Hey there, friends! Let me tell you about something truly heartwarming. Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford, two of the most beloved personalities on TV, met up for an unforgettable day at MetLife Stadium. They watched the New York Giants take on the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, December 8, proving that their bond remains as strong as ever.
Now, at 60 years old, Hoda couldn't resist sharing the joyous moments from the NFL game with her followers on Instagram. She was joined by her eldest daughter, Haley, while Kathie Lee, 71, brought along her son, Cody Gifford, his wife Erika Gifford, and their two adorable boys, Frank and Ford. The pictures captured the sheer happiness of the occasion, a perfect snapshot of family togetherness.
Hoda's caption summed it all up—“a great day.” Her fellow Today co-host, Savannah Guthrie, chimed in with “Best. Ever!” in the comments section, while Jenna Bush Hager expressed her love with two red heart emojis. It's moments like these that remind us how special these friendships really are.

One fan commented, “Love that the two of you are together with your kids and grandkids!” Another added, “That’s great, Hoda! I hope you love your new home. It’s so close to mine. What a wonderful community!” Clearly, Hoda's transition to her new suburban life is resonating with her fans.
A New Chapter for Hoda
Hoda recently made the big move to a new home in the suburbs with her daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope. As exciting as this change is, it also marks the beginning of the end of her time on Today. In January 2025, Hoda will officially step down to focus on her family and start a new chapter in her life. Her final broadcast is scheduled for January 10, and trust me, it's going to be an emotional goodbye.
Looking back on her journey, Hoda expressed her gratitude. “The math is nuts when you think about it,” she said. “I’ll be working through the start of 2025, so there’s plenty of time to talk about what’s ahead for all of us. But one thing I know for sure right now is this: everything’s going to be just fine. The Peacock’s feathers are never ruffled. No matter who comes or goes, Today and its amazing people— all of you— never waver.”
Kathie Lee's Heartfelt Tribute
Kathie Lee couldn't help but share her feelings when Hoda announced her departure. “Bittersweet news as my dear friend @hodakotb steps away from the Today Show,” Kathie Lee wrote on X on September 27. “Her warmth, laughter, and incredible spirit have brightened our mornings and touched countless hearts. Here’s to new adventures!”
If anyone understands the bittersweet nature of leaving Today, it's Kathie Lee. Back in 2019, she bid farewell to the show after years of bringing joy to millions of viewers. Since then, she's kept herself busy with various projects, including the release of her latest book, Herod and Mary: The True Story of the Tyrant King and the Mother of the Risen Savior, which came out in July.
The Inspiration Behind Kathie Lee's Book
Before the book’s release, Kathie Lee opened up about what inspired her to write it. “In 2012, I returned from my first rabbinical visit to Israel. Unless you're truly studying what the word of God actually says, you won’t fully grasp its meaning,” she shared with Closer in July. “That trip changed my life. When I got home, my son suggested, ‘Mom, why don’t you write books based on biblical history?’ I thought it was a brilliant idea.”
