📺 Kat Timpf is officially back on Gutfeld
After stepping away from Gutfeld! for a planned maternity leave earlier this year, Kat Timpf has officially returned to her seat on the Fox News late‑night panel as of Monday, February 20, 2026 — exactly as scheduled.
This marks the end of her six‑week break from the show, during which she left the panel temporarily to focus on family after welcoming her first child.
🧠 What She Was Away For (and Came Back From)
This return follows a period of intense personal milestones and challenges for Timpf:
-
Earlier in 2025, she took maternity leave after giving birth to her son.
-
Remarkably, she revealed she received a breast cancer diagnosis just hours before going into labor — and later underwent a double mastectomy, eventually declaring herself cancer‑free on air.
-
The extended time off coming into 2026 included both maternity leave and time to focus on recovery and family.
Her triumphant return has been met with both warmth from colleagues and supportive coverage, marking an inspiring personal comeback.
