Those wondering why Greg Gutfeld hasn’t been seen on Fox News for the last few weeks finally have their answer: Gutfeld’s been taking some off to bond with his newborn baby daughter.

Gutfeld! viewers had been left wondering where the host was, with some wondering if he’d quietly exited Fox News Channel. On yesterday’s The Five (sans Gutfeld), Gutfeld’s cohosts cleared things up. Dana Perino announced that Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, have welcomed a baby girl. The child, whom they revealed is named Mira, is the couple’s first.

Later on Gutfeld!, the show’s late-night panelists also shared the news, and weighed in with baby advice for the 60-year-old first-time dad.

“America has been wondering where Greg has been,” guest host (and regular panelist) Kat Timpf said. “Well, the mystery’s been solved.”

Both shows shared a statement from Gutfeld, who joked that “Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs. We have been hard at work teaching her three languages and putting her through a rigorous workout routine.”

The host later posted a message to his fans directly on Twitter/X, writing “see, that’s how you keep a secret. thanks to all the nice words!  see ya in a few!”

Apparently Gutfeld means weeks, not days when he says “a few.” The Wall Street Journal‘s Joe Flint reports that the Fox host will remain on paternity leave until the new year.

Gutfeld has a busy 2025 ahead. In addition to being a new dad and his regular hosting duties on Gutfeld! and The Five, he’s lined up a dozen tour dates across the country.
