Kathie Lee Gifford Found Love Again but Won't Talk about It in Public

During her time on "Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee," she regularly regaled her co-host Regis Philbin with stories about her family of four. However, Kathie Lee has a new approach that aligns with her stepping out of the spotlight to live in Nashville, where she's "found personal happiness."

She did not raise Savannah Guthrie's pointed question to label him her boyfriend.

The 69-year-old told PEOPLE in August 2022 that she has "someone very special" in her life but has realized that by not divulging all the details, the relationship "stays special."

Chatting with "TODAY" In 2019, Kathie Lee Gifford called going dating for the first time in 30 years "surreal." The mother of two said she had gone on a couple of dates and had fun but hadn't found a love match. Kathie Lee Gifford philosophized:

"You don't find love. Love finds you. It hasn't found me yet."

Two years later, she visited her former "TODAY" colleagues again in April 2021. In a similar cagy manner, she confirmed that she was in a relationship with a man who is funny and challenges her. "The God Who Sees" director considers him the smartest man she knows.

She did not raise Savannah Guthrie's pointed question to label him her boyfriend, saying: "It's just happy," and she's afraid to mess it up by divulging more. It is unclear if this is the same man she mentioned in her 2022 PEOPLE interview.
