Fox News’ most sarcastic star vanishes for weeks—only to reappear as a DAD?! Here’s how Greg Gutfeld stunned America with the baby bombshell no one saw coming.

Fans of Fox News’ “The Five” were left slack-jawed this week when the real reason behind Greg Gutfeld’s mysterious disappearance was finally revealed—and no, it wasn’t a firing, feud, or a secret sabbatical.

It was… a BABY.

Yes, you read that right.

Greg Gutfeld, 60, and wife Elena Moussa, 42, have officially joined the diaper club, welcoming their first child together: a baby girl named Mira.

And the way the news broke? Classic Gutfeld—chaotic, cheeky, and completely unexpected.

A Fox News Mystery Finally Solved

For weeks, viewers had been scratching their heads.
Where was Gutfeld? Was he fired? Suspended? Off filming a new show? Hiding from cancel culture?

Speculation hit a fever pitch, with some fans convinced he’d been axed quietly by the network.

“He’s too edgy. Did they finally pull the plug?” one Reddit user wrote.

But on Tuesday’s episode of The Five, longtime co-host Dana Perino dropped the truth bomb live on air, reading a statement directly from the man of the hour.

“This is going to be a great surprise for a lot of you,” she teased.
“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.”

Cue the collective gasp.

Greg’s Hilarious, Heartfelt Baby Announcement

Dana then read Greg’s statement word-for-word, in a performance that had fans laughing and crying in equal measure.

“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.”

Naturally, it wouldn’t be Gutfeld without a dose of sarcasm:

“She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock-hard abs.”

He continued, tongue firmly in cheek:

“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 [Watters] wears a toupee. I told her he definitely wears a wig.”

A true Gutfeld-style roast wrapped in a baby blanket.

The statement ended on a hilariously relatable note:

“As you can understand, we value our privacy, and we thank everyone for the good wishes. And now I have to go stop Gus [their French Bulldog] from licking her face.”

Fans Lose Their Minds: ‘Never Saw THAT Coming!’

Social media erupted.

“Literally the very LAST thing I thought his absence would be about! What a pleasant surprise,” wrote @NEJWYO.
“I forgive him for being gone now.”

“Just heard the news — surprised but happy for them! Wow!” added @Missypo74379688.

Others weren’t buying it at first. Some joked that this was another one of Greg’s elaborate pranks.
But it’s real — and viewers are now calling baby Mira “Fox News royalty.”

A Love Story That Began Abroad

Gutfeld’s path to parenthood is decades in the making.
He met Elena Moussa in London back in 2004 while she was working as a photo editor for Maxim Russia and he was the editor of Maxim UK.

“I saw her on the first day of work and asked the editor, ‘Who is that?’” Gutfeld once said.
“And somehow I convinced her to go on a date with me.”

The couple married that same year and eventually relocated to New York City, keeping their relationship largely out of the spotlight for two decades.

Until now.

Behind the Snark, a Softie Dad Emerges

Though Gutfeld plays the role of TV’s ultimate contrarian, fans are now seeing a much softer layer beneath the sarcasm.

“This proves Greg’s been a teddy bear all along,” one viewer joked.

Even his fiercest critics couldn’t help but offer their congratulations.

“I disagree with 90% of what he says, but a baby is always good news. Congrats, Greg!” tweeted one user.

Will baby Mira make an appearance on The Five someday? Will Greg write a parenting memoir?
(“How to Raise a Baby With Abs” sounds like a bestseller waiting to happen.)

What Now for Gutfeld?

Sources at Fox say Gutfeld will return to air in the coming days, but with a flexible schedule — one that makes room for diaper duty, sleepless nights, and baby giggles.

Insiders also say Greg’s daughter has already made a cameo in internal Zoom calls — reportedly sleeping soundly while Greg shouts about the media.

“It’s like a baby balancing a firecracker,” one staffer joked.

The Final Word

In a world where scandals and firings dominate the headlines, Greg Gutfeld delivered a rare twist: good news. Unexpected, unfiltered, and totally on-brand.

He didn’t get canceled.
He didn’t get benched.
He got promoted — to dad.

And with that, late-night’s most unlikely star just became America’s newest family man.

Whether you love him, hate him, or still can’t tell if he’s kidding, one thing’s for sure:
Baby Mira is about to be raised with jokes, jabs, and just maybe… a tiny blazer.
