Kathie Lee Gifford Delights in the Sound of Church Bells in Her Nashville Home — Her Life after Husband’s Death

• Kathie Lee Gifford's life has recently gone through a number of changes, including the arrival of a grandchild.
• A few years back, Gifford also moved into a new home and mentioned how much she enjoyed living there after feeling extremely lonely in her old place.
• Although Gifford moved to a new house, the family chose not to sell the old one, and Gifford's son now resides there.

Kathie Lee Gifford is widely known for her work presenting numerous television shows. Although she's now retired, the TV personality has more than enough things to occupy her time. Kathie Lee has always been close with her family, and recently, the "Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee" host's family has grown by one.

In early May 2022, Kathie Lee's son, Cody Gifford, welcomed his first child with his wife, Erika Brown. The proud new parents named the little one Frank Michael Gifford after Cody and his sister's late father, Frank Gifford. The entire family has been fawning over the little one, with Kathie Lee even setting up a nursery for him in her home.

Kathie Lee couldn't be prouder of her grandson. She has posted a few snapshots of her and the little one, proudly displaying him for the world to admire. The TV personality confessed that little Frank's name came as a bit of a surprise, but she was glad Cody chose to keep his father's memory alive.

Although she adored her old house where she lived with Frank, Kathie Lee is having the time of her life in Nashville.

The death of her husband left Kathie Lee in a tricky spot. The TV personality's parents had passed away long before, and her son Cody and daughter Cassidy Gifford had left home a few years earlier. So when Frank passed away, Kathie Lee was left all alone in the house she had shared with her husband for years.

The TV personality decided to buy herself a new home in Tennessee, where she felt she could find a new community. She admitted, "I moved here because I was dying of loneliness." In Tennessee, Kathie Lee found what she was looking for, connecting with countless other creatives and working on a slew of new projects.

Kathie Lee's New Tennessee Home

Before moving to Nashville, Tennessee, Kathie Lee lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, the home she shared with her late husband, who died in August 2015. In October 2018, she bought herself a $1.25 million brownstone mansion in Nashville, and a year later, she purchased a second property in the same area.

Besides the church bells and the friendly people, Kathie Lee has also found a large group of like-minded people who share her hobbies.

Kathie Lee prefers living in her second purchase, a $3.7 million two-story house, and she has given fans numerous glances inside the luxurious abode. With several bedrooms and bathrooms to match, it's understandable why she has confessed that she absolutely adores life in Nashville. But the house isn't all she loves about the city.

Kathie Lee shared that she adores the culture in Nashville. She noted that Nashville is a friendly place where people look out for others and enjoy being together. There's music playing constantly, and the residents all love a good barbecue. Kathie Lee explained that Nashville reminded her of America when she was a child.

Nonetheless, Kathie Lee's new home is certainly nothing to scoff at. Besides the ample bedroom space and numerous bathrooms, the house features a lovely kitchen with granite countertops and wooden cabinets. The living room is lined with wood and features a cozy fireplace, while her study also has an impressive hearth.

The house also features a spacious dining room and ample outdoor space for Kathie Lee's growing family to enjoy. The TV personality loves relaxing at the glass table on her patio, lounging in the Nashville sun with her dog and a glass of wine. The house's large windows also ensure that she can lounge in the sunshine almost anywhere in her home.

Although she adored her old house where she lived with Frank, Kathie Lee is having the time of her life in Nashville. She explained that once Frank died and her kids left home, the house went from a bustling family home to a quiet place used only by Kathie Lee and her dog, so she decided to move.

Kathie Lee's Life in Nashville

One of the things that Kathie Lee adores about her new home is hearing the church bells ring every hour from the comfort of her own living room. The TV personality shared that she would stop whatever she was doing and just listen to the sound of the bells tolling in the distance. And with a church on every corner, it becomes a beautiful euphony.

Besides the church bells and the friendly people, Kathie Lee has also found a large group of like-minded people who share her hobbies. Over the years, the TV personality has branched out into various fields, releasing several albums as a vocalist and even showing off her prowess as an author with a few books.

In Nashville, Kathie Lee found a community of people who enjoy the things that she loves, and the TV host confessed that she often invites other writers to her home, where she serves them lunch. Kathie Lee has also started dating again. Although she's keeping her relationship private, she shared that she's enjoying the company.

Kathie Lee noted how nice it is to have privacy. Her new home has taken her out of the bustle of New York, and the TV personality has found it serene not to have to worry about scores of tabloids hounding her without end. Now, Kathie Lee can enjoy building a relationship with her new partner in private.

Kathie Lee was also astonished at Nashville's focus on health and wellness when she spotted yoga studios and juice bars almost on every street in town. And besides having more than enough places to focus on her health, Kathie was also overwhelmed by the warm welcome the Nashville locals gave her when she first moved in.

However, Kathie Lee couldn't get herself to sell her old home. With so many memories, the TV host decided to keep it in the family, insisting that her son, Cody, move into the house with his growing family. And Cody is going to need the space, having recently announced their second baby is on the way.
