Fox News host Kat Timpf has officially confirmed her return, putting an end to the speculation surrounding her absence. In a reassuring message to her fans, she stated, “I will be back,” and the timing of her return has now been disclosed. Here’s when you can expect to see her back on screen. 
Kat Timpf, a FOX News anchor and panelist, recently shared that she will need to undergo a double mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis.
At 36 years old and having just welcomed her first child, Timpf posted a photo of herself outside Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan, explaining her upcoming surgery.
“Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I have a double mastectomy, eliminate my cancer, undergo breast reconstruction surgery, and am physically ready to hit the gym, it’s OVER FOR U B***HEZ,” Timpf wrote.
She initially disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis in a unique birth announcement on her X account on February 25, stating it was “Stage 0” and expressing confidence that it “almost certainly hasn’t spread.”
“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Timpf shared at that time. “Now, before you worry, my doctor says it’s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread. Or, as I’ve explained to the few people I’ve managed to tell so far: Don’t freak out. It’s just, like, a LITTLE bit of cancer.”
“Still, it was not a calm day, to say the least! I woke up more than a week past my due date, completely focused on doing everything I could to bring the baby into the world. By the afternoon, I was waddling from appointment to appointment, discussing how to address my cancer. I listened as they explained that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible. I asked as many questions as I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to my baby’s ultrasound. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around my apartment in spontaneous labor before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, who I would learn at birth was a son.”
Timpf, who has previously anchored several FOX News programs and authored two books, mentioned that she was planning to take maternity leave for the next three months, which will now be different than she initially intended. Many of her FOX News colleagues expressed their support on X, including her Gutfeld! co-host Greg Gutfeld, who wrote, “We’re all here for you, Kat!” and Lisa ‘Kennedy’ Montgomery, who commented, “You are amazing in every way.”
Timpf is a regular panelist on Gutfeld! and appears on various other FOX News shows. She previously co-hosted FOX News Specialists in 2017, the FOX News Radio podcast Tyrus and Timpf with professional wrestler Tyrus from 2018 to 2023, and has hosted the FOX Nation show Sincerely, Kat since 2019.
