Kayleigh McEnany, the former White House press secretary and Outnumbered co-host, has been glowing since announcing her third pregnancy on Fox News in March 2025. At 36, the devout Christian and mother of Blake, 5, and Nash, 2, is expecting her third child—a boy named Micah—with husband Sean Gilmartin in June. Her radiant presence has lit up every appearance, but a private baby shower on May 10, hosted by her The Five colleague Dana Perino, became the talk of the town. Surrounded by Fox News stars, McEnany was the picture of joy—until a heartfelt gift from Greg Gutfeld, the irreverent Gutfeld! host, brought her to tears in a moment that touched everyone. What was this gift, and why did it hit so hard? Here’s the story behind the emotional celebration.
The Baby Shower: A Fox Family Affair
The intimate shower, held at Perino’s elegant New York apartment, was a warm gathering of Fox News colleagues and close friends. Perino, 52, fresh off moderating GOP debates and hosting Perino on Politics, played the perfect host despite her own challenges—a recent divorce from Peter McMahon, announced in March 2025, amid his tragic illness. “Dana’s heart is huge,” a guest told People. “She wanted to celebrate Kayleigh’s joy, no matter what she’s going through.” The event, decked out in blue and white decor with baseball-themed touches for Gilmartin’s MLB past, welcomed Outnumbered co-hosts Harris Faulkner and Emily Compagno, The Five’s Jessica Tarlov, and Gutfeld! panelist Kat Timpf, who attended with her newborn son.
McEnany arrived in a flowing blue dress, her pregnancy glow undeniable. “Kayleigh looked like she was floating,” Faulkner shared on X, posting a photo of the group. Guests enjoyed mocktails, a cupcake tower, and a game where Blake and Nash guessed baby names, with Blake insisting on “Micah” to match her mom’s announcement. McEnany, who quoted Jeremiah 1:5 (“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you”) during her March reveal, gave a tearful toast about her faith and family. “Sean, Blake, Nash, and now Micah—they’re my world,” she said, per Fox News. “I’m so grateful for this Fox family, too.”
The Gift That Stole the Show
The gift-giving portion was a highlight, with presents ranging from tiny Mets jerseys to a hand-stitched quilt from Compagno. But it was Gutfeld’s surprise that stopped the room. Known for his sarcastic wit on The Five and Gutfeld!, Gutfeld, 60, and a new father to daughter Mira, born in December 2024, took a rare serious turn. He stepped forward with a small, wrapped box, his usual smirk replaced by a soft smile. “Kayleigh, you’re a force,” he began. “You juggle faith, family, and this crazy job with grace. This is for Micah—and you.”
McEnany opened the box to find a delicate silver bracelet, engraved with “Micah” and a tiny cross, alongside a handwritten note from Gutfeld. The note, read aloud by a teary McEnany, said: “To Micah, from Uncle Greg: Your mom’s a warrior who fights for truth and love. This bracelet’s a reminder—she’ll always have your back, and so will we. P.S. Don’t let her make you a Yankees fan.” The room erupted in laughter and sniffles, with Perino dabbing her eyes. McEnany, overcome, hugged Gutfeld tightly, sobbing, “Greg, you big softie, I can’t believe you did this.”
The bracelet’s significance hit deep. McEnany’s faith, central to her life and pregnancy announcements, was reflected in the cross, while the personal engraving echoed her bold decision to name Micah early, revealed on Outnumbered with blue confetti on May 8. Gutfeld’s note, blending humor with heart, mirrored their The Five dynamic—playful but rooted in respect. “Greg’s not one for mushy stuff,” Tarlov told USA Today. “But he’s been so moved by Kayleigh’s journey, especially after his own baby girl arrived.”
Why It Moved Her to Tears
The gift’s emotional weight stemmed from McEnany’s challenging year. On May 7, she suffered a health scare on Outnumbered, briefly appearing unsteady before cameras cut away. She reassured fans on X: “Thanks to the EMTs and Fox team, I’m doing well.” The scare, though minor, heightened her gratitude for support, making Gutfeld’s gesture—a symbol of her Fox “family”—overwhelming. Her pregnancy, following a 2018 preventative mastectomy due to a BRCA2 mutation, also carried extra meaning. “Every day with this baby feels like a miracle,” she told Fox News Digital in 2023.
Gutfeld’s own fatherhood added depth. After welcoming Mira, he took paternity leave until January 2025, joking on The Five about Mira’s “rock-hard abs.” His note to Micah showed a softer side, likely inspired by his bond with his daughter. “Greg’s a dad now—he gets it,” Compagno said on X. “That bracelet was his way of saying Kayleigh’s not alone.” The The Five crew, including Perino, who announced Gutfeld’s baby news, have a tight-knit history, making the moment a testament to their off-screen bond.
Fan Reactions: A Wave of Love
X exploded with reactions, amplified by clips shared by Fox News. “Kayleigh crying over Gutfeld’s gift? I’m a mess! That bracelet for Micah is so sweet! #Outnumbered,” one user posted. Another wrote, “Greg Gutfeld went from snark to heart-melter. Kayleigh’s Fox family is goals! #BabyMicah.” Fans praised Perino’s hosting, with one saying, “Dana’s going through her own storm, but she threw this shower for Kayleigh. Class act. #TheFive.” The event quelled rumors of McEnany leaving Fox, reinforcing her commitment to Outnumbered.
The shower also highlighted McEnany’s impact. Her openness about her mastectomy and pregnancies has inspired fans, with one X user noting, “Kayleigh’s faith carries her through. Micah’s lucky to have her as mom.” Her May 8 gender reveal, with Blake and Nash swinging bats at a baseball piñata, had already captivated viewers, and the shower gift added another layer to her story.
What’s Next for McEnany?
As McEnany nears her June due date, she’s set to continue on Outnumbered, with plans to return post-maternity leave, as she did after Nash’s birth in 2022. Perino, despite her personal challenges, remains a mentor, while Gutfeld’s gift has sparked talk of him guest-hosting Outnumbered to share more “Uncle Greg” moments. “Kayleigh’s shower was a reminder—family, faith, and friends get you through,” Faulkner posted on X.
The bracelet, now a cherished keepsake, will adorn Micah’s nursery, a symbol of love from McEnany’s Fox crew. As one fan summed up, “Kayleigh’s tears said it all—Gutfeld’s gift was more than a bracelet; it was a promise. Here’s to Micah and this beautiful family! 
#FoxNews.” With her radiant spirit and unwavering faith, McEnany’s journey continues to inspire, and viewers can’t wait to meet baby Micah.
