At 60, Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent Fox News host of Gutfeld! and The Five, has embraced an unexpected encore: fatherhood. In December 2024, he and his wife, Elena Moussa, welcomed their daughter, Mira, into their bustling New York City life. Renowned for his biting humor and late-night quips, Gutfeld is now determined to become the “funniest dad” Mira could dream of, turning every parenting hiccup into a comedic goldmine. With a mix of self-deprecating laughs and tender moments, his late-in-life adventure is captivating fans and redefining his legacy.

A Late-Life Surprise

Fatherhood wasn’t on Gutfeld’s radar until Elena, 42, surprised him with the news of her pregnancy. Known for a life of late-night shows, book writing, and doting on his French bulldog, Gus, Gutfeld was floored. “I thought my biggest worry at 60 was keeping up with my dog’s snoring, not a baby’s cries,” he quipped on air. The couple, married since 2004 after a whirlwind romance in Portugal, had built a carefree existence—until Mira arrived. Holding her for the first time, Gutfeld felt a rush of emotion. “It’s like someone hit the reset button on my midlife crisis,” he joked, wiping away a tear.

Mastering the Art of Dad Jokes

Gutfeld’s mission to be Mira’s funniest dad is in full swing. He’s ill-equipped for traditional parenting tasks—admitting he once confused baby formula with coffee creamer—but he’s excelling at humor. “I’m not the guy who’ll win ‘Dad of the Year’ for crafts, but I’ll have Mira laughing at my expense,” he said. His preparation includes testing dad jokes on his Gutfeld! audience, like, “Why did the baby bring a ladder? To take her crying to the next level!” The groans from his co-hosts only fuel his resolve.

During his 46-day paternity leave, Gutfeld traded parenting books for binge-watching The Mandalorian, claiming it’s “research on raising a tiny sidekick.” Elena, the family’s anchor, handles the heavy lifting. “She’s the brains; I’m the comic relief,” he said. One night, when Mira’s wails wouldn’t stop, Gutfeld serenaded her with a parody of “Sweet Caroline” about tax deductions, earning a rare quiet moment. “I’ve got a new fan—and she’s too young to critique my lyrics,” he boasted.

A Home Fit for Laughter

To accommodate Mira, Gutfeld and Elena upgraded to a $10.5 million Soho loft in July 2024, complete with space for baby gear and Gus’s kingdom. “I told Elena we need room for Mira’s future comedy stage,” he laughed. The loft’s modern vibe contrasts with the chaos of Gutfeld’s newsroom life, but adjustments abound. Gus, the ousted king, once dragged Mira’s rattle into his bed, prompting Gutfeld to stage a mock “custody battle” on The Five. Fans loved it, flooding X with clips of Gus’s pouty face.

Emotional Milestones and Humor

Beneath the laughs, Gutfeld’s journey carries depth. The loss of his mother just before Mira’s birth left him reflective. “It’s like life handed me a new beginning right after a goodbye,” he shared. This duality fuels his parenting style—blending humor with heart. He’s vowed to shield Mira from his edgier rants, saying, “I’ll save the political roasts for when she’s old enough to vote.” Co-host Dana Perino noted a softer side: “Greg’s still the same provocateur, but Mira’s brought out a new warmth.”

Raising a Comedy Star

Gutfeld’s plans for Mira are ambitious and amusing. He’s plotting family trips to improv shows (age-appropriate, he insists) and drafting a book, The Baby’s Guide to Outsmarting Liberals. Elena nixed it, but Gutfeld’s undeterred. “I’ll teach her to heckle bad sitcoms by preschool,” he declared. A recent diaper disaster during a producer call turned into a live bit: “Mira’s got better comedic timing than my writers!” Fans sent gifts like a “Mini Conservative” bib, embracing his quirky dad era.

Balancing Act Ahead

Professionally, Gutfeld’s thriving with Gutfeld! and a new Fox Nation show, What Did I Miss?. Yet, Mira’s his focus. “At 60, every moment counts,” he said. “I want her to know her dad was a clown who adored her.” Elena keeps the family on track, while Gutfeld revels in the chaos. His advice to late-in-life parents? “Have a kid—it’s the best stand-up material you’ll ever get.”

Why It’s Captivating the Crowd

Gutfeld’s fatherhood at 60 is a tale of laughter, love, and late-life joy. His quest to be Mira’s funniest dad showcases his signature wit, from lullabies about deregulation to dog-baby rivalries. As he juggles TV fame with diaper duty, his journey resonates, proving age is no barrier to a father’s heart—and humor.
