Of all the personalities at Fox News, Greg Gutfeld may be the most Fox News-famous.

Gutfeld hosts the popular late-night show “Gutfeld!” – regularly the highest-rated show on late-night TV in terms of total viewers. And he’s a member of “The Five,” the highest-rated show on the highest-rated network on cable television.

In that regard, he may be the most popular person on cable news.

He’s definitely one of the smartest (although Jesse Watters, one of his co-hosts on The Five, gives him some competition). This isn’t so much a criticism as it is brand awareness; Gutfeld is known for this.

What happened to Greg Gutfeld?

Recently, however, Gutfeld has been missing from television. And like every time someone misses a show, people wonder: Was he fired? This happens on local television news and on national television news. But do you really think that in Gutfeld’s case they would hire such a popular figure?

No. Instead, in what apparently came as a surprise to many, the 60-year-old Gutfeld became a father. Dana Perino, another co-host of The Five, made the announcement on the show on Tuesday, December 10th.

“This will be a big surprise to many of you,” Perino said. “You may have noticed that our friend Greg Gutfeld hasn’t been here in a few weeks, and for good reason. This is a statement he sent me today. That’s why I’m reading this as if I were Greg.” .

“‘It was with great joy that my wife Elena and I welcomed a little girl into the world. Mira is healthy and has real lungs. She has Elena’s beautiful eyes and my rock hard abs. We work hard in teaching your three languages ​​and their rigorous training. She’s already very attentive and asked if Jesse was wearing a toupee.'”

This wasn’t a joke about him being sleazy.

How did Gutfeld’s Fox News co-hosts react to his absence?

“The Five” hosts congratulated Gutfeld, also in their own way.

“We’re there in spirit,” Perino said. “Just don’t change diapers.”

Watters added: “We are enjoying the time without you. Take as much time as you want.”

Who is Greg Gutfeld’s wife?

According to People magazine, Gutfeld is married to Elena Moussa, whom he met in Portugal in 2004. They married five months after meeting. She works as a stylist in the fashion industry.

They also have a dog named Gus, who found his way into Gutfeld’s statement, which Perino read.

“As you can understand, we value our privacy and thank everyone for their well wishes,” Gutfeld said in the statement. “And now I have to stop Gus from licking her face.”

Age of Elena Moussa

Elena Moussa, Greg Gutfeld’s wife, is 42 years old.

Is Gutfeld’s wife Russian?
