Kat Timpf and Greg Gutfeld Share Parenting Tips for the First Month and Reveal Adorable Baby Habits at Home
Fox News stars Kat Timpf and Greg Gutfeld, known for their razor-sharp wit on Gutfeld! and The Five, have embarked on a new adventure: parenthood. Timpf welcomed her son, Theodore James “Theo” Friscia, on February 25, 2025, while Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, celebrated the arrival of their daughter, Mira, in December 2024. In a heartwarming and hilarious segment on Gutfeld! in May 2025, the duo shared their hard-earned parenting tips for surviving the chaotic first month of newborn life and revealed the adorable—and sometimes absurd—habits of their babies at home. Their candid conversation, laced with their signature humor, resonated with fans, who flooded X with praise for the new parents’ relatability and resilience, especially as Timpf navigates her recovery from a double mastectomy following a Stage 0 breast cancer diagnosis.
Surviving the First Month: Parenting Tips from Two Fox News Newbies
Timpf, 36, and Gutfeld, 60, have never shied away from tackling tough topics with humor, and their approach to parenthood is no different. During the Gutfeld! segment, Timpf kicked things off with her first tip: “Embrace the chaos, because there’s no fighting it.” She recounted how Theo’s unpredictable sleep schedule turned her and husband Cameron Friscia into “zombies who communicate in grunts and coffee orders.” Timpf, who gave birth just 15 hours after her cancer diagnosis, emphasized the importance of leaning on a support system. “Find your people—whether it’s your spouse, your mom, or, in my case, the Gutfeld! crew who sent me a cake that said ‘Titty free and fabulous’ after my surgery,” she said, referencing a gift from co-host Jessica Tarlov.
Gutfeld, who returned from paternity leave in January 2025, offered a more tongue-in-cheek tip: “Lower your expectations to rock-bottom, and you’ll never be disappointed.” He admitted to being “terrible at everything” when it comes to parenting, from diaper changes to soothing Mira’s “real set of lungs.” He advised new parents to accept that mistakes are inevitable, sharing a story of accidentally putting Mira’s onesie on backward during a 3 a.m. feeding. “Elena’s the pro—she’s got the patience of a saint,” he said, praising his wife’s knack for calming their daughter. His advice? “Find a partner who’s better at this than you are and just follow their lead.”
Timpf’s second tip was to “find humor in the mess.” She described how her hospital stay, where she juggled newborn care and cancer treatment, taught her to laugh through the chaos. “I was pitching birth announcements to the nurses like, ‘Mom and baby are fine, except Mom’s got a little cancer,’” she said, echoing her February 2025 X post. Gutfeld chimed in with a tip of his own: “Invest in noise-canceling headphones—for your sanity and your neighbors’.” He joked that Mira’s cries could “rival a punk rock concert,” a nod to Timpf’s love for bands like the Misfits, which she attended at Coachella post-recovery.
Adorable Baby Habits That Steal the Show
The highlight of the Gutfeld! segment came when Timpf and Gutfeld shared the quirky habits of Theo and Mira, delighting the audience with glimpses into their home lives. Timpf revealed that Theo has a “sassy side,” often folding his tiny arms and giving what she calls “the stink-eye” when she tries to sing lullabies. “He’s got Tyrus’s attitude already,” she quipped, referencing her Tyrus and Timpf podcast co-host. She described Theo’s obsession with grabbing her glasses during feedings, a habit that’s become a daily battle. “I’m raising a future optometrist or a thief,” she laughed, noting that Theo’s grin—captured in a rare Instagram story—melts her heart every time.
Gutfeld, meanwhile, shared that Mira has developed a “dramatic flair” that he swears she inherited from him. “She does this thing where she pauses mid-cry, looks at you like you’ve betrayed her, then resumes at full volume,” he said, mimicking her expression to roars of laughter from the studio audience. He also revealed Mira’s love for staring at their French bulldog, Gus, who seems equally baffled by her. “Gus and Mira have this stare-down every morning, like they’re negotiating who gets the couch,” Gutfeld said, adding that Elena caught the moment on video, which he plans to save for Mira’s first birthday.
Timpf shared another Theo habit: his fascination with ceiling fans. “He’ll stare at them like they’re the greatest movie ever made,” she said, admitting she and Cameron now call it “Theo’s Netflix.” She also described how Theo’s tiny sneezes—each followed by a surprised squeak—have become her “new favorite sound,” a sentiment that sparked a wave of “aww”s on X, where fans posted, “Kat’s stories about Theo are too cute!” Gutfeld countered with Mira’s “milk-drunk face,” where she zones out after feeding, looking “like she just aced a comedy set.” He admitted to snapping countless photos of the expression, joking, “I’m building a blackmail folder for her teenage years.”
A Bond Forged in Chaos and Camaraderie
The segment underscored the unique bond between Timpf and Gutfeld, who have collaborated since their Red Eye days and now share the joys and challenges of parenthood. Timpf, who returned to TV in May 2025 for What Did I Miss? alongside Gutfeld and Jamie Lissow, credited her co-host for keeping her grounded. “Greg sent me a message after Theo was born that said, ‘You’re tougher than my old bulldog, Gus,’” she recalled, choking up. Gutfeld, in turn, praised Timpf’s resilience, noting, “Kat’s juggling motherhood, cancer recovery, and still roasting me better than I roast myself.”
Their shared experiences have also led to practical exchanges, like Gutfeld recommending a specific brand of swaddle blankets—“They’re like baby burritos, foolproof!”—and Timpf suggesting a white-noise machine to mimic “the chaos of a Fox News green room.” Off-air, the two have leaned on each other, with Timpf and Friscia even temporarily moving into Gutfeld’s Manhattan loft to navigate early parenthood together, a chaotic yet heartwarming arrangement filled with late-night feeds and diaper duty debates.
A Message of Resilience and Joy
Timpf and Gutfeld’s parenting tips and baby stories resonated with fans, who took to X to share their own newborn anecdotes. One user wrote, “Kat and Greg talking about Theo and Mira is the wholesome content I didn’t know I needed!” The segment also highlighted their ability to find humor and hope in challenging times, with Timpf reflecting on her cancer journey: “Theo saved my life by arriving when he did, and laughing with Greg keeps me sane.” Gutfeld echoed her sentiment, saying, “Mira’s taught me that 60 is just a number when you’ve got a kid who runs the house.”
As Timpf prepares to return to Tyrus and Timpf with a modified schedule and Gutfeld juggles his hosting duties with fatherhood, their stories of sleepless nights, quirky baby habits, and mutual support offer a relatable glimpse into their lives. Fans can expect more tales of Theo’s sass and Mira’s dramatics, proving that for these Fox News stars, parenthood is the ultimate comedy show—full of love, chaos, and plenty of laughs.
