After a months-long absence, Fox News’ Kat Timpf returned to Gutfeld! and revealed she had secretly battled breast cancer while pregnant with her first child. Timpf, 36, shared the news during a candid segment on the late-night show, telling viewers she is now “boob-free” and “cancer-free.” Known for her dark humor, she joked that risking her life “for some 32As” wasn’t worth it, lightening the mood around her deeply personal journey. Timpf gave birth to a baby boy earlier this year and said despite the challenges, “it was so worth it.” She had learned she had Stage 0 breast cancer just hours before going into labor. In a heartfelt social media post, she called it an “unconventional birth announcement,” sharing how her day began overdue and focused on inducing labor—and ended with a cancer diagnosis and spontaneous labor at home. The next few months, she explained, will be filled with navigating new motherhood while recovering from a double mastectomy.

Despite the circumstances, Timpf maintained her signature wit, joking about putting a tumor ultrasound next to her baby’s on the fridge. She credited hospital staff as “excellent audiences for dark humor” and reflected on the importance of finding light amid chaos. The Fox News community and her fans rallied in support. Colleagues including Greg Gutfeld, Kayleigh McEnany, and Janice Dean offered messages of love and encouragement. Timpf concluded her post by celebrating resilience, motherhood, and the unexpected miracle her son represents.
