Kathie Lee Gifford said the legacy of her late husband, Frank Gifford, lives on in their grandchildren.

The couple had two kids, Cody Gifford and Cassidy Gifford. Cassidy Gifford and husband Ben Wierda share son Finn, 2, and daughter Rosie, 9 months. Cody Gifford, and his wife, Erika, are parents of sons Frank, 3, and Ford, 2, and Faith, who was born in September 2025.

As a grandmother of five, Kathie Lee says she can see Frank in them.

“They all have Frank’s cleft chin,” Kathie Lee told Hoda Kotb while appearing on TODAY March 9.

“And they’re all absolutely athletic,” she added.

Frank famously played for the New York Giants and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. He died in 2015 at the age of 84.

Kathie Lee, whose new historical novel, “Nero & Paul: How the Gospel of Grace Defeated the Ruler of Rome,” comes out March 10, also gushed about the newest addition to the family, Faith, and how her brothers have taken a shine to her.

“The latest one is another little girl named Faith, and she is this delicate — she looks like a little Elizabeth Taylor,” she said. “And those boys of Cody’s are so rambunctious. But they get around their baby sister, and it’s just gentleness. We’re blessed.”

Kathie Lee has said she loves being a grandmother.

“’Bubbe’ is my name,” she told TODAY.com in 2024 about her chosen grandmother name. “It’s Yiddish.”

She also loves seeing her own kids become parents, noting the “sheer joy of watching my children with their children.”

While appearing on Hoda’s “Making Space” podcast in January, Kathie Lee gushed over her kids’ parenting skills.

“I think that’s one of the most joyful things in my life is watching my children be such amazing parents,” she said. “If Frank and I did anything right, it would be that.”

Kathie Lee also recalled how she insisted her kids say “please” and “thank you” as children, which are lessons they have passed on to their own offspring.

She said her grandchildren have gone “beyond that” and make sure to make eye contact when greeting people and wishing them well when they say goodbye.
