NEW YORK, NY – We were getting nervous. Greg Gutfeld lives in New York and we were hoping he wasn’t attacked on a subway train or worse, abducted by Iranian space drones.
Greg Gutfeld, the sharp-tongued host of Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” and co-host of “The Five,” has been noticeably absent from his shows recently. Fans speculated about his whereabouts, with some even wondering if he had been fired.
Some even thought maybe Gutfeld went into hiding, after making jokes about his co-star Tyrus in the past few weeks.
However, the real reason behind his absence is far more joyous.
On December 10, 2024, Dana Perino, Gutfeld’s co-host on “The Five,” announced that Greg and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed a baby girl named Mira into the world. Perino shared a statement from Gutfeld, expressing their joy and humorously noting that Mira has “Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.”
Gutfeld, 60, and Moussa, 42, have been married since 2004. Moussa, originally from Russia, works in fashion as a stylist. The couple also has a dog named Gus, who, according to Gutfeld’s statement, is already protective of the new addition to the family.
While Gutfeld takes time off to enjoy fatherhood, his colleagues have stepped in to fill his shoes. Dana Perino, known for her composed demeanor, brought her own flair to “Gutfeld!” during his absence, even playfully teasing her colleagues.
So, for those missing Greg’s witty commentary, rest assured he’s simply on paternity leave, embracing the challenges and joys of new parenthood. He’ll be back soon, likely with a plethora of dad jokes and anecdotes about sleepless nights.
Greg will be taking the rest of the year off, according to sources, to celebrate the birth of his new child.
