Greg Gutfeld delivered a heartfelt message of support to Kat Timpf during live broadcast, following the news that the regular Gutfeld! panelist had been diagnosed with cancer hours before giving birth.
Greg Gutfeld shared a touching message of support for his colleague Kat Timpf during a recent episode of The Five, expressing warm wishes following her recent health news.
“Our love goes out to you, Kat,” Gutfeld said during the broadcast, addressing viewers who may have missed Timpf’s announcement.
He took a moment in the show’s closing segment, “One More Thing,” to update the audience about Timpf’s situation. “Last week, Kat Timpf gave birth to an adorable baby boy, but part of that came with some interesting news,” he explained.
Just hours before she went into labor, Timpf received a breast cancer diagnosis. “About fifteen hours before she went into labor, she was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Gutfeld said. “So in what was going to be one of the most beautiful moments of her life, she got some devastating news.”
Despite the challenging circumstances, there is reassuring news about her condition. Gutfeld noted that it is Stage 0 breast cancer, a very early and non-invasive form, and doctors are optimistic about her prognosis.
“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, she’s a tough little bugger,” Gutfeld said with affection while speaking about Kat Timpf during yesterday’s broadcast.
His The Five co-host, Dana Perino, quickly chimed in with agreement. “She is,” Perino said with a smile. “And she’s going to come back and torture you, and I can’t wait for it.”
Fox News’ Kat Timpf says she was diagnosed with breast cancer hours before giving birth to her son
(Gray News) – Fox News personality Kat Timpf shared that she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before she gave birth to her first child.
The “Gutfeld!” panelist announced the news in a social media post this week that has gone viral with an outpouring of support
“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world,” she wrote. “About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.”
Timpf explained in her post that the cancer was caught early, with her doctor saying it was at “Stage 0″ and “confident it almost certainly hasn’t spread.”
The author and comedian shared that she was already stressed about being more than a week past her due date and focused on delivering a healthy baby before she was informed about the cancer diagnosis.
“It was not a chill day. I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out,” Timpf wrote.
The Fox News contributor said she was told that the best course of action would be to get a double mastectomy as soon as possible.

By later that evening, her son also wanted to make his entrance into the world.
“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.
Timpf gave birth to her son and found time to joke with the nurses about what the birth announcement might look like in such a situation.
“People who work at hospitals make excellent audiences for dark humor,” the comedian wrote. “Should I go with, ‘Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer …‘”
Timpf said she will be on maternity leave now for three months, and things might be a little different than first anticipated.
“As I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer), I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she shared. “I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.”
Timpf thanked everyone for their support as she embraces a “wildly unexpected chapter.”
