Fox News star Kat Timpf announces pregnancy after breast cancer battle, her father’s death

Timpf, 37, revealed her growing baby bump over the weekend to approximately 1,500 fans during one of her live comedy performances. She later shared a video of the special moment on Instagram on Wednesday night. The clip captures the comedian spinning around on stage with her shirt partially lifted to proudly display her stomach, instantly delighting her followers and drawing an enthusiastic response from the crowd.

"Are you guys surprised? So was I," Timpf joked on stage, maintaining her signature witty and self-deprecating humor. "I shouldn’t have been though, ’cause I’m married to a veteran and the army always does seem to take a while to pull out of something."

In the caption accompanying her social media post, the television star expressed her gratitude to the crowd for keeping her secret during the performance. "Huge thanks to the 1,500ish besties at my show this wknd for keeping my secret," she wrote. "So awesome to be the portal for a new little soul."

The new baby will be the second child for Timpf and her husband, Cameron Friscia, a former Army Ranger who served in Afghanistan and transitioned to a career as an investment banker. The couple first crossed paths on Raya, the exclusive, membership-only dating application frequented by celebrities, public figures, and high-profile professionals. After developing a strong connection, they announced their engagement in August 2020 and officially tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony in May 2021. They currently reside in Manhattan together with their young son and their household of pets, which includes a cat named Cheens, a dog named Carl, and a one-eyed rescue cat affectionately known as "The Juan-eyed cat."

This pregnancy announcement comes on the heels of an exceptionally difficult chapter for Timpf, marked by major health battles, professional milestones, and devastating personal loss. In February 2025, Timpf received a breast cancer diagnosis just 15 hours before going into labor with her first child, a son whose name the couple has chosen to keep private. Her specific diagnosis was ductal carcinoma in situ, commonly referred to as stage zero breast cancer, a condition in which abnormal cells form in the lining of a milk duct but have not yet spread to surrounding breast tissue, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Demonstrating remarkable resilience, Timpf underwent a double mastectomy in March 2025 and was officially declared cancer-free the following month. In July 2025, she underwent breast reconstruction surgery, and later that year, she traveled to Maryland to visit a specialized artist for 3D nipple tattooing as part of her recovery journey. Viewers and fans have routinely praised her strength and transparency, welcoming her back warmly when she returned to the airwaves, including appearances on Fox Nation shows, Fox News’ late-night staple "Gutfeld!", and daytime programs like "Fox & Friends" and "The Five."

However, the trials of the past year did not end with her cancer recovery. Earlier this year, Timpf shared the heartbreaking news that her father, Daniel Timpf, had passed away unexpectedly on May 7 at the age of 69. Describing him as a seemingly healthy and strong man, Timpf opened up to her followers in an emotional social media post in June, reflecting on the overwhelming weight of the preceding months.

"So, everyone knows I’ve had a really rough year last year — diagnosed with breast cancer, 15 hours later went into labor, gave birth to my son, had a double mastectomy," she wrote in her June Instagram post. "My dad helped me through the whole thing. Then, two months after my son’s first birthday, my dad just dropped dead, so it’s been really hard."

Despite the profound grief and physical hardships she has endured, Timpf’s recent announcement signals a hopeful new chapter for her and her family. The news was met with an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues, and supporters across social media.

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Timpf earned her bachelor’s degree from Hillsdale College before carving out a successful career in media and entertainment. Early in her journalism career, she worked for The Washington Times before transitioning into television commentary and stand-up comedy. Alongside her regular appearances alongside Greg Gutfeld on "Gutfeld!", she previously co-hosted a popular Fox News podcast titled "Tyrus and Timpf" alongside professional wrestler Tyrus.

As she prepares to welcome her second child, Timpf continues to balance her busy media career, television appearances, and stand-up touring schedule while sharing candid moments of her life with her dedicated following.
