Greg Gutfeld’s fans have been speculating about his absence, wondering why he has been missing from his usual appearances on both his late-night show and his role on the afternoon talk show. For nearly three weeks, he had stepped away from the spotlight, leaving many curious about the reason behind his disappearance.
On Tuesday, his colleagues finally shared the news that put all speculation to rest. Dana Perino, one of his co-hosts, hinted at the surprising nature of the announcement before revealing the truth. Reading a statement directly from Gutfeld, she shared that he and his wife, Elana, had welcomed a baby girl into their family.
With his usual humor, Gutfeld described his newborn daughter, Mira, as having a powerful set of lungs and being in perfect health. He joked about her inheriting his strong physique and his wife’s beautiful eyes, playfully adding that they were already introducing her to multiple languages and a strict fitness routine. Keeping in line with his signature wit, he even teased that his daughter had already begun questioning whether Jesse wears a toupee, a comment that had his colleagues and fans laughing.
Gutfeld ended his message with a mention of Gus, his beloved French bulldog, saying he now had the task of ensuring the dog didn’t smother the baby with affection. He also thanked everyone for their well wishes while making it clear that he and his family value their privacy.
Following the big reveal on-air, Gutfeld took to social media to acknowledge the reactions, thanking fans for their kind words. His message, filled with his trademark humor, playfully pointed out how well he had kept the news under wraps.
Gutfeld, who has always been known for his sharp political commentary, has kept most details of his personal life away from the public eye. Despite his outspoken nature in the media, his family life has remained largely private, making the announcement of his daughter’s birth all the more unexpected. Fans who had been curious about his absence were quick to celebrate the news, flooding social media with congratulations and support.
This latest milestone comes at a time when Gutfeld has been experiencing a particularly successful year. His late-night show continues to perform well in ratings, cementing his influence in the competitive television landscape. His biggest episode to date aired in September when he hosted then-candidate Donald Trump, a moment that drew significant attention and was seen as one of the most impactful broadcasts of his career.
As he prepares to return to his hosting duties, Gutfeld’s audience is eagerly awaiting his take on this new chapter of his life. While his sharp humor and bold political analysis remain his trademarks, this unexpected addition to his family adds a new dimension to the man who has built a career on delivering some of the most cutting commentary in media.
