The reason behind Greg Gutfeld’s mysterious absence from Fox News has been explained, and fans certainly didn’t see it coming.
Greg, 60, had been absent from Fox News’ The Five for quite some time now, leaving many fans speculating if the long-running network had fired him.
However, the news anchor hasn’t been sacked, but rather something much more shocking – to fans at least- as all was revealed during Tuesday’s episode of Fox News’ The Five.
Greg’s co-host Dana Perino shared a statement from him, announcing that he and his wife of 20 years, Elena Moussa, 42, had welcomed a baby girl.
“This is going to be a great surprise for a lot of you,” Dana began, pointing out: “You might have noticed that our friend Greg Gutfeld hasn’t been here for a couple of weeks, and it’s for a good reason.

“This is a statement that he sent me today. So I’m reading this as if I’m Greg,” she continued before relaying the message to viewers.
“It is with great joy that my wife Elana and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world. Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs.”
Not missing the chance to throw in a dad joke, Greg’s statement continued: “She has Elana’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs. We are hard at work teaching her three languages and putting her through rigorous workout routines.
“She is already very observant and has asked if Jesse wears a toupee. I told her that he definitely wears a wig,” it went on, poking fun at Greg’s other co-star Jesse Watters.

The message concluded, referring to his beloved French Bulldog: “As you can understand, we value our privacy, and we thank everyone for the good wishes. And now I have to go stop Gus from licking her face.”
While the political commentator was showered with many messages from fans wishing him congratulations, others admitted to being stunned by the news.
Taking to X, user @NEJWYO wrote: “Literally the very LAST thing I thought his absence would be about! What a pleasant surprise. I forgive him for being gone now.”
A second viewer @Threasa42471308 echoed: “I never saw that coming. Did you?” as fan @Missypo74379688 replied: “Just heard the news – surprised, but happy for them! Wow!”
Greg and Elena met in London while she was working as a photo editor for a men’s magazine, Maxim. He was the U.K. edition’s editor from 2004 to 2006.
The couple got married in 2004 and relocated to New York City.
