And now she is open to having a partner again. “Who doesn't want to find love again?” she replied when asked by Access Hollywood’s Kit Hoover her thoughts on finding another man.
“I think my probability is less, obviously. Some men are afraid of strong women. I wouldn't be interested in a man like that anyway. And some men are afraid of living up to the mantle of Frank Gifford, and there's no reason for that,” she continued.
Kathie Lee noted that while Frank was a sportcaster, NFL Hall of Famer, and New York Giants star, he “was just a flawed man like anybody else is. I didn't know him as an eight-time Hall of Famer. He was my husband and he was my friend for four years before we fell in love. So if that's part of God's will for me, I'm certainly open to it.”
But good luck getting a hold of the Today show co-anchor! “I'm not out at singles bars. I'm not online,” she admitted.
And while she hasn’t found love yet, she has been on a date, although it wasn’t exactly mindblowing. “He didn't share my faith and couldn't understand why I didn't want to be with him,” she told Access Hollywood.
“I said, ‘My faith isn't something I do on Sunday mornings for an hour. My faith is me, and I'm not going to share my life with somebody or even another hour of my life on a date with you if you don't share the same passion for your faith as I do.’”
Still, the 64-year-old isn’t letting one bad apple spoil the bunch. “Oh, I'm not deterred,” she jokes. “I'm open to anybody that has their own teeth!” What are your thoughts on Kathie dating again? Let us know in the comments section.
