Kathie Lee Gifford Celebrates Birth of Fifth Grandchild, Reflects on Leaving "TODAY"

In a joyous family milestone, former "TODAY" show co-host Kathie Lee Gifford has become a grandmother of five. On September 21st, 2025, Gifford's son Cody and his wife Erika welcomed their third child, a baby girl named Faith.

Gifford, who left the "TODAY" show in 2019 after 11 years, had previously shared her excitement about the new addition to the family. In an Instagram comment back in May 2025, she wrote, "You are such a beautiful mother and my son is an amazing father, and I am blessed among women to call you my own. This little girl is gonna rock her brothers' world. And she is going to rock the world at large because she is loved and touched of God."

While Gifford has yet to publicly comment on the birth of her fifth grandchild, she has been open about the emotional journey of leaving the "TODAY" show. In a recent interview, she revealed that the hardest part was saying goodbye to the crew and staff she had worked with for over a decade. "They became my family," Gifford said. "Leaving that behind was the most difficult thing I've ever had to do."

Now, as Gifford embraces her new role as a grandmother, she can look forward to spending more quality time with her growing family and celebrating the joyous arrival of baby Faith.
