Greg Gutfeld Welcomes First Child at 60: Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and More Celebrate the New Dad!
At 60, Greg Gutfeld, the sharp-witted host of Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five on Fox News, has embarked on a new adventure: fatherhood. In December 2024, Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed their first child, a daughter named Mira, marking a significant milestone in their 20-year marriage. The announcement, which explained Gutfeld’s weeks-long absence from his shows, sparked an outpouring of warm congratulations from friends, colleagues, and fans, including prominent figures like Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity. How has Gutfeld adapted to parenthood at this stage, and what makes this moment so special for the Fox News star and his supporters?
A Surprise Announcement
Gutfeld’s absence from The Five and Gutfeld! in early December 2024 puzzled viewers, with some speculating about his status at Fox News. On December 10, 2024, his co-host Dana Perino put rumors to rest, reading a statement from Gutfeld on The Five: “It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world. Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.” The statement, laced with Gutfeld’s signature humor, also poked fun at co-host Jesse Watters, joking that Mira had already asked if Watters wears a toupee. The announcement was met with cheers from the studio audience and a wave of excitement online.
Gutfeld, born September 12, 1964, returned to Fox News on January 6, 2025, after 46 days of paternity leave, sharing candid reflections on fatherhood. In a monologue on Gutfeld!, he quipped, “When my wife told me she was pregnant, mine was the first diaper she had to change,” acknowledging the challenges of parenting at 60. He and Elena, 42, a Russian-born fashion stylist whom he married in 2004, had kept the pregnancy private, a testament to their preference for a low-key personal life despite Gutfeld’s public persona.
Congratulations from Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity
The news of Mira’s birth prompted heartfelt congratulations from Gutfeld’s Fox News colleagues and friends, including Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, both of whom have long histories with Gutfeld. Carlson, a former Fox News host who appeared as a frequent guest on Gutfeld’s Red Eye from 2007 to 2015, sent a warm message, according to a source cited by Us Weekly. “Tucker called Greg to congratulate him and Elena, saying it’s never too late to experience the joy of being a dad,” the source said. Carlson, a father of four, reportedly shared lighthearted advice about navigating sleepless nights, a nod to his own parenting experiences.
Sean Hannity, host of Hannity and a colleague of Gutfeld’s since his Fox News debut in 2007, also extended his congratulations. Hannity, who has two children, posted on X, “Big congrats to @greggutfeld and Elena on their baby girl! Greg’s gonna be a great dad, even if he’s already joking about diaper duty.” The post, shared on December 11, 2024, garnered thousands of likes, with fans echoing Hannity’s sentiment. Hannity’s warm words reflected the camaraderie among Fox News hosts, many of whom have celebrated personal milestones together.
Other colleagues, including The Five co-hosts Dana Perino and Jesse Watters, joined the celebration. Perino, who announced Mira’s birth on air, gifted Gutfeld a Misf
