In a shocking and heartfelt revelation that no one saw coming, Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld have confirmed that they once adopted a child together — and that child is no longer a child at all.
He’s now a grown man… and quietly holding an influential role inside Fox News.
During a special anniversary segment honoring Fox News veterans, the pair opened up about their longtime friendship — and then dropped a bombshell:
“There’s something we’ve never shared publicly,” Dana began. “Years ago, Greg and I made a decision — not as co-hosts, but as two people who care deeply.”
Greg added, visibly emotional:
“We adopted a boy who needed a home. We raised him together — quietly, privately. And now, you see him almost every day… you just didn’t know the backstory.”
That boy, now 26, is Ethan Marlowe — a sharp-witted, charismatic producer who’s recently taken on a leading role in shaping the network’s digital content strategy. Known among staff for his creativity and calm leadership, Ethan has quietly climbed the ranks without ever capitalizing on his high-profile connections.
“They didn’t raise me for attention,” Ethan said in a rare on-camera moment. “They raised me to stand on my own.”
Though Dana and Greg never married or had a romantic relationship, sources say their decision to co-parent Ethan stemmed from a shared bond over mentorship, responsibility — and love.
“It wasn’t traditional,” Dana admitted. “But it was exactly what that moment in our lives — and his — needed.”
Fox News executives confirmed the story, praising all three for their integrity and dedication. One insider added,
“This explains so much about Ethan — his poise, his instincts, his heart. Now we know where it came from.”
And fans? They’re floored.
“They didn’t just build careers. They built a life,” one viral comment read.
“And that life is now shaping what millions watch every single day.”
