New York, NY – May 17, 2025, 03:04 AM ET – Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and his wife, Elena Moussa, have made their final decision on a school for their 2-year-old daughter, Mira, opting for an affordable environment with notably low tuition. The couple’s choice has surprised fans, given Gutfeld’s high-profile career and financial success, but it reflects their commitment to a grounded upbringing for their child.
Gutfeld, 60, a prominent figure on Gutfeld! and The Five, and Moussa, 42, a former model and entrepreneur, welcomed Mira in December 2022, following the birth of their first daughter. The couple, known for keeping their family life private, recently shared glimpses of their school selection journey on social media, culminating in their announcement early this morning. They selected the Sunshine Community School, a local institution in Brooklyn known for its modest tuition of $5,000 per year—far below the average for private preschools in New York, which often exceed $20,000 annually.
“After months of research and visits, we’ve found the perfect place for Mira,” Gutfeld wrote in a post on X at 03:04 AM ET on May 17, 2025. “Sunshine Community School offers a nurturing environment, diverse community, and a price that doesn’t break the bank. Elena and I want Mira to grow up with real values, not a silver spoon.” Moussa echoed the sentiment, adding, “It’s not about the cost—it’s about the care and the community. We love that Mira will learn alongside kids from all walks of life.”
Sunshine Community School, established in 1995, is a cooperative preschool where parents are encouraged to volunteer, further reducing costs. The school emphasizes hands-on learning, creativity, and inclusivity, with a student body reflecting Brooklyn’s diverse population. “We’re thrilled to welcome Mira and her family,” said school director Lisa Carter. “Greg and Elena were so down-to-earth during their visits—they even helped paint a classroom mural!”
The decision has sparked widespread praise from fans and colleagues alike. The Five co-host Dana Perino commented on Gutfeld’s post, “This is why you’re the best, Greg! Mira’s going to thrive there.” Fans on X lauded the couple’s choice, with one user writing, “Love that Greg Gutfeld picked an affordable school for his daughter—proof you don’t need to spend a fortune for quality education.” Others noted the contrast with celebrity trends, as many high-profile figures opt for elite, expensive institutions.
Gutfeld’s choice aligns with his recent public persona as a devoted father. Earlier this year, he made headlines for gifting Mira a small present daily, a tradition he continues to uphold. Despite his busy schedule, Gutfeld has taken time off to focus on family, with guest hosts filling in for his Fox News slots during the school selection process. Sources close to the couple reveal that Gutfeld and Moussa visited over 10 schools, prioritizing affordability and a supportive environment over prestige.
The couple’s decision comes at a time when education costs are a growing concern for many American families. According to a 2024 report by the National Association of Child Care Resources, preschool tuition in urban areas like New York has risen by 15% over the past five years. By choosing Sunshine Community School, Gutfeld and Moussa are setting an example for accessible education, proving that quality doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag.
As Mira prepares to start her first day in the fall, Gutfeld and Moussa are already planning to get involved, with Gutfeld jokingly promising to “bring some Gutfeld! humor to the parent-teacher meetings.” For now, the couple is savoring their latest milestone as parents, showing that even a television star can prioritize simplicity and community when it comes to his child’s future.
