Kathie Lee Gifford has more than one reason to smile - and it's safe to say 2023 is going to be a magical year for her.
Not only has the former Today with Kathie Lee & Hoda co-anchor found love again with businessman Richard Spritz, but she's also set to become a grandmother for the second time.
In December, Kathie's daughter Cassidy announced the happy news that she was pregnant with her first child. Cassidy and her husband Ben Wierda have since been updating fans on their pregnancy journey on social media.
Most recently, the 29-year-old shared a joyful photo of herself and Ben at a friend's wedding, where she posed with a protective hand resting on her growing baby bump.
"Baby’s first wedding & Ben’s first time in the sun," she wrote in the caption. Doting grandmother Kathie was one of the first to reply, writing: "So happy for both of you, I mean all three of you!"
Kathie is already a grandmother to 11-month-old Frank, who is the first child of her son, Cody, and his wife, Erika Brown.

The couple welcomed their first child in June 2022, and named him after Cody's late father, Frank Gifford. Kathie loves nothing more than being a grandmother and often talks about doting on baby Frank.
What's more, Cassidy's baby is due in June 2023, meaning that it will be an extra special birthday month for Kathie's two grandchildren. Cassidy announced her pregnancy with a heartfelt message at the end of last year.
"Our little peanut arriving June 2023," she wrote. She then followed the announcement with a reference to the Bible verse Jeremiah 1:5, which read: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
