Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, 60, stunned fans this week when he announced that he and his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, have welcomed a baby daughter together—weeks after he sparked major concern from viewers when he disappeared from the hit show “The Five.”

The longtime TV personality—who also hosts the late-night show “Gutfeld!”—shared the news in a statement on “The Five”: “It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world.

“Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs,” he continued, joking that his baby girl has his wife’s “beautiful eyes” and his “rock-hard abs.”

Gutfeld’s statement put an end to the weekslong speculation over his absence from Fox News, a controversy that his co-host Dana Perino commented on before sharing his message.

“This is going to be a great surprise for a lot of you,” she said. “You might have noticed that our friend Greg Gutfeld hasn’t been here for a couple of weeks, and it’s for a good reason. This is a statement that he sent me today. So I’m reading this as if I’m Greg.”

While Gutfeld kept the news of his wife’s pregnancy hidden from the public, it appears he may well have been preparing to expand his family for several months now—even investing in a plush (and very pricey) new home in Manhattan, NY, in July.Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, 60, stunned fans this week when he announced that he and his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, have welcomed a baby daughter together—weeks after he sparked major concern from viewers when he disappeared from the hit show “The Five.”

Property records reveal that the TV host purchased a $10.5 million loft in the upscale neighborhood of SoHo in July, making the deal via the LLC that he used in the purchase of his former New York home.

Located in a 1900s-era, six-story building, which recently underwent a luxury conversion by architect DXA Studio. The condo offers 3,560 square feet of living space.

The unit previously changed hands in 2021 for $8,550,000.

The pet-friendly building includes a retail space on the ground floor.
