On January 6, 2025, Greg Gutfeld, Fox News’ sharp-witted late-night host, returned to *Gutfeld!* after a 46-day hiatus that had fans speculating wildly. At 60, the co-host of *The Five* welcomed his first child, daughter Mira, with his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, in December 2024. This seismic life change has transformed the famously self-centered star, and his emotional reappearance revealed a tender side that left viewers captivated and eager for more.

Gutfeld, whose biting humor has made *Gutfeld!* a ratings juggernaut—drawing 2.5 million viewers last year—kept fans guessing during his absence. Social media swirled with rumors: Was he done at Fox? Exhausted? Dana Perino put the chatter to rest on *The Five*, beaming as she shared news of Mira’s birth: “She’s already stealing the show!” Back on set, Gutfeld blended his trademark wit with unguarded honesty. “I’ve always put myself first,” he confessed, “but Mira’s rewriting the rules.” The audience ate it up, with one fan posting on X, “Greg as a dad is the plot twist we didn’t see coming!”

Parenting at 60 has its challenges. Gutfeld, who married Moussa in 2004 after meeting in Portugal, stayed tight-lipped about the pregnancy until Mira arrived. In a candid chat with *The Sun*, he admitted Elena’s taken the lead with baby duties—“I’m useless at most of it”—while he caught up on *Yellowstone* in their $10.5 million New York home. “It’s humbling, not glamorous,” he said, alluding to late-night feedings and diaper mishaps. Moussa, a stylist, remains his anchor, their 20-year partnership steadying him through the chaos of fame.

The change is striking. Once laser-focused on outpacing rivals like Fallon and Colbert, Gutfeld now grapples with a new reality. “Your world shifts to someone else,” he told his audience, a clear reference to Mira’s influence. Fans have noticed: “He’s still sharp, but there’s a warmth now,” one wrote online. With a Trump inauguration segment set for January 20, Gutfeld’s edge remains—he’s already poking at Biden’s policies—but Mira’s stealing the spotlight. Can fatherhood soften his bite? Doubtful, yet it’s adding a layer that keeps 3 million viewers tuned in nightly.

As he navigates this new chapter, the nation’s watching a star reinvented—not just as a TV titan, but as a father finding his footing. What’s next for Gutfeld? With Mira in the picture, the story’s just beginning.
