Frank Gifford: Who Is Kathie Lee Gifford’s Second Husband?

Frank Gifford is the second husband of Kathryn Lee Gifford, a French-born American television presenter, singer, songwriter, occasional actress and author.

Frank and Kathie got married on October 18, 1986, about four years after Kathie’s divorce from her first husband Paul Johnson.

Frank Gifford was an American football player and television sports commentator and his marriage to Kathie was his third as he had previously been married to with Maxine Avis Ewart and Astrid Lindley. With Ewart, Frank had three children.

Kathie was 23 years younger than Frank and they had two children together, Cody Newton Gifford (born March 22, 1990) and Cassidy Erin Gifford (born August 2, 1993).

Sadly, Frank died on August 9, 2015, from natural causes at their Greenwich, Connecticut, home at the age of 84.

In 2017, two years after Frank’s death, she released “He Saw Jesus”, a very personal song Kathie Lee co-wrote (with songwriter Brett James) and dedicated to her husband.

All proceeds from the song went to the international evangelical Christian humanitarian aid charity Samaritan’s Purse.
