Fox host Kat Timpf posts cheeky picture to remind fans ‘what she’s capable of’ amid cancer battle
Fox Host Kat Timpf posted a cheeky picture to social media to remind fans exactly what she’s ‘capable of’ amid her cancer battle.

Timpf, 36, was told she had stage zero breast cancer just hours before going into labor with her first child last month.

On Monday, she posted a picture of her in a camo jacket, gray top, and studded black loafers with her long legs showing, letting her followers know she’s in good spirits just days after having an operation.

‘As I sit at home recovering & looking a level of ugly that is only possible when showering is medium traumatizing, I am posting this to remind u h03s what I’m capable of,’ she wrote.

Her followers quickly flooded the post with supportive comments, as one said: ‘You look fabulous!! Strong smart and resilient. You’re going to be a super mom! Good luck on the road to recovery.’

Another wrote: ‘You will come back better than ever!! Motherhood turns women into superheroes.’

The Fox star delivered her baby son in February, and in her birth announcement she also revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before he arrived.

‘Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,’ she said.

‘My doctors say it’s stage zero and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread.’

She recounted the hectic day that led up to her diagnosis and how she used humor to cope with the news.

‘I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out,’ she said.

‘By the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out.

‘I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby.’

Timpf – who wed 38-year-old Army vet Cameron Friscia in 2021 – also revealed the gender of her child.

‘Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around the floor of my apartment in spontaneous labor, before heading to the hospital to meet my baby, whom I’d learn at the time of birth was a son.’

She remained on air well into her third trimester, and during that time she faced a slew of sickening comments about her baby bump.

‘I am under the close care of a doctor, and I promise that both of us know and care far more about my health and the health of my own baby than any random online stranger does from just seeing me on TV,’ she added she said on X.

‘Although I’m sure much of it is well-intentioned, I don’t need to be bombarded with comments about how my belly looking this way or that way clearly means I will be needing this or that.

‘Or how I shouldn’t be at work, or concerns about my “amniotic fluid” or any other wildly personal medical things.

‘See you all tonight!’ the longtime Fox talent went on to conclude, before appearing on Fox’s highly rated Gutfeld! later that night. She did so one more time before being noticeably absent for the broadcast after that.

Some of the horrific comments she received read: ‘Don’t get political with us! Just give us the amniotic fluid report!’

Months before, following an October appearance on the Barstool Sports-owned Out and About podcast, an Instagram user sniped: ‘Why do you show your belly? are you a 11 years girl?’

‘Why do these pregnant wemon[sic] sit there half naked,’ someone else scathed, after the TV personality who has appeared on a host of Fox shows over the past decade donned a short T-shirt for the appearance.

‘Not flattering,’ another added, leading Timpf to later admit to the US Sun: ‘Sometimes, some of [the comments] will bother me.

‘Now if I need to get engagement up on my video I just need to wear a crop top and I’ll have people calling me horrible and disgusting,’ the former Barstool contributor joked, before addressing the subject of trolls in a self-filmed video.

‘Yes, I’m still pregnant. Yes, I’m past my due date,’ she says in the clip of her strolling through the streets of New York City on February 11.

‘Yes, this is the longest pregnancy of all time,’ she joked, after promising to appear on both Fox News and Gutfeld right up until the day she delivered her child.

‘Yes, I’m still working,’ she added. ‘No, I don’t want to stop working.’

Just last week Timpf shared a post-surgery update to let fans know she was doing well.

She shared an image from a hospital bed of her legs covered by a gown with an animated ‘censored’ illustration over her feet.

In the caption, she made a joke about how much her breast size had been reduced.

‘Post-op! They’re honestly not much smaller than they were before I got pregnant,’ Timpf wrote.
