In a heartwarming revelation that has Fox News fans buzzing, Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent host of Gutfeld! and co-host of The Five, announced in April 2025 that he and his wife, Elena Moussa, are preparing for their second child, a son named Leo Alexander, due in late 2025. Following the birth of their daughter, Mira, in December 2024, Gutfeld shared on Gutfeld! that this second arrival will be “even more special,” with the couple brimming with creative ideas to welcome their newest family member. From unique nursery plans to heartfelt gifts, the Gutfelds are pulling out all the stops, blending their trademark humor with deep love. As their careers soar and their $10.5 million New York lifestyle evolves, the anticipation for Leo’s arrival is captivating audiences on X and beyond.
The announcement came during a lively Gutfeld! episode on April 15, 2025, with Gutfeld, 60, fresh off paternity leave for Mira. Flanked by panelists Kat Timpf and Tyrus, he dropped the news with his signature wit: “Elena and I are gearing up for baby number two—Leo Alexander’s coming, and this time, we’re going all out!” He teased, “Mira’s already the boss, Gus the dog’s in therapy, and we’ve got so many ideas to make Leo’s welcome epic.” Timpf, a new mom herself, gasped, “Greg, you’re making parenthood look like a comedy tour!” Tyrus quipped, “Leo’s gonna need a contract to keep up with you.” The moment lit up X, with fans posting, “Gutfeld’s baby #2 plans sound amazing!” and “Leo Alexander’s already stealing the show!”
Gutfeld’s journey into fatherhood has been a transformative saga. Mira’s arrival, announced by The Five co-host Dana Perino on December 10, 2024, stunned fans, given Gutfeld’s private nature and past jests about avoiding kids. “Mira has Elena’s eyes and my abs,” he quipped, sharing tales of diaper mishaps at their $10.5 million SoHo loft, bought in July 2024. Now, just four months later, Leo’s impending arrival has Gutfeld and Elena, 42, dreaming bigger. On Gutfeld!, he shared their vision: “With Mira, we were rookies. For Leo, we’re planning a nursery that’s half spaceship, half comedy club, and a gift that’ll blow his tiny mind.” X users raved, “Greg’s nursery ideas for Leo are next-level!”
Elena, a former model and founder of the Moussa Project, is the creative force behind their plans. Gutfeld described her as “the director of our chaos,” sketching a nursery at their South Salem lake house with a starry ceiling and a mobile of tiny microphones—a nod to Gutfeld’s career. “Elena’s got Pinterest beat,” he said, laughing about her late-night design sessions. He shared a story of Elena teaching Mira to “wave like a queen” while brainstorming Leo’s room, only for their French bulldog Gus to steal a paint swatch. “Gus thinks he’s the interior designer,” Gutfeld joked on The Five. Elena’s also planning a custom quilt with Leo’s name, blending Russian and American motifs, which Gutfeld called “a future heirloom.” Fans on X gushed, “Elena’s making Leo’s nursery magical!”
The couple’s gift ideas for Leo are equally special. Gutfeld revealed on Gutfeld! they’re creating a time capsule to open on Leo’s 18th birthday, filled with mementos: a Gutfeld! script from his first show, a photo of Mira “bossing” Gus, and a letter from Gutfeld and Elena. “We’re writing him promises—to love him, to let him be weird, and to never force him to watch my old Red Eye clips,” Gutfeld said, choking up. Timpf, who gifted a journal for Mira’s birth, suggested adding a tiny leather jacket, joking, “Leo’s gotta rep your punk rock vibe.” Tyrus proposed a wrestling-themed rattle, “for when he fights Mira for the remote.” X posts exploded, with one fan writing, “That time capsule for Leo is so sweet—I’m crying!”
Gutfeld’s career remains a juggernaut amidst the baby buzz. Gutfeld!, averaging 2.7 million viewers in Q1 2025, outpaces late-night rivals, while The Five holds 4.6 million. His Fox Nation series, What Did I Miss?, premiering May 12, 2025, with Timpf and Jamie Lissow, tests contestants on Trump-era headlines, and a 12-city Gutfeld Live 2025 tour kicks off in March. Fox renewed his contract in 2024, with CEO Suzanne Scott lauding his “unique voice.” Yet, fatherhood has shifted his focus. On The Five, he admitted, “I used to chase ratings; now I chase Mira around the loft. Leo’s gonna make it a marathon.” X fans noted his softer side, posting, “Greg’s still king of snark, but Mira and Leo are his real legacy.”
Elena and Gutfeld’s preparations reflect their 21-year marriage, forged in 2004 after meeting at a Maxim conference. Gutfeld, then editor of Maxim UK, pursued Elena, a Maxim Russia photo editor, with handwritten notes. Their SoHo loft, with its 3,300 square feet, is a “baby gear explosion,” per Gutfeld, while their upstate lake house offers a serene escape. Elena’s strength during the 2022 Ukraine crisis, when Gutfeld helped rescue her mother, mirrors her parenting grit. “She’s the star,” Gutfeld said on Gutfeld!, joking, “I’m just the guy who forgets where the diapers are.” Their faith—Gutfeld’s Catholic roots, Elena’s Orthodox background—guides them, with Gutfeld noting, “We’re praying for Leo to sleep through the night.”
Colleagues have rallied around the news. Timpf, who navigated motherhood and cancer in 2025, sent a “Future Comedian” onesie for Leo, saying, “He’ll roast you by kindergarten.” Tyrus gifted a plush microphone, quipping, “Leo’s gotta start practicing.” Perino, on The Five, gushed, “Greg and Elena are making parenthood look fun!” Laura Ingraham posted on X, “Leo’s lucky to have Greg and Elena—congrats!” President-elect Donald Trump, a Fox ally, wrote on Truth Social, “Greg’s family is growing—Leo’s a future star!” The announcement boosted Gutfeld!’s ratings to 3 million viewers, with X posts like, “Greg’s baby #2 plans are why we love him—heart and humor!”
What makes Leo’s arrival “even more special”? Gutfeld’s intentionality. “Mira was a crash course; Leo’s our masterpiece,” he said on The Five. The time capsule, starry nursery, and quilt are love letters to their son, while Mira’s role as big sister—she “already steals my glasses,” Gutfeld noted—adds joy. Their SoHo loft and upstate retreat are ready, though Gutfeld joked, “Gus might demand his own room.” As they juggle Fox duties and tour dates, the Gutfelds’ faith and humor shine. X fans summed it up: “Greg and Elena’s ideas for Leo are pure love. This family’s next chapter is gonna be a riot!” With Mira toddling and Leo on the way, the Gutfelds are proving that parenthood, at any age, is the ultimate adventure.
