A Surprising Announcement Shakes Fox News Fans

In an unexpected twist that has left Fox News fans reeling with excitement and joy, Greg Gutfeld, the sharp-tongued host of Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, revealed a bombshell on April 15, 2025—he and his wife, Elena Moussa, are expecting their second child. This news comes just four months after the birth of their first child, a daughter named Mira, who was born in December 2024. Gutfeld, 60, who has been known for his biting humor and political commentary, shared the happy announcement with his signature wit and charm, sending fans on social media into a frenzy.

During an episode of Gutfeld! that aired shortly after his return from paternity leave, Gutfeld grinned and told his audience, “Elena and I thought one kid was wild, but we’re doubling down—baby number two, Leo Alexander, is on the way!” He joked, “Mira’s already demanding a promotion to big sister, and our dog Gus is plotting a coup.” The announcement was met with laughter from his panel, and the news quickly trended on Twitter, with fans calling him a “legend” and even speculating that baby Leo could one day host Gutfeld!.

A Whirlwind Journey to Fatherhood

Gutfeld’s journey to fatherhood has been nothing short of a whirlwind. Just a few months ago, in December 2024, Gutfeld’s colleagues at The Five made the announcement that he and Elena had welcomed their first child, Mira. The news came as a surprise to many, given Gutfeld’s private nature and his past quips about not being a fan of children. His co-host Dana Perino read a heartfelt statement on air: “It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl, Mira, into the world. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.” Fans were shocked to learn of the baby’s arrival, but Gutfeld’s candidness about fatherhood, along with his humorous insights, quickly won over his audience.

Returning to work in January 2025, Gutfeld shared hilarious and endearing stories about life with Mira in their $10.5 million SoHo loft. He admitted to being “terrible at everything” when it came to parenting, joking that Elena was the “pro” when it came to handling diapers and feeding. Yet despite his clumsy moments, Gutfeld’s love for his new daughter was clear, and fans could see the transformation in him as he embraced his new role as a father.

The Unexpected Announcement of Baby Number Two

Just months after welcoming Mira, Gutfeld shocked fans once again when he announced that he and Elena were expecting their second child. The news came as a surprise to many, especially given that the couple had only just begun to settle into their new life as parents. Gutfeld shared how Elena broke the news to him: “She said, ‘Greg, we’re not done yet,’ and I thought she meant my monologue!” He went on to explain how their SoHo loft, once a quiet space, was now filled with Mira’s toys and the family dog Gus’s chewed slippers. He described it as a “circus” preparing for Leo’s arrival, with Elena already designing a nursery, while Gutfeld was just trying to “not break the crib.”

The couple’s South Salem lake house, purchased in 2018, is also being baby-proofed in preparation for Leo, and Gutfeld joked that their dog Gus now sees the crib as his “throne.” The humor and lightheartedness that Gutfeld brings to his new role as a father have resonated with fans, with many expressing excitement about Leo’s arrival. “Greg’s stories about Elena and Mira are gold—Leo’s gonna make it epic!” one fan posted on social media.

The Dynamic Couple: Gutfeld and Elena Moussa

Greg and Elena’s relationship has been a cornerstone of their family’s story. The two met in Portugal in 2004 while Gutfeld was working as editor of Maxim UK and Elena was a photo editor for Maxim Russia. Gutfeld has often said that he knew Elena was “the one” the moment he saw her. They were married five months later, and their 21-year marriage has weathered the demands of Gutfeld’s career, from his time on Red Eye to his rise as the host of Gutfeld!.

Elena, a former model and founder of the Moussa Project design company, has been the anchor of their family as they balance their professional and personal lives. Gutfeld has called her the “real MVP” for her ability to balance her design work with parenting. The couple’s resilience was on full display during the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war when Gutfeld and his colleagues helped rescue Elena’s mother from Ukraine. As Elena navigates the challenges of motherhood, Gutfeld continues to offer his support and humor.

The Gutfeld Family’s Bold Move Into Parenthood

The Gutfelds’ decision to expand their family at this stage is both surprising and inspiring. Gutfeld, who once described himself as “selfish” in a 2025 essay for Fox News, has reflected on how fatherhood has reshaped his perspective. “You can’t regret the past because it led to your kids,” he wrote. He has shared that Mira’s giggles and Leo’s impending arrival have made him rethink his priorities. “I used to live for ratings; now I live for nap schedules,” Gutfeld quipped during a recent episode of The Five.

His co-host Jesse Watters, who gifted Mira a Misfits onesie, jokingly teased Gutfeld, “Greg, you’re 60 with two kids—you’re gonna need a stunt double!” The humor, however, reveals the challenges Gutfeld faces as a father later in life. Yet, fans have praised him for embracing fatherhood with open arms, with one fan writing on Twitter, “Greg at 60 with a toddler and a newborn? Respect!”

What’s Next for the Gutfeld Family?

Professionally, Gutfeld remains at the top of his game. Gutfeld!’s move to 10 p.m. in 2023 made it the highest-rated late-night show on cable, surpassing Kimmel and Colbert. His Fox News show The Five continues to dominate, and Gutfeld’s new Fox Nation series, What Did I Miss?, premiering in May 2025, promises to bring his satirical edge to the Trump-era headlines. Gutfeld is also embarking on a 12-city Gutfeld Live 2025 tour, though he’s vowed to never miss a bedtime story.

As the Gutfelds prepare for Leo’s arrival, their personal lives are filled with love, laughter, and a sense of humor. Their SoHo loft is bursting with baby gear, and Elena’s plans for Leo’s nursery include a space-themed mural, a nod to his name, which means “lion.” Fans are eagerly following the Gutfeld family’s journey, with many expressing admiration for their ability to balance their chaotic lives while staying grounded in love and faith.

A New Chapter for the Gutfeld Family

The announcement of Greg and Elena’s second child marks a new chapter in the Gutfeld family’s life. From their SoHo loft to their retreat in South Salem, they are building a legacy of love, laughter, and resilience. As they prepare to welcome Leo into the world, their story reminds us that life’s greatest surprises can often be its most rewarding gifts.
