**Greg Gutfeld Opens Up About Fatherhood at 60: From Self-Professed Selfishness to Diaper Duty and Domestic Life**
Fox News host and political comedian Greg Gutfeld has shared candid reflections on becoming a first-time father at 60, admitting the shift has completely transformed his home—and his mindset.
Known for his irreverent humor on his late-night show *Gutfeld!*, the longtime TV personality acknowledged in a personal essay that he had “mastered the art of being selfish” throughout his career, a trait he believes helped drive his success. But now, he says, it’s time for a change.
“Becoming a parent at my age means I’m learning things most people figured out in their 20s, 30s, or 40s—like putting someone else first. And that’s not easy for me,” he wrote in an essay for Fox News. Still, he emphasized that he holds no regrets: “You can’t wish away your past, because it would mean your child might not exist.”
Gutfeld and his wife of over two decades, Elena Moussa, welcomed their daughter Mira in December. The birth prompted more than just a mindset shift; the couple also moved into a \$10.5 million SoHo loft in July 2024 to accommodate their growing family, according to *Realtor.com*.
Gutfeld praised his wife’s strength throughout the pregnancy, likening it to a “nine-month tour of duty” and calling mothers “conquering heroes.” He admitted he’s not exactly a hands-on dad, joking that his wife often keeps him at a distance because he’s “clumsy” and “terrible at everything.”
“She says I’m basically just emotional support,” Gutfeld quipped on *The Five*. Still, he embraces the chaos of late fatherhood with humor and humility.
Gutfeld’s announcement of Mira’s birth came via a cheeky post on X: “See, that’s how you keep a secret… Thank you all for the nice words! See you in a few!”
The couple, who met during a 2004 business trip to Portugal—he with *Maxim UK* and she with *Maxim Russia*—married five months later. While they’ve kept most of their relationship private, their French bulldog Gus, adopted in 2022, frequently stars on Gutfeld’s social media.
The comedian took a 46-day paternity leave from his show, a rare break from a career that began with editorial stints at *Stuff* and *Maxim*, followed by roles at *Huffington Post* and Fox News. He’s now a mainstay on *The Five* and his own show *Gutfeld!*, known for satirical takes on current events. He’s also a bestselling author, with four of his eight books landing on the *New York Times* list.
Gutfeld’s journey into fatherhood hasn’t only changed his day-to-day life—it’s reshaped his outlook. Despite the chaos and challenges, he’s embraced the role with humor and honesty, striking a relatable chord with parents navigating similar transitions, no matter their age.
