Kathie Lee Gifford Spills The Tea On Grandkids, Family Holidays, And Gratitude

Hey there, friends. Let’s talk about the one and only Kathie Lee Gifford. This incredible woman, known for her heart of gold and her iconic presence on the "Today" show, is getting ready to step into a new chapter of life—grandmotherhood. Well, sort of. While we can all agree she'd make an amazing grandma, it looks like we’ll have to wait just a little longer for those precious grandbabies. Kathie isn’t rushing her kids, Cody Gifford, 27, and Cassidy Gifford, 24, into starting families. And honestly, who could blame her?

During a chat with E!, Kathie opened up about her hopes for grandchildren, but also emphasized her commitment to letting her kids find their own paths. "Of course I want to have grandchildren," she shared with a warm smile. "But I don’t want my children to marry until they’re ready, until they find the right person for them, and then have a child that they’re truly prepared for. It’s all about timing, and that timing comes from God, not me." Lucky for Kathie, she’s already had a taste of what it’s like to be a grandma. "The moment I married my late husband, Frank Gifford, I became an instant grandmother," she reminisced. "Frank was already a grandfather, so I’ve had the joy of having little ones around. And even now, there are always babies nearby, so I’m not exactly missing out!"

It seems like Kathie’s son, Cody, is already paving the way for his own family life, but that means sharing him with his girlfriend during the holiday season. Kathie shared, "Cody is going to be with his girlfriend where she lives and see her family this time." She added, "They take turns. I’ll see him at Christmas and New Year’s." But don’t worry, Kathie won’t be spending the holidays alone. Her daughter Cassidy will be home, ensuring there’s plenty of love and laughter in the air.

A Thanksgiving to Remember

When it comes to celebrating Thanksgiving, Kathie keeps it simple and heartfelt. "We just cook," she said with a chuckle. "I start cooking on Wednesday and we cook through Thursday. Then, we sit down for our meal, and everyone just hangs out and talks. That’s all we do." For Kathie, Thanksgiving isn’t about extravagant decorations or fancy gifts. It’s about gratitude. "It’s one of my favorite holidays because it’s all about being thankful," she explained. "This world doesn’t need more stuff. What it really needs is more gratitude and kindness." Words to live by, don’t you think?

So, there you have it. Kathie Lee Gifford is embracing life with open arms, cherishing every moment with her family, and teaching us all a thing or two about patience, love, and gratitude. Who knows? Maybe next year, we’ll hear about those adorable grandbabies!
