Greg Gutfeld — the sharp-tongued, sarcastic, and often controversial co-host of The Five and host of Gutfeld! on Fox News — is known for his biting humor, contrarian takes, and unapologetic views. But now, at age 60, Gutfeld is facing perhaps his most unexpected and life-changing challenge yet: fatherhood.

In December 2024, Gutfeld and his wife of 20 years, Elena Moussa, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mira. The news shocked fans, not only because Gutfeld had kept the pregnancy out of the public eye, but also because the idea of America’s most sardonic TV host warming bottles at 2 a.m. seemed almost surreal.

“Becoming a dad at 60 is the most absurd and wonderful plot twist of my life,” Gutfeld said during a rare emotional moment on Gutfeld!. “I thought I was too old, too selfish, too… well, me. But then she arrived, and suddenly none of that mattered.”

The usually private couple met in 2004 while working for Maxim magazine. Greg was editor-in-chief of Maxim UK, and Elena was a fashion editor for Maxim Russia. Their whirlwind romance led to marriage within months, and for years, they lived a relatively quiet life outside the spotlight, despite Greg’s growing fame at Fox.

The arrival of baby Mira has changed everything.

In a recent essay, Gutfeld admitted he’s now learning skills many master in their 30s — like changing diapers, surviving on two hours of sleep, and speaking in baby talk. “She cries like a liberal reading my monologue,” he joked, before quickly adding, “but she also has my full attention in a way no one else ever has.”

The shift isn’t just emotional — it’s logistical. In July 2024, the couple purchased a $10.5 million loft in SoHo, New York City, better suited for family life. The stylish, expansive space includes a nursery designed by Elena, who has a background in fashion and design.

Greg’s tough-guy, snarky persona has softened slightly, though his signature humor remains intact. He still skewers politics nightly, but viewers have noticed a new warmth in his tone — a subtle vulnerability that wasn’t there before. In one segment, he admitted, “You know, screaming politicians on the news don’t scare me anymore. You know what does? A baby who skipped her nap.”

Their journey hasn’t been without challenges. During the 2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict, Elena’s mother was trapped in Ukraine. With the help of Fox News’ security team, Greg coordinated her evacuation to Poland. That experience, according to friends, deeply shifted his perspective on family and responsibility.

Now, balancing his two primetime shows with a newborn at home, Gutfeld admits the learning curve is steep. But he’s embracing it all — the late nights, the bottle feedings, the lullabies — with a mix of sarcasm and sincerity. “She’s the only critic I can’t outsmart,” he quipped.

For a man known for confronting the absurdities of politics and culture, fatherhood has become his most personal and profound transformation. And as viewers continue to watch Greg Gutfeld on screen, many are now seeing more than just a pundit — they’re seeing a dad who, despite his age and his edge, has found a new role he never expected to love.
