00:00 Kathie Lee Gifford is loving the grandma life. On Friday, the former Today Show co-host shared
00:05 a peek at her latest bonding sesh with her one-year-old grandson Frankie, who's her son
00:09 Cody's child. In the Instagram snap, the two twin in wide-brimmed hats that shield them from the
00:13 summer sun as they enjoy the outdoors. In her caption, Kathie Lee radiated joy, writing,
00:19 "Heaven. I'm in heaven. Or as close as I'm going to get to it on this earth.
00:23 Wishing you all a blessed day." Fans in the comment section gushed over the duo,
00:27 and many remarked on just how much little Frankie looks like Cody. One wrote, "He looks just like
00:32 his dad. Precious. Being a grandparent is for sure heaven on earth." And another chimed in,
00:37 "Oh my. Did they rewind the tape? Looks like you 30 years ago holding Cody. Enjoy
00:42 grandmothering. It's the greatest gift." Kathie Lee became a first-time grandmother
00:46 last summer, when Cody and his wife Erica welcomed Frankie. When the cutie turned one
00:50 this May, his proud grandma celebrated on Instagram, writing, "Happy birthday to the
00:54 sweetest little man in the world. So grateful to God for the gift of Frankie." The television
00:59 personality has since welcomed a second grandchild. Her daughter Cassidy gave birth to a son named
01:04 Finn in June. When Cassidy and her husband Ben shared the happy news of Finn's arrival on
01:08 Instagram, Kathie Lee sent them love. She commented on her daughter's post, "Cassidy,
01:13 you and Ben are a wonder. The love you have for each other is so beautifully expressed in the way
01:17 you care for your newborn Finn, who is the best of both of you. Praise our loving Lord, who is
01:22 the God of family. I am beyond rejoicing with you and for you." And another bundle of joy is on the
01:27 way. Cody and Erica are expecting their second child, meaning Frankie will soon be a big brother.
01:32 The past few years have been a whirlwind for the Gifford family. Both Cody and Cassidy got
01:37 engaged to their respective partners in 2019, embarking on their journey to marriage and later
01:41 parenthood. Axis Daily chatted with Kathie Lee in 2019, a few months after her son's engagement,
01:47 and a few weeks before her daughter's.
02:01 >> Did you know the engagement was coming? Did you hope for the ring?
02:06 >> No, he told me the day before that it was going to happen the next day.
02:10 >> Oh, wow.
02:11 >> This is big.
02:11 >> Yeah, they've been together six years. They got engaged on their sixth anniversary.
02:15 >> Oh, that's great.
02:16 >> And she's lovely. She's from Las Vegas. She was a dancer. Not that kind. Not that there's
02:21 anything wrong with that. But they met at USC.
02:25 >> Oh, great.
02:26 >> He's a Trojan. So, yeah. So, he's happy. He's -- you know, Cody went to
02:31 Oxford University and got his master's in screenwriting. So, he's out there,
02:35 you know, writing and producing all kinds of stuff. Cassidy, probably going to get pretty
02:39 engaged pretty darn soon, too. I got to --
02:41 >> It's going to be a one-two punch.
02:42 >> I think -- well, yeah. And they've known each other since they were 11 and 14. So,
02:47 it's good. It's a happy time for us.
02:48 >> Excited about potentially being a grandmother soon?
02:51 >> Well, I've waited long enough, my gosh, haven't I?
02:54 >> What would they call you, your grandkids?
02:56 >> Hot.
02:57 >> You dare, don't skip me. You are right about that.
03:02 >> Hot mama.
03:02 >> Hot mama.
03:03 >> You are.
