Kathie Lee Gifford Dropped These Hints About Her New Relationship That Many Viewers May Have Missed

You don’t see as much of Kathie Lee Gifford these days, now that she’s no longer a regular morning host. But many fans are still interested in how her love life’s going. And recently, Gifford's been all over the news with talk about her romantic escapades – though if you weren’t looking closely, you might’ve missed what all the fuss is about.

New life

Gifford moved down to Nashville, Tennessee, after she quit her job on NBC’s hit morning show Today. She left the fourth-hour segment back in the spring of 2019, and she made no secret of her willingness to bring some romance into her life. After all, it’d been some years since she’d lost long-time husband Frank.

Loving Nashville

The morning TV legend adored Nashville, finding it a laid-back treasure. As she told her former Today coworkers during a November 2019 appearance, “There’s a different culture down there,” she explained. “It’s a culture of kindness in Nashville. They are authentically kind. They are joyful, they have so much fun.”

Act of faith

Still, Gifford isn't ready to retire just yet. She recently made a film for Hallmark called A Godwink Christmas: Meant for Love. As she explained, “It took me a while to convince Hallmark that there’s a huge demographic of people out there that don’t want faith taken out of stories.” But the question remained, was she missing what she left behind?

Ever onward

No, Gifford wasn’t missing Today, despite her success on the program. In fact, she admitted to People in May of 2019, “I haven’t watched the show once." Then she continued, "I never watched the show when I left Regis [Philbin]. When I leave, I leave with a lot of love in my heart but dreams for the future. I never look back, you can't."
