“I just let a 878-day Duolingo streak lapse and I could not recommend it more,” she wrote.

“I am finally free.”

In the comments, Timpf commiserated with followers about the hold the app can have over you.

“I’m at 1,369 and I can’t wait for the day that it’s broken for good,” one user replied.

“Stress, I don’t need! And I still no parlo Italiano!”

Some fans expressed gratitude towards her for revealing her decision to quit the app that persistently sends nagging reminders to complete your daily language lesson.

“Kat, thanks so much for posting this. I lost my 817-day streak a week ago,” one follower wrote.

“And now you’ve made me realize that I lost nothing except a nagging anxiety.”

Timpf relied with a three-word answer: “YES.”

The Duolingo streak was the last stress Timpf needed in her life as she continues to battle cancer and helps to raise her newborn child.

The Fox News host told her followers that she was diagnosed with breast cancer just hours before giving birth to her son.

“Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. Roughly fifteen hours before going into labor, I received a breast cancer diagnosis,” Timpf shared in a detailed post on X.

“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 about it so far: Don’t freak out. It’s just, like, a LITTLE bit of cancer.”

She concluded her announcement by saying she feels “lucky” to have caught the disease so early.

Timpf, known for her role on the Fox News show Gutfeld and as the author of the book I Used to Like You Until, is taking a break from the network for maternity leave and to prioritize her health.

Kat Timpf’s full statement

An Unconventional Birth Announcement

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

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 about it so far: Don’t freak out. It’s just, like, a LITTLE bit of cancer. 

Still, it was not a chill day. I mean, to say the least! I woke up more-than-a-week-past-due pregnant, completely consumed by doing everything I could to get the baby out. By the middle of the afternoon, I was waddling around from appointment to appointment, talking about how to get my cancer out. I sat and listened as they told me that the best course of action would likely be a double mastectomy as soon as possible. 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. Finally, by the middle of the night, I was crawling around on 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. 

The good news? People who work at hospitals make excellent audiences for dark humor — and, as someone whose first book was about the power of jokes to get through traumatic situations, there was really no better place for me to be. Just minutes after my boy was born, I was talking with the nurses about what a birth announcement in my situation might look like. 

Should I go with “Mom and baby are doing well, except maybe for mom’s cancer, and then maybe the baby after breastfeeding is stunted by her double mastectomy,” and then shut off my phone for a week?

Anyway! These next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I’d anticipated, and I’m still getting used to my new reality. Still, as I navigate new motherhood (and new cancer) I’m learning to celebrate everything I can. I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom. I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.

Thank you all for your support, laughter, and love as I embrace this wildly unexpected chapter. Here’s to resilience, to miracles in the midst of chaos, and to finding humor and hope even on the toughest days.

Kat

She reappeared on the network earlier this month as a panelist in Greg Gutfeld’s new show, What Did I Miss.

Fans of hers are still reaching out, offering support and asking for advice. 

“I hope all is well with you and your little guy.  I have a question…My sister was just diagnosed with stage Zero DCSI cancer in both breasts,” one woman commented under Timpf’s Duolingo post.

“She is otherwise extremely fit & healthy.  Do you have any words of encouragement or advice I could pass on to her?  Thanks.”

The host replied saying she would DM the commenter with some words of advice.
