For several weeks, viewers of The Five sensed something was off.
Greg Gutfeld—usually a constant presence on the Fox News panel—had vanished without warning. There was no announcement, no sign-off, and no explanation from the network. As days turned into weeks, online speculation intensified. Had Gutfeld quietly left the show? Was something wrong behind the scenes?
When the real reason finally came to light, it caught almost everyone by surprise—and replaced concern with celebration.
At 60 years old, Greg Gutfeld has entered an unexpected and joyful new phase of life. After two decades of marriage, he and his wife, Elena Moussa, have welcomed their first child: a baby girl.
The revelation instantly answered questions about his absence and sparked an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues alike.
The Announcement That Ended the Rumors

The mystery was finally resolved on air when co-host Dana Perino addressed viewers directly. Reading a message Gutfeld had sent her, she shared the news that instantly changed the tone of the conversation.
Speaking on his behalf, Perino relayed his words: he and Elena were thrilled to announce the birth of their daughter, Mira. The baby was healthy, energetic, and—according to Gutfeld’s own humorous description—already making her presence known with “a real set of lungs.”

With that, speculation about his future at Fox News faded away, replaced by applause, smiles, and heartfelt reactions from the audience.
A Private Partner in a Public World
While Greg Gutfeld is one of cable news’ most recognizable personalities, his wife has long preferred a life away from the spotlight. Elena Moussa, 42, has built a successful creative career while remaining largely out of public view.

Originally from Russia, Moussa began her professional life as a photo editor for Maxim Russia. Over time, she transitioned into fashion styling and design, gaining recognition in respected outlets such as L’Officiel, Venice Magazine, and Design Scene.
Her academic journey led her to New York City, where she earned a degree in Fashion and Apparel Design from Parsons School of Design in 2015. Today, she showcases her work through social media, offering glimpses into her artistic vision rather than her personal life.
A Family Touched by Global Events
In recent years, the couple faced a deeply unsettling moment tied to global conflict. When Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, Moussa’s mother was trapped in Lviv as fighting escalated. Forced to shelter in place, her situation became increasingly dangerous.
With assistance from Fox News colleagues, Moussa’s mother was eventually able to escape to Poland, where she was reunited safely with her daughter. The experience marked a rare public acknowledgment of the couple’s personal struggles during a time of international crisis.

Though private, Gutfeld has occasionally shared stories about how his marriage began. During a 2023 appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random Podcast, he described meeting Moussa for the first time while traveling.
According to Gutfeld, the connection was instant. He recalled seeing her and immediately thinking she was “the one.” He spent several days in Portugal working up the courage to speak to her—a moment he now looks back on as life-changing.
Humor, As Always
True to form, Gutfeld didn’t abandon his signature wit when announcing the birth. In his statement, he joked that baby Mira inherited her mother’s striking eyes and his own “rock-solid abs,” adding that she was already being raised multilingual and subjected to “intense workout routines.”
A New Chapter Begins
What started as quiet concern over a missing TV host ended with a deeply personal and joyful revelation. After 20 years together, Greg Gutfeld and Elena Moussa have stepped into parenthood—on their own terms and in their own time.
For viewers, it was a reminder that behind the sharp commentary and late-night punchlines is a man experiencing one of life’s most profound milestones. Sometimes, the biggest stories aren’t the ones debated on screen—but the ones unfolding quietly off camera.
