As the 11th anniversary of her husband Frank Gifford's passing approaches in August 2026, Kathie Lee Gifford is embracing her current life chapter. At 72, she expresses no interest in dating or remarrying, stating Frank will always be the love of her life. However, she remains open to the possibility of a miraculous new love.
Gifford, a mother of two and grandmother to five, is focused on finding joy in the present. She reflects on her marriage, including a past infidelity that the couple worked through. Frank Gifford died in August 2015 at 84 from a massive heart attack, and his posthumous diagnosis of stage 4 CTE, a degenerative brain disease, has led the family to donate his brain to science for further study.
The television personality emphasizes the importance of cherishing each moment. Having recently filmed a documentary, written a book, and embraced her role as 'bubbe,' Gifford's focus is on appreciating the present, recognizing that none can predict their last breath.
