Greg Gutfeld, known for his sharp wit and bold commentary on his late-night Fox News talk show, recently opened up about a major life shift: becoming a father at the age of 60.
In a candid personal essay for Fox News, the host shared how his journey into parenthood has forced him to reevaluate the self-focused lifestyle he had long embraced.
Reflecting on his past, Gutfeld described himself as having “mastered the art of being selfish,” a mindset he credited with playing a significant role in his professional success. However, he acknowledged that this approach is no longer sustainable now that he’s responsible for someone else.
“So becoming a parent at my age is forcing me to learn things many of you learned in your 20s, 30s and 40s – that you have to think about someone else. And for me, that’s tough,” he admitted.
The birth of his daughter Mira, whom he shares with wife Elena Moussa, 42, in December, has transformed his world. Gutfeld noted that their home life has undergone a complete change since Mira’s arrival.
Despite the challenges of becoming a first-time parent later in life, he expressed a deep sense of purpose and acceptance. “Once you have a kid, you can’t regret anything you did before that because to change the past would erase the possibility of that child,” he wrote.”
Gutfeld’s honest reflections highlight the emotional and practical adjustments that come with late-in-life parenthood, a topic rarely explored by public figures with his level of openness.
In July 2024, Greg Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, made a big move—both literally and symbolically—when they purchased a $10.5 million loft in SoHo, New York, according to Realtor.com.
In his recent essay, Gutfeld expressed deep admiration for his wife’s strength throughout the pregnancy and delivery. He described the experience as a “nine-month tour of duty” saying, “And for that reason, we should treat moms like conquering heroes.”
On an episode of The Five, Gutfeld admitted that fatherhood doesn’t come naturally to him. He described himself as being “terrible at everything. I give emotional support, but Elena is pretty hands-on and keeps me away from it,” he shared.
