In a heartwarming and unexpected announcement, Fox News star Greg Gutfeld shared the joyous news of becoming a second-time father at the age of 60. Gutfeld, who welcomed his first child, daughter Mira, just six months ago, took to the airwaves this week after a brief paternity leave to reflect on the experience of fatherhood—and to share the “good news” with his audience.

During his return to Gutfeld! on Monday night, Gutfeld couldn’t resist adding his signature humor to the mix, offering a blend of comedic commentary and heartfelt moments on the transformative experience of parenting.

The Big Announcement

In early December, Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, welcomed their first child, Mira, who has already made a lasting impact on the couple’s lives. Gutfeld’s Fox co-hosts had revealed the happy news during a The Five segment on December 10, but Gutfeld himself had kept mostly quiet, focusing on adjusting to his new role as a father.

“It’s not easy, but it’s not earth-shattering either,” Gutfeld joked about the challenges of parenting, admitting that fatherhood has changed him in ways he hadn’t anticipated.

The 60-year-old late-night host, known for his sharp wit and irreverent sense of humor, reflected on the adjustment, explaining that becoming a parent at his age required him to “unlearn” much of what he had previously mastered—chiefly, selfishness.

“Throughout my life, I’ve mastered the art of being selfish,” Gutfeld admitted, explaining how his career had benefited from putting himself first. However, the arrival of Mira forced him to confront a major shift in his mindset: “You have to think about someone else,” he said, with a tone that mixed humor with an unexpected dose of sincerity.

A Comedy Monologue with Heartfelt Moments

During his monologue, Gutfeld delivered a mix of his usual satire and genuine reflection on fatherhood, a rare glimpse into the softer side of the outspoken television personality. His self-deprecating humor about parenting shone through when he joked about the challenges of diaper duty, even admitting that he was the first one to change Mira’s diaper after his wife told him the news of her pregnancy.

The humor didn’t stop there. Gutfeld playfully referred to Mira’s “rock-hard abs,” a joke he had previously shared when co-host Dana Perino read an announcement about Mira’s birth on The Five. In that statement, Perino added, “We are hard at work teaching her three languages and putting her through rigorous workout routines.” Gutfeld quipped, “She’s already very observant and has asked if Jesse (Waters) wears a toupee. I told her that he definitely wears a wig.”

For many, it’s these lighthearted moments that make Gutfeld’s persona so endearing. Even when discussing the challenges of fatherhood, he manages to bring levity to the conversation while making his experiences relatable to his audience.

Gutfeld’s Marriage to Elena Moussa

Gutfeld’s marriage to Elena Moussa, a fashion stylist originally from Russia, has long been a subject of intrigue for fans. The couple married in 2004 after meeting in Portugal, and their relationship has been a stable pillar in Gutfeld’s life. Moussa, known for her impeccable style and elegance, has been a supportive partner in Gutfeld’s career while maintaining a relatively low profile herself.

Their shared journey into parenthood has only deepened their connection, and Gutfeld’s joy at becoming a father is evident in his remarks. While Gutfeld has enjoyed success in his career, both as the host of Gutfeld! and as a panelist on The Five, the birth of Mira has added a new chapter to his personal story.

The Parenting Experience: A New Role for Gutfeld

For Gutfeld, fatherhood has been a humbling and rewarding experience. “Becoming a parent has forced me to reconsider everything I’ve ever known about myself,” he reflected in one of his more candid moments during the broadcast. The news anchor, known for his brash and bold personality, has been navigating the challenges of sleepless nights, early mornings, and the joy of watching his daughter grow up.

Gutfeld, who has often joked about the chaos of parenthood, took the opportunity to give credit to his wife, Elena, for her incredible support and strength. Raising a daughter together has brought the couple closer, and the arrival of their second child has added another layer of excitement to their growing family.

His candidness about the challenges and joys of fatherhood reflects a broader shift in societal expectations of fatherhood—especially for older men who may face unique challenges in parenting at a later stage of life.
