One of Fox News’ most polarizing personalities, known for blending libertarian-leaning views with snarky – and sometimes smug – one-liners, showed a softer side off-camera.

Greg Gutfeld, 60, was spotted soaking up the sun on the beaches of Miami on Friday, proudly showing off his dad bod while accompanied by his glamorous wife, stylist Elena Moussa, 43, and their 6-month-old daughter, Mira.

A far cry from his contrarian on-screen persona on The Five and Gutfeld!, the Fox firebrand looked relaxed and content as he lounged in the VIP section of a luxury beachfront hotel with his family in tow.

Under the hotel’s red-and-white striped cabana, the couple doted on baby Mira, who looked beach-ready in a blue striped onesie adorned with red strawberries and a matching blue bucket hat.

Gutfeld kept things casual in a pair of ill-fitting black swim trunks, a black T-shirt, rainbow sandals, a green baseball cap and dark sunglasses, accompanied by an orange tote bag.

Balancing out her husband’s laid-back look, Moussa brought her beachwear A-game with a sleek pinstripe button-down layered over a white bikini, paired with gray Birkenstocks and oversized black shades.

At one point, while his wife and daughter were away, Gutfeld was spotted sneaking a few discreet puffs from his vape.

Gutfeld and Moussa have been together for over 20 years, and late last year welcomed baby Mira.

The journalist met his Russian-born wife in 2004 while on assignment in Portugal for men’s lifestyle magazine Maxim, where he was editor-in-chief of the magazine’s UK edition. At the time, she worked as a photo editor for the magazine’s Russia branch.

They married swiftly, a mere five months after they met. 

Gutfeld’s time at Maxim came to an end after his contract wasn’t renewed, but the couple ventured to New York City together to focus on their careers. 

Moussa herself works as a stylist for various fashion magazines such as Venice Magazine, Design Scene and L’Officiel. Her style sensibility was even praised in The Cut’s 21 best-dressed people at New York Fashion Week in 2015. 

Gutfeld is mostly tight-lipped about their relationship, which aligns with the amount of backlash he’s received over the years for his fearlessness in ruffling feathers through his work as a political commentator. 

But despite his contentious personality, Gutfeld’s ratings on Fox News have continued to soar. His late-night show Gutfeld! delivered its highest-rated quarter in program history with 3.3 million viewers. 

The journalist’s show is so successful that it outperformed staple late-night shows such as NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Late Night with Seth Meyers and even CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert – leading Fox News to announce in January that it had signed Gutfeld to a multi-year contract.

His Russian-born stylist wife went the more fashionable route, wearing a sleek pinstripe button-down layered over a white bikini, paired with gray Birkenstocks and oversized black shades

Gutfeld even went into the cold Atlantic waters at one point. His softer side around his family is a stark contrast to his Libertarian persona on The Five and Gutfeld! where he's known for his ability to remain unfazed while ruffling feathers

His contribution to The Five also hit new heights, making cable news history as the first non-primetime program to be the most watched for 14 consecutive quarters.

But in January, he came under fire for making an ’embarrassing’ comparison between Donald Trump and Nelson Mandela following the president-elect’s ‘hush money’ case sentencing.

He appeared on Fox to discuss Trump’s unconditional discharge for the 34 felony counts of falsifying business records he was convicted of following his trial in May.

Gutfeld likened Trump’s felony conviction to Nelson Mandela’s imprisonment, before rattling off a flawed list of other supposed felons – including Bill Gates, Justin Bieber and Martha Stewart – despite only Stewart and Trump having felony convictions. 

Gutfeld’s political commentary has often sparked backlash, with critics accusing him of frequently crossing the line. 

When he hosted the 3am series Fox News series Red Eye from 2007 to 2015, he once had to apologize to Canada on air in 2009 after he made a joke about the Canadian Armed Forces, which was posted to YouTube three days after four Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. 

The then-Defense Minister Peter MacKay demanded Fox issue an apology, which Gutfeld complied with while also pointing out his show was satirical. 

He was also slammed by the White House in 2023 over his ‘dangerous and extreme lie’ after he claimed some Jewish people survived Nazi camps by being ‘useful’.

The Fox News host’s incendiary comment came during a panel discussion in defense of the controversial new Florida slavery curriculum – also sparking rebukes from the Auschwitz Museum, and mass outrage online as he was branded a ‘scumbag’.
