Kathie Lee Gifford Calls Time With Grandson ‘My Idea of Heaven’

By Movieguide® Contributor

Kathie Lee Gifford is loving her time as a grandmother. 

The former Movieguide® Award winner and actress recently shared a new photo with grandson Frank Michael. His parents are Gifford’s son Cody and his wife, Erika Brown. The couple welcomed Frank on June 1 of this year. 

“My idea of heaven,” the Movieguide® Visionary Award-winning actress captioned a shot of her holding the baby. 

Movieguide® previously reported on Gifford’s joy at being a grandma:

Kathie Lee Gifford recently celebrated the birth of her first grandchild, along with new parents Cody Gifford and Erika Brown. 

“My heart is bursting,” Gifford captioned a photo of the new parents at the hospital. “Frank Michael Gifford is here, confirming that our God is good and merciful and faithful. And he loves us!”

In another post, Gifford wrote: “What greater miracle is there than the miracle of life? I cannot contain my joy. Thank you God for the gift of little Frank Michael Gifford. 8 lbs. 8 oz. of sheer beauty.”

The newborn is named after Cody’s late father, Frank Gifford, but his middle name has a special family connection for Brown. 

“Frank ‘Frankie’ after C’s pops & Michael after my uncle who passed away last year at 61 whose name also means ‘gift of God’ / Two strong men — gone but never forgotten,” she captioned her own Instagram post. 

“Thank you so much to all of you for your prayers and sweet messages,” she continued. “He’s so SO cute and we can’t get enough of all of the snuggles from this lil’ guy. We are sincerely obsessed.”
