Let’s talk about love—or at least the possibility of finding it on TV! Kathie Lee Gifford, the effervescent TV personality we all know and love, isn’t ready to hang up her dancing shoes just yet. In a candid conversation, Kathie Lee revealed she might be considering joining the cast of a reality dating show following her recent breakup from Richard Spitz. That’s right, folks—she’s stepping into the dating world with a little help from the cameras.
Kathie Lee Returns to the Spotlight
At 70 years young, Kathie Lee stopped by the Today show to chat about her latest venture, The Baxters, and, of course, her personal life. Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, the dynamic duo of the morning show, were all in on the idea of Kathie Lee joining The Golden Bachelorette as the show’s leading lady. Can you picture it? Kathie Lee, the queen of charm and wit, navigating the world of modern dating under the watchful eyes of millions.
A Reality Show Fit for a Legend
Hoda, ever the supportive friend, pointed out that Kathie Lee would bring a unique perspective to the dating show landscape. “The storyline would be really good because, first of all, you’re not someone who would ever go sucking face with someone in a hot tub,” Hoda, 59, playfully teased Kathie Lee during her appearance on Tuesday, March 26. It’s this kind of honesty and humor that makes Kathie Lee such a beloved figure in the entertainment world.

Jenna Bush Hager, chiming in with her own excitement, asked the million-dollar question: “Kathie, will you do it?” The anticipation was palpable as everyone waited to hear what Kathie Lee had to say.
Family Matters: What Do the Kids Think?
At first, Kathie Lee seemed hesitant, brushing off the idea with a laugh. “I can’t do it. They haven’t offered it to me,” she said, only to then admit that discussions had indeed taken place. But the real kicker came when Kathie Lee shared her children’s differing opinions on the matter. Cassidy and Cody Gifford, her two grown kids, have opposing views on whether or not Mom should take the plunge into reality dating. “Cody wants me to do it and she doesn’t want me to do it,” Kathie Lee revealed, highlighting the internal family debate.
A Vision for Love
When asked about her ideal version of The Golden Bachelorette, Kathie Lee didn’t hold back. “They would have to make [the men] much younger,” she joked, giving us a glimpse into her playful nature. It’s clear that Kathie Lee isn’t just looking for any old dating show; she’s envisioning something completely different, something that aligns with her vibrant personality and zest for life.
For those who don’t know, Kathie Lee has been married twice—first to Paul Johnson from 1976 to 1983 and then to the legendary Frank Gifford from 1986 until his passing in 2015. Her move to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2019 marked a new chapter in her life, where she began dating Richard. While it seemed like things were going well, their relationship ultimately came to an end, leaving Kathie Lee to navigate the dating world once again.
Heartbreak and Hope
As Kathie Lee processes the end of her relationship, she’s leaning on her close friends for support. “Now, with their relationship over, she’s going through another heartbreak and frightened that at 70 her time has passed,” an insider shared with Closer earlier this month. But fear not, because Hoda has been a rock for Kathie Lee, calling her every day and planning a visit to Nashville soon. Despite the emotional challenges, Kathie Lee remains focused on what truly matters: her family, friends, and faith. As she moves forward, she plans to embrace these pillars of her life rather than dwell on the past.
As Kathie Lee continues to navigate this next chapter of her life, one thing is certain: she’s doing it with grace, humor, and a whole lot of heart. Whether or not she ends up on The Golden Bachelorette, we’re all rooting for her to find happiness and joy in whatever path she chooses.
