Fox News host Greg Gutfeld left fans stunned this week 

when he revealed that he and his wife, Elena Moussa, had welcomed their first child together—a baby girl named Mira. 

The news comes after weeks of speculation and concern from viewers, who noticed his unexplained absence from The Five.

A Surprise Announcement on “The Five”

Gutfeld, 60, who also hosts the late-night show Gutfeld!, made the big reveal in a heartfelt statement read on-air by co-host Dana Perino.

“This is going to be a great surprise for a lot of you,” Perino teased before sharing his message. 

“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.”

The statement confirmed what no one had suspected—Gutfeld and his 42-year-old wife, Moussa, had secretly been expecting their first child.

“It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world,” Gutfeld wrote. “Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs.”

Never one to miss an opportunity for humor, he added, “She has my wife’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.”

Weeks of Speculation Over Gutfeld’s Disappearance

Gutfeld’s unexpected absence from The Five left many viewers puzzled, sparking concern and widespread online discussions about his whereabouts. Some fans feared he had left the network, while others speculated that he was dealing with a personal issue.

By keeping his wife’s pregnancy a secret, Gutfeld managed to surprise even his most dedicated followers. His return to television brought relief to fans and excitement as he embarks on this new chapter of fatherhood.

A Lavish New Home for His Growing Family

While Gutfeld kept the news of his wife’s pregnancy under wraps, recent real estate moves suggest he was quietly preparing for his expanding family. In July 2024, he purchased a luxurious $10.5 million loft in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood, providing the perfect setting for his new life as a dad.

Property records show that the Fox News host secured the high-end property through the same LLC used for his previous New York residence. The 3,560-square-foot condo is housed in a historic six-story building, which recently underwent a luxury renovation by DXA Studio.

The spacious loft features oversized windows, high ceilings, and modern finishes. One of the rooms was already set up as a child’s bedroom, making it an ideal home for the couple and their newborn.

Despite this lavish new purchase, Gutfeld has held onto his previous three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment, which he initially listed for rent at $24,000 a month last fall. The listing was removed within days, suggesting that a new tenant was secured quickly.

An Escape from City Life

When the couple needs a break from city living, they have another retreat waiting. In 2018, Gutfeld and Moussa purchased a serene lake house in South Salem, New York. The contemporary glass-and-wood residence provides a tranquil escape from their busy Manhattan lifestyle.

While Gutfeld occasionally shares glimpses of the lake house on social media, much of his Instagram activity revolves around his beloved French bulldog, Gus.

Gutfeld and Moussa’s Love Story

Gutfeld and Moussa’s relationship has been a whirlwind romance that has stood the test of time. The two met in Portugal while Gutfeld was an editor for Maxim UK and Moussa was working as a photo editor for Maxim Russia.

During an interview on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Gutfeld reflected on their first meeting.

“I met her and I go, ‘Oh, that’s my wife.’ I just knew it,” he shared. “And then I spent three days in Portugal trying to talk to her.”

His persistence paid off, and just five months later, the couple tied the knot in 2004. Now, 20 years later, they have taken on the new adventure of parenthood.

What’s Next for Greg Gutfeld?

Now back on-air, Gutfeld is balancing his career with fatherhood. While he has admitted that his wife has taken on most of the hands-on duties, he is embracing his role as a dad in his own way—offering emotional support and, of course, plenty of humor.

Fans can expect to see more of Gutfeld’s signature wit as he shares his experiences of navigating parenthood. For now, though, the late-night host is adjusting to his new life with baby Mira—and proving that even the most unpredictable news personalities can still pull off a surprise.
