Kathie Lee Gifford's daughter, Cassidy Gifford, is proof that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The mother and daughter look much alike in a recent Instagram post.
Kathie Lee Gifford has achieved much in her career, but she takes most pride in being a mother. She recently celebrated a special milestone, her daughter Cassidy Gifford's birthday.
The television personality recently paid tribute to Cassidy on Instagram, sharing a wonderful photo where they looked like twins. Alongside the picture was a touching caption, where Kathie expressed how honored she felt to be Cassidy's mom.
Fans couldn't help but notice the strong resemblance between the two beautiful women. "Twins," one fan said. Meanwhile, another social media user wrote:
"Beautiful! I can see both Mom and Dad on her! Thank you for sharing."

Cassidy followed her mom's footsteps in the entertainment industry and dabbled in acting as a teen. At 12, she appeared on "That's So Raven" and realized she loved acting. She also had advice from her mom, who warned her it would be "a lot of work."
Besides acting, Cassidy also sometimes shares a similar fashion sense as her mother. They often borrow clothes from each other's closets and sometimes don't return things for a while. However, they can also be exact opposites, as Kathie enjoys being more dressed up.

Cassidy is also a mom herself. She married Ben Weirda in October 2021 and welcomed their first son, Finn, on June 24, 2023. She marked both milestones with Instagram posts. "We are so madly in love with you, buddy," she wrote as she introduced her son to the world.
Kathie Lee Gifford has doted on her grandson multiple times on social media. In July, she shared a glimpse of their afternoon together and posted another photo cradling him. She also posts about her other grandson, Frank Gifford Jr., whose father is Cody Gifford.
