Pat McAfee, host of The Pat McAfee Show on ESPN, is soon to be a father of two.
Kathie Lee Gifford is officially a grandma of five.
The 72-year-old former “Today” show co-host became a grandmother for the first time in May 2022 when her son Cody Gifford welcomed his first child — a son named Frank — with his wife Erika Gifford.
The couple went on to welcome their second son Ford in November 2023, according to NBC News.
Now nearly two years later, Kathie Lee Gifford’s son Cody has welcomed another child into his family.
On Sept. 23, Erika took to Instagram to announce the birth of her third child and first daughter with Cody — and, like her two older brothers, the baby was also given a baby name that starts with F.
“Welcome to the world our sweet baby Faith. It’s our greatest honor getting to love you, you heaven-sent girlie,” Erika wrote in the caption — further revealing that she was born on Sept. 21 in a hashtag.
“We love you, precious Faith!!” Kathie Lee’s daughter Cassidy Gifford wrote in a comment.
The baby announcement comes just a few months after Cassidy welcomed her second child.

“Rosie Mae Wierda! Born at 9:59am on 6/03/2025,” she wrote in a birth announcement post of her own. “You are a million prayers answered, Rosie girl. We love you so much.”
Rosie is the only grandchild of Kathie Lee without a name that starts with F.
In June 2023, Cassidy welcomed her first child — a boy named Finn Thomas Wierda — with her husband Ben Wierda, whom she has been married to since 2020, according to People.
“Our whole entire world,” she wrote of her son Finn in a 2023 Instagram post. “We are so madly in love with you, buddy. Thank you, Lord for this most precious gift.”
Kathie Lee shares both of her kids with her late husband Frank Gifford, according to People.
Kathie Lee Gifford has quite the unique grandma name
Kathie Lee frequently gushes about being a grandmother on social media and in interviews.
On Aug. 2, she shared a video of her singing “A Bushel and a Peck” to her newborn granddaughter Rosie while wishing her daughter Cassidy a happy birthday.
“Such a joy to hold my beautiful daughters beautiful daughter. Happy Birthday to her Mama, my precious Cassidy!” she wrote in the caption.
One month earlier, she shared a photo of her holding baby Rosie ahead of her one-month birthday.
“Overjoyed to be able to spend several hours with my Tennessee babies! Growing up way too fast already… today’s is Rosie Mae’s one month birthday!” she wrote in the caption.
This comes nearly one year after Kathie Lee opened up about her life as a grandma in an interview with Hoda Kotb on the “Today” show.

“Everything people tell you about grandchildren is true,” she said to Kotb.
She then revealed that her grandchildren call her “Bubbe,” the Yiddish word for “grandma” — though her grandkids often pronounce it BOO-bee instead of BUH-bee.
Kathie Lee has yet to post about her newest grandchild, but she expressed her excitement for grandbaby No. 5 in Cody and Erika’s pregnancy announcement in May.
“I am beyond filled with joy that this magnificent secret is finally out! So grateful to God for His faithfulness and loving kindness,” she wrote in a comment at the time.
