Kathie Lee Gifford has become a grandmother for the second time, this time celebrating the arrival of her first granddaughter. Her daughter Cassidy gave birth to baby girl Rosie Mae Wierda on June 3, 2025. Cassidy announced the joyous event on social media, expressing her excitement and gratitude, stating, “You are a million prayers answered, Rosie girl. We love you so much.”
Cassidy, who is also the mother of a son named Finn born in June 2023 with her husband Ben Wierda, shared a touching image of her cradling Rosie’s hand. Kathie, affectionately known as “bubbe,” had previously expressed her delight in being a grandmother, noting her love for watching her grandchildren grow and appreciating her children’s parenting styles. She fondly recalled watching her son Cody with his two young sons, Frank and Ford, and highlighted how they share their late grandfather Frank’s features, including the notable cleft chins.
Excitement surrounds the family as just a month earlier, Cody and his wife Erika announced they were expanding their family as well. Erika shared that they were expecting a new addition, calling it a “blessing” that they had longed for. Kathie remarked on her happiness for the family’s growing size, saying she was “beyond filled with joy” about the announcement.
Their close circle, including Kathie’s longtime friend Jill Martin, has also embraced the joyful atmosphere, celebrating the family’s milestones together. Jill expressed her fond memories as Kathie’s intern and highlighted the special bond they share, further enhancing the nurturing narrative surrounding Kathie’s new role as a grandmother.
This latest addition to the Gifford family brings warmth and joy, marking a beautiful chapter in Kathie Lee’s life as they celebrate the blessings of new life together.
