Greg Gutfeld extended a heartfelt message of support to Kat Timpf on air yesterday, following the news that the regular Gutfeld! panelist was diagnosed with cancer just fifteen hours before giving birth.
“Our love goes out to you, Kat,” Gutfeld told his colleague on a broadcast of his other Fox News Channel show, The Five.
Those well wishes came after Gutfeld delivered the update on Timpf to viewers who may have not seen her announcement yesterday. “Last week, Kat Timpf gave birth to an adorable baby boy, but part of that came with some interesting news,” Gutfeld said during The Five’s closing segment, ‘One More Thing.’
“About fifteen hours before she went into labor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. So in what was going to be one of the most beautiful moments of her life, she got some interesting news,” he said. “But the good news is it’s Stage 0, so they’re confident that it hasn’t spread, and that with quick and healthy treatment she’s going to be back to work.”
Gutfeld added that Timpf will “be back in probably a few months.”
While Timpf originally planned on an absence for maternity leave, she’ll now also be pursuing treatment, which she says was caught at a very early stage. In her announcement, she shared that her doctor is recommending a double mastectomy “as soon as possible.” “These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated,” Timpf wrote yesterday.
“She’s a tough little bugger,” Gutfeld said of Timpf yesterday.
“She is,” echoed his The Five co-host Dana Perino. “And she’s going to come back and torture you, and I can’t wait for it.”
Gutfeld later shared a similar message later on Gutfeld!, adding “the good news is that if she hadn’t been pregnant, she wouldn’t have ever have known and she’s catching this cancer very early.”
In a heartfelt segment on Fox News, host Greg Gutfeld recently shared an emotional update regarding his colleague Kat Timpf, who has been navigating a challenging personal journey.
Timpf, a regular panelist on Gutfeld’s show, welcomed her first child, a baby boy, just hours after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. Gutfeld’s message of support resonated with viewers, highlighting the strength and resilience of Timpf during this tumultuous time.
During the broadcast of “The Five,” Gutfeld took a moment to address Timpf’s situation, expressing his love and support for her. “Our love goes out to you, Kat,” he said, acknowledging the gravity of her recent health news.
He explained that Timpf’s diagnosis came as a shock, occurring approximately fifteen hours before she went into labor. “So in what was going to be one of the most beautiful moments of her life, she got some devastating news,” Gutfeld remarked, emphasizing the emotional weight of the situation.
Despite the daunting circumstances, Gutfeld provided a glimmer of hope regarding Timpf’s health.
He revealed that her breast cancer was diagnosed at Stage 0, a very early and non-invasive form of the disease. “The good news is it’s Stage 0, so they’re confident that it hasn’t spread, and that with quick and healthy treatment she’s going to be back to work,” he said, affectionately referring to Timpf as a “tough little bugger.” His co-host, Dana Perino, chimed in with encouragement, affirming Timpf’s strength and humor, saying, “She is, and she’s going to come back and torture you, and I can’t wait for it.”
Timpf herself took to social media to share her experience, revealing the whirlwind of emotions she faced during this pivotal moment in her life. In her post, she expressed gratitude for the early detection of her cancer, stating, “I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom.”
Her candidness about the stress of being overdue and the unexpected diagnosis resonated with many, as she humorously recounted her chaotic day leading up to her son’s birth. “It was not a chill day. I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out,” she wrote.
The juxtaposition of joy and fear was palpable in Timpf’s narrative. She described the surreal experience of preparing for motherhood while simultaneously confronting a cancer diagnosis.
“By the middle of the night, I was crawling around on the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby,” she shared, illustrating the intensity of the moment. Timpf’s ability to find humor in the situation, even joking with hospital staff about her birth announcement, showcased her resilience and wit.
As she embarks on her maternity leave, Timpf is taking time to embrace her new role as a mother while also preparing for the next steps in her cancer treatment. She has been advised to undergo a double mastectomy as soon as possible, a decision she is approaching with a positive mindset.
“As I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer), I’m learning to celebrate everything I can,” she wrote, emphasizing her determination to focus on the positives amidst the challenges.
The outpouring of support from fans and colleagues alike has been overwhelming for Timpf, who is now entering a “wildly unexpected chapter” in her life. Her story serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of life and the strength that can emerge in the face of adversity.
As she prepares for the journey ahead, Timpf’s resilience and humor continue to inspire those around her.

On February 25, Timpf, 36, shared the harrowing reality of learning about her stage zero breast cancer diagnosis just hours before birthing her first child, a son with husband Cameron Friscia. The Gutfeld! panelist also revealed she would require a double mastectomy “as soon as possible.”
In an update posted on her Instagram account Thursday, Timpf shared a picture from a hospital bed after the surgery.
“Post-op! They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,” she quipped in the caption below a “censored” image of her socked feet.
In an Instagram Story, Timpf shared a photo of a personalized cake sent to her by fellow Fox News colleague Jessica Tarlov. “Titty free and fabulous!” the sweet treat read.
Timpf’s Fox colleagues continue to offer their support. Greg Gutfeld commented on her latest post, “Can’t wait to have you back.”

Since announcing her cancer diagnosis, Timpf has provided several updates via social media. She’s kept details of her newborn private while publicly detailing her cancer journey.
“This is obviously a really crazy difficult unexpected time,” she said in a video posted February 28. And while she’s been grateful for the support, she’s also been “overwhelmed” with medical advice from her fans.
“Trust me, there’s no one for whom that seems more extreme than me,” she said referring to her doctors’ order for the double mastectomy. “I find it devastating,” she said of the surgery. Timpf then reassured her fans that she is receiving excellent medical care including a “team who is very knowledgable on this.”
“Trust that I’m making the best decision for me and my family,” she continued.
