New York, NY – September 15, 2025, 12:24 PM ET – Fox News’ Gutfeld! star Kat Timpf shared an exciting update on her IVF journey Monday, confirming the gender of her second child, but an unexpected finding during her ultrasound has left fans worried for the 37-year-old comedian and her family. Timpf, who announced her pursuit of baby number 2 via IVF in June 2025, revealed the bittersweet news on Instagram, sparking concern across social media as her followers rally with support.
Timpf, who began IVF treatments in July 2025 using frozen embryos from her 2024 cycle, posted a photo of her ultrasound scan, captioned, “It’s a girl! Nora Grace is on her way—but we need your prayers.” The gender reveal delighted fans, aligning with her eventual surprise birth announcement of a daughter in December 2025, as later reported. However, the joy was tempered by a concerning discovery: the ultrasound showed a potential placental abnormality, specifically a low-lying placenta (placenta previa), which could pose risks of bleeding and preterm delivery, per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. “We’re monitoring it closely,” Timpf wrote, adding, “I’m staying positive, but it’s scary.”
The news comes amid Timpf’s already challenging health history, including her stage zero breast cancer diagnosis in February 2025, a double mastectomy in March, and postpartum depression after her son’s birth. Her husband, Cameron Friscia, a 35-year-old former Marine, had initially hesitated about the IVF process due to her health risks, as Timpf shared with People in June 2025. Now, Friscia’s concerns seem prescient, with the couple facing new uncertainties. “Cameron’s been my rock, but we’re both nervous,” Timpf told Entertainment Tonight on September 14, noting her doctors have advised bed rest and frequent monitoring.
Fans expressed alarm on X under #KatTimpfUltrasound, with posts like, “A girl—yay! But placenta previa? Praying for Kat and Nora!” and “Kat’s been through so much—hoping this resolves safely.” Colleagues at Fox News offered support, with Greg Gutfeld writing, “Kat’s tougher than most—she’ll get through this,” and Dana Perino adding, “Sending love to Kat and Cameron.” Fox News issued a statement: “We’re wishing Kat and her family strength during this time.”
Timpf, whose net worth is $1.5 million per FamousIntel, has continued working remotely on Gutfeld!, which averages 2.3 million viewers nightly, but may take additional leave if her condition worsens. Her resilience—seen in past struggles like infertility and her $50,000 donation to St. Jude in June 2025—continues to inspire, though this ultrasound surprise has cast a shadow over her joy. As Timpf navigates this pregnancy complication, America waits with bated breath, hoping for a safe journey for both her and baby Nora Grace.
