If there’s one thing Kathie Lee Gifford is known for better than her happy hour with Hoda Kotb on weekday mornings, it’s her undying love for late husband, Frank.
Frank Gifford spent his life playing, commentating and watching football alongside his wife, Kathie Lee, and their two kids, Cassidy and Cody. On August 9, 2015, he died at the age of 84 due to natural causes.
Since his sudden death, Kathie Lee has been open about her grief, heartache and her unwavering faith in Jesus Christ when it comes to moving forward, and navigating life without her husband of nearly 30 years.

Throughout her career, Kathie Lee has thrown herself into musical theater productions, including the musical Saving Aimee, which became a Broadway production in 2012.
She’s also brought her musical talents to the Today show, often writing and performing songs for a segment called Everyone Has a Story. Viewers submit their stories online—detailing their hardships, trials, triumphs and joy—and Kathie Lee will write and perform a song on their behalf.
