In the high-octane world of late-night television, Kat Timpf and Greg Gutfeld are known for their sharp wit and unfiltered takes on Fox News’ Gutfeld!. But behind the studio lights, these two media mavericks are navigating a different kind of challenge: parenthood. Recently, both Timpf and Gutfeld have opened up about the joys, struggles, and downright chaos of raising their newborns, offering fans a glimpse into their home lives that’s as heartwarming as it is hilarious. From quirky home habits to adorable nicknames for their little ones, here’s the inside scoop on how these Fox News stars are tackling the parenting game.
A Shared Journey into Parenthood
Kat Timpf, 36, welcomed her first child, a baby boy named Felix, in February 2025, just hours after receiving a life-altering breast cancer diagnosis. Greg Gutfeld, 60, and his wife Elena became first-time parents in December 2024 with the arrival of their daughter, Mira. The timing of their new roles as parents has created a unique bond between the Gutfeld! co-stars, culminating in an unconventional living arrangement: Timpf and her husband, Cameron Friscia, moved into Gutfeld’s Manhattan brownstone to navigate the early days of parenthood together. This decision, born out of late-night green room chats about sleepless nights and diaper dilemmas, has turned their home into a lively hub of baby bottles, lullabies, and laughter.
The move wasn’t just about convenience—it was a testament to their friendship and a practical solution to the overwhelming demands of new parenthood. Timpf, known for her libertarian streak and no-nonsense humor, admitted that the idea initially seemed like a joke. But with both couples facing the steep learning curve of raising infants, the arrangement made sense. Gutfeld’s spacious home, complete with a French bulldog named Gus who’s reportedly baffled by the new tiny humans, became the perfect setting for their parenting experiment.
Home Habits That Define Their Days
Life in the Timpf-Gutfeld household is a blend of structure and chaos, with home habits that reflect their personalities. The kitchen has become mission control, featuring whiteboards that track feeding schedules, diaper duties, and nap times. Timpf, ever the comedian, has been known to doodle sarcastic notes on the boards, like “Gus is judging our parenting skills” or “Who forgot to restock the wipes?!” Gutfeld, meanwhile, brings his late-night host energy to the mix, often narrating diaper changes with dramatic flair, as if delivering a monologue to a live audience.
One standout habit is their nightly “lullaby debates.” Both couples have strong opinions on which songs soothe their babies best, leading to playful arguments over whether classic rock or soft jazz is the superior choice. Timpf leans toward ironic picks, like humming punk rock tunes to Felix, while Gutfeld insists Mira responds best to Sinatra. These debates often spill into late-night group chats, with Cameron and Elena weighing in, creating a soundtrack for their shared parenting journey.
Another charming ritual is their “thinking spots.” Timpf has a cozy reading nook in the living room, inherited from her father, where she retreats to jot down column ideas or cuddle with Felix. Gutfeld, a self-professed movie buff, has carved out a corner of the basement for his “dad den,” where he sneaks away to watch films like Challengers or Anora while rocking Mira to sleep. These personal spaces offer brief respites from the whirlwind of parenthood, allowing them to recharge while staying close to their babies.
The household also has a knack for turning mundane tasks into comedic gold. Timpf and Gutfeld have instituted a “diaper derby,” where they race to change diapers the fastest, with Cameron keeping score. Losers are tasked with ordering takeout—a frequent necessity given their sleep-deprived state. This playful competition, paired with their habit of leaving humorous Post-it notes around the house (like “Coffee is life” or “Mira says you’re on bottle duty”), keeps the mood light despite the challenges.
Nicknames That Steal the Show
When it comes to their kids, Timpf and Gutfeld are all about nicknames that pack personality. Felix, Timpf’s son, is affectionately called “The Little Dude” by his mom, a nod to her belief that he’s already cooler than she’ll ever be. She’s also been heard calling him “Captain Chaos” during particularly fussy nights, a name that stuck after he managed to spit up on both her and Gutfeld during a late-night feed. Cameron, a former Army Ranger with a quieter demeanor, prefers “Buddy” for Felix, reflecting his hopes of raising a loyal sidekick.
Gutfeld, true to his theatrical style, has a rotating roster of nicknames for Mira. His favorite is “Mira-cle,” a play on her name and a tribute to the joy she’s brought to his life at 60. He’s also partial to “Tiny Rockstar,” inspired by Mira’s powerful lungs and his dream of her inheriting his love for music. Elena, ever the grounding force, calls her “Sweet Pea,” a simple but tender moniker that contrasts Gutfeld’s flair for the dramatic. The couples often tease each other about their nickname choices, with Timpf joking that “Mira-cle” sounds like a superhero alias, while Gutfeld counters that “Captain Chaos” is destined for a punk band.
The Hard Truths of Parenting
Parenthood hasn’t been all nicknames and lullabies. Timpf’s cancer diagnosis, discovered at Stage 0 just before Felix’s birth, added a layer of complexity to her new role as a mom. After undergoing a double mastectomy in March 2025, she’s been candid about the physical and emotional toll of recovery while caring for an infant. Yet, she credits Felix with saving her life, as her pregnancy led to the early detection of the cancer. Her resilience shines through in her humor, as she jokes about her “new mom bod” and her determination to hit the gym once she’s fully recovered.
Gutfeld, meanwhile, has spoken about the surreal experience of becoming a father at 60. The demands of parenting have tested his stamina, especially with his Gutfeld! schedule and a new Fox Nation game show, What Did I Miss?, set to premiere on May 12, 2025, featuring Timpf as a panelist. He’s admitted to moments of self-doubt, wondering if he can keep up with Mira’s energy. But his love for his daughter, coupled with Elena’s support, has kept him grounded. The shared living arrangement has also been a lifeline, allowing both couples to lean on each other during 3 a.m. feedings and teething tantrums.
A Sitcom-Worthy Life
The Timpf-Gutfeld household has sparked talk of a potential reality show, tentatively dubbed Fox & Family: The Gutfeld-Timpf Diaries. While the idea is mostly a joke, it captures the sitcom-like energy of their daily lives. From Gus the bulldog stealing baby socks to Timpf and Gutfeld bickering over who makes better coffee, their home is a blend of chaos and camaraderie. Fans have eaten up these glimpses into their lives, flooding social media with support and suggestions for more parenting content.
As Timpf prepares to return to Gutfeld! and the new Fox Nation show after her maternity leave, and Gutfeld juggles his hosting duties with dad life, their parenting journey is just beginning. Their home habits—whiteboards, lullaby debates, and diaper derbies—reflect a commitment to finding joy in the messiness of parenthood. And their nicknames, from “The Little Dude” to “Mira-cle,” show the love they pour into their kids, even on the toughest days.
For Timpf and Gutfeld, raising kids is a wild ride, but they’re doing it their way: with humor, heart, and a little bit of chaos. As they navigate this new chapter together, one thing’s clear—their fans can’t get enough of their parenting adventures, and neither can we.
