New York, NY – June 03, 2025, 10:53 PM ET – Fox News’ Gutfeld! star Kat Timpf has exclusively revealed her decision to pursue a second child via in vitro fertilization (IVF), a bold step following the birth of her son in February 2025—however, her husband, Cameron Friscia, wasn’t fully supportive, citing concerns over her recent health struggles, according to a candid interview with People magazine. The 36-year-old comedian, known for her resilience amid adversity, shared her excitement and the family tension, offering a rare glimpse into their personal deliberations.
Timpf, who welcomed her son after a grueling journey with infertility and a stage zero breast cancer diagnosis just hours before labor, announced her intent to undergo IVF again, leveraging frozen embryos from her 2024 treatments. “I want my son to have a sibling—I’ve dreamed of a big family,” Timpf told People on June 03, 2025. Her decision comes despite a double mastectomy in March 2025 and ongoing recovery from postpartum depression, which she’s openly addressed since May 23 on Gutfeld!. The news follows her recent $50,000 donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, showcasing her commitment to children’s welfare.
However, Friscia, a 35-year-old former Marine and investment banker, expressed reservations, rooted in protective concern. “Cameron’s worried about my health—after cancer and surgery, he thinks my body needs a break,” Timpf explained. His hesitation stems from the physical toll of her treatments, including past surgeries for a bowel emergency in 2020 and neck injury in 2017, and the risk of complications during pregnancy post-mastectomy. “He said, ‘I can’t lose you,’” Timpf added, noting their emotional discussions. Despite his support for their son, Friscia fears the IVF process could jeopardize her well-being, a stance softened by Timpf’s determination and medical clearance from her oncologist.
The revelation has sparked varied reactions on X under #KatTimpfIVF, with fans writing, “Kat’s bravery is inspiring—go for it!” and “Cameron’s right to worry—hope they find balance.” Colleagues like Greg Gutfeld posted, “Kat’s a fighter—wishing her and Cam the best,” while Fox News issued a statement: “We support Kat’s personal choices and her health journey.” Timpf, whose net worth is estimated at $1.5 million per FamousIntel, plans to fund the IVF privately, drawing on savings and tour proceeds, with treatments set to begin in July 2025.
Her journey reflects a blend of hope and caution, echoing her 2023 book You Can’t Joke About That, where she finds humor in life’s challenges. As Timpf navigates this next chapter, her husband’s initial reluctance highlights the couple’s deep love, setting the stage for a family decision that could redefine their future, with America watching in support.
