Kathie Lee Gifford Can’t Wait For Her Son and Daughter-In-Law To Have Another Baby
Katie Lee Gifford went right to the comment section, congratulating her son and daughter-in-law on their pregnancy.
“I am beyond filled with joy that this magnificent secret is finally out! So grateful to God for His faithfulness and loving kindness, and so thrilled that both of my children married, beautiful spouses, and are incredible loving, tender, and tough parents, just like I had,” Kathie Lee wrote.
Kathie Lee adores her role as grandmother. In addition to Frank and Ford, she’s also a grandmother to her daughter Cassidy’s son, Finn.
“I’m just so grateful for them. They’re precious and they give me a purpose to get up every morning when everything else is just not the same for me,” Kathie Lee told People. “Life is just so different, and I just try to find joy when I can find it. And the only place I can really find it is in the Word of God and in my grandsons.”
Kathie Lee Gifford told People she gave birth to her son and daughter later in life, so being a grandparent is a treasured blessing.
“It is exactly what everybody’s always told me, which seems like such a cliché. But clichés — they’re real. Because they’re true,” she said.
