In a rare emotional moment that stunned fans of the famously sarcastic Fox News host, Greg Gutfeld revealed on live television why he and his wife, Elena Moussa, made the surprising decision not to hire a nanny for their newborn daughter.
While many expected the high-profile TV personality to rely on extra help, especially given his demanding schedule, Gutfeld’s explanation caught everyone off guard — and moved countless viewers to tears.
“I didn’t want to miss anything,” Gutfeld said during a touching segment on his show. “After everything we went through to have her… after all the waiting, all the prayers, all the late-night conversations with Elena about ‘what if it never happens’ — I couldn’t hand her off to someone else. Not even for a minute.”
The 60-year-old father shared how becoming a parent later in life gave him a profound sense of perspective — one that changed his priorities completely.
“This might be my only shot,” he continued. “So if it means less sleep, if it means doing diaper changes between commercial breaks, if it means writing scripts with one hand while rocking her with the other — I’ll take it. Because I want her to know her dad was there. Always.”
The moment became instantly viral, with fans flooding social media with messages of support and admiration. Some even shared their own stories of choosing to raise their children without outside help, praising Gutfeld for being so open and vulnerable.
One user wrote, “I never thought I’d cry watching Greg Gutfeld, but that got me. You can feel how much he loves that little girl.”
This emotional revelation comes amid a wave of public interest in Gutfeld’s family life, especially after he introduced his daughter to viewers in a heartfelt segment just weeks prior.
While Greg Gutfeld is best known for his quick wit and sharp political commentary, it’s moments like these that remind viewers there’s a deeply human side beneath the satire — a dad who simply wants to soak in every second with the daughter he never thought he’d have.
And in his own words?
“I’m not missing this. Not for the world.”
