Fox News host Greg Gutfeld has opened up about life at home with a new baby as he returned to screens for the first time in weeks after spending 46 days settling into his new role as a father at his $10.5 million New York City apartment.

Gutfeld, 60, who appears on two Fox News shows—”The Five” and late night comedy show, “Gutfeld!”—candidly admitted that much of the burden of caring for his newborn daughter has fallen to his wife, Elena Moussa, 42, because he is “terrible at everything.”

The on-air star announced that he and his spouse had welcomed their first child, Mira, together in December, ending weeks of speculation and worry surrounding his seemingly mysterious disappearance from their screens.

At the time, he released a short statement about the birth, saying: “It is with great joy that my wife Elena and I have welcomed a baby girl into the world. Mira is healthy with a real set of lungs.”

He then joked that his baby girl has his wife’s “beautiful eyes” and his “rock-hard abs.

Now, he’s continuing to inject some humor into his portrayal of parenthood, confessing during his Monday appearance on “The Five” that while he wife spent time doing late night feeds and changing diapers at their Manhattan home, he offered “emotional support.”

“I kind of wander around and go, ‘Is everything okay?’” he said when asked by co-host Dana Perino whether he was helping with “the 2 a.m. feeds.”

“I give emotional support, but you know, Elena is kind of, like, pretty hands-on and keeps me away from it. She said to me that I’m terrible at everything, like, she says, I’m very clumsy.”

Gutfeld’s co-host Jesse Watters then questioned what he had been doing during the 46 days of paternity leave that he took, prompting the new dad to confess that he had “watched everything [“Yellowstone” creator] Taylor Sheridan has ever put out.”

However, the TV star did do one key thing to prepare for his expanded family: acquiring a stunning new home where he and Moussa can raise their child.

Property records reveal that the TV host purchased a $10.5 million loft in the upscale neighborhood of SoHo in July, making the deal via the same LLC that he used in the purchase of his former New York home.

Located in a 1900s-era, six-story building, which recently underwent a luxury conversion by architect DXA Studio. The condo offers 3,560 square feet of living space.

The unit previously changed hands in 2021 for $8,550,000—and its listing photos reveal a sweet space already set up to serve as a child’s bedroom.

Despite snapping up a stunning new abode, Gutfeld appears to have retained his former New York residence, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment just a stone’s throw from his new dwelling.

Rather than put that home on the market, he instead chose to list it for rent for a whopping $24,000 a month back in September—with the listing coming down just days later, suggesting it had already found a new tenant.

That property spanned 2,200 square feet—meaning that his new home offers more than 1,000 square feet in additional living space, ideal for all of the baby items Gutfeld and Moussa will no doubt be using these days.

And should they wish to escape life in the city, the couple can escape to upstate New York’s South Salem area, where Gutfeld purchased a lake house in 2018.

Occasionally, the popular host will share an image of the contemporary wood-and-glass build on social media, although the majority of his Instagram posts focus on the couple’s beloved French bulldog, Gus.

Gutfeld and Moussa, who married in 2004, met in Portugal while he was an editor at Maxim UK and she was a photo editor for Maxim Russia.

Speaking to Bill Maher on the “Club Random” podcast, Gutfeld recalled their first meeting.

He knew from the start that the two of them were destined to end up together, he said.

“I met her and I go, ‘Oh, that’s my wife.’ I just knew it,” he said. “And then I spent three days in Portugal trying to talk to her.”

Clearly, he was successful because the pair were married just five months later.
