Kat Timpf Reveals She Was Diagnosed with Breast Cancer Just Before Welcoming Her First Child

In an emotional announcement, Kat Timpf, Fox News personality and regular on The Late Night Show Gutfeld, revealed on Tuesday that she was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly before giving birth to her first child last week. The news came as a shock to many of her fans and colleagues, but Timpf shared her story in a heartfelt social media post that led to an outpouring of support.

Timpf took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news, saying, “Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world about 15 hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.” In her post, she explained that the cancer was caught early, with her doctor confirming that it is stage zero and expressing confidence that it had not spread.

Despite the overwhelming news, Timpf urged her followers not to panic. “As I’ve explained to the few people I’ve managed to tell about it so far, don’t freak out, it’s just like a little bit of cancer,” she said with her signature calmness. At the time of the diagnosis, Timpf was already under significant stress, as she was more than a week past her due date and focused on delivering a healthy baby before learning about the cancer.

Timpf, who is also the author of two books, expressed that her maternity leave over the next three months would be different than initially planned, but she was choosing to embrace the experience. “As I navigate new motherhood, I’m learning to celebrate everything I can,” she said. “Thank you for all your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter.”

Her announcement was met with an outpouring of love and support from her colleagues at Fox News and beyond. Fellow host Greg Gutfeld, who works alongside Timpf on Gutfeld, tweeted, “We’re all here for you, Kat.”

Timpf’s brave and candid sharing of her diagnosis highlights her strength and resilience as she balances new motherhood with her health journey. Fans and well-wishers continue to offer their support as she faces this unexpected chapter in her life.
