Greg Gutfeld couldn’t believe he was about to face one of the toughest decisions of his life: choosing a school for his daughter, Mira. At just six months old, she would soon have to start preschool due to her parents’ busy schedules at Fox News and in the fashion industry. Even more surprising was Gutfeld’s final decision — a modest, down-to-earth school, far removed from what we typically imagine for the children of celebrities: lavish facilities and elite programs designed to shape a child into a member of the upper class.
“NOT WHAT YOU THINK!” GREG GUTFELD STUNS FANS WITH SCHOOL CHOICE FOR BABY MIRA
Why the Fox News firebrand ditched elite institutions for a modest preschool — and what it says about the man behind the headlines.
When Greg Gutfeld isn’t lighting up television screens with his razor-sharp wit and unapologetic commentary, he’s just like any other dad — or is he?
In a shocking twist no one saw coming, the late-night host and conservative provocateur made a parenting decision that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows across the celebrity world. Gutfeld, known for his no-nonsense attitude and high-profile role on The Five and Gutfeld!, has decided to send his six-month-old daughter, Mira, to a humble, no-frills preschool — and not the kind of elite institution most A-listers wouldn’t think twice about.
No designer backpacks, no gold-plated swings, no Mandarin-speaking tutors in sight.
You read that right.
Despite an income bracket that could easily afford private institutions with tuition rivaling Ivy League colleges, Gutfeld chose a neighborhood school that even some middle-class families overlook for being “too plain.”
WHY?
According to an insider close to the family, “Greg wants Mira to grow up grounded. He’s seen what happens when kids get swallowed up by privilege. He wants her to understand real life, not some gilded version of it.”
And while that sentiment might sound noble — even sweet — it has the Hollywood crowd in disbelief.
“This is the same guy who grills liberal elites on national TV every night,” a media insider commented. “And now he’s sending his kid to a school where parents carpool in old minivans? It’s wild. Unexpected. But maybe kind of genius.”
A DIFFERENT KIND OF LESSON
Sources say the decision didn’t come easy. Gutfeld and his wife, fashion industry powerhouse Elena Moussa, toured nearly a dozen schools — some with gourmet chefs, others with digital playgrounds and AI-assisted learning pods.
One school even boasted “baby yoga and toddler cryptocurrency education.”
But none of it sat right with Gutfeld.
“He was disturbed by how disconnected everything felt,” said the source. “These weren’t schools. They were status factories.”
The couple ultimately chose a preschool with mismatched chairs, a playground with real dirt, and a snack policy that includes — gasp — animal crackers.
