Kathie Lee Gifford is a grandmother again – and this time she has welcomed her first granddaughter.
Daughter Cassidy gave birth to a baby girl on June 3 2025, and she took to social media to share the heartwarming news.
"Rosie Mae Wierda! Born at 9:59am on 6/03/2025. You are a million prayers answered, Rosie girl. We love you so much. 1 Samuel 1:27," wrote Cassidy alongside a picture of her cradling her newborn's hand.
Cassidy is also mom to son Finn, whom she welcomed in June 2023 with husband Ben Wierda.
Only days earlier Kathie, who is known as bubbe to her grandsons, told HELLO! that her favorite thing about being a grandmother was "watching them grow and watching my children parent so beautifully".

"I'm with my son and to watch his little boys love each other – they can't stop hugging – and one of them (Frankie) is like Bam Bam Flintstone and the other, Fordy, almost weighs more than Frankie does now," she laughed.

The news comes a month after Cody and his wife Erika shared that they were also expanding their family.
While dubbing their family a "party of cinco," Erika wrote on social media: "Our little blessing on the way was prayed for, dreamed of, and is already so deeply loved. 20 weeks in and we can't wait to meet the newest member of our crew."
