Kathie shares her two grown-up children with her late husband, Frank Gifford, a former NFL player for the New York Giants. Many fans have remarked that Cody looks just like his late dad.

Frank passed away in 2015 at 84. His mom had remarked how much they resemble each other on "Today" at the time of his death. Kathie left the show in 2019.

Kathie shared a photo of the newlyweds and wrote that she was grateful for the precious day.

The Giffords have had a very eventful year this past year, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the harsh restrictions that came with it.

Both of the Gifford siblings got married. Cassidy was the first to get married. She married her husband, Ben Wierda, in June 2020. Kathie shared how COVID-19 affected their weddings:

"Neither one of them had the weddings that they had dreamed of because COVID made it impossible."

However, it only meant that they both had intimate weddings with their close family and friends. Cody and his wife, Erika Brown, were married over labor day weekend.

Kathie shared a photo of the newlyweds and wrote that she was grateful for the precious day. The couple started dating in 2013 and were engaged in 2019.

Two weddings in the space of a couple of months could be very overwhelming for any mother. However, Kathie revealed that she actually did not have to do any of the planning.

Kathie explained that she only had to show up to her children's weddings. She posted photos of both couples on their wedding day, and everyone looked so stunning on their special days.
