective side. His “raising her to debate liberals before she can walk” line may be just the beginning. Could his comedy evolve into a bit more family-friendly material as Mira grows up? Or will the king of late-night keep his dad jokes to himself, reserving them for when Mira’s old enough to roll her eyes?

With a career that’s hotter than ever, Gutfeld’s future at Fox News is secure. He continues to dominate the late-night space, pulling in massive ratings for Gutfeld! and The Five, while his multi-year contract extension with Fox Nation promises more content on the way. And while the rumors of his departure were quickly squashed, it’s clear that his career is only going to keep growing, with the possibility of Mira-inspired material down the road.

Gutfeld may not be slowing down anytime soon, but don’t expect him to put his family front and center. His comedy will likely remain razor-sharp, but we may start seeing hints of his fatherhood—whether it’s through dad jokes or humorous takes on family life.

For now, Gutfeld’s keeping it private and thriving. Mira may be his new muse, but one thing’s for sure—she’s not ready for prime time. As Gutfeld himself put it, “I didn’t leave; I just made a smaller version of me.” And that’s all we need to know.
