“We rejoice in the extraordinary life he was privileged to live, and we feel grateful and blessed to have been loved by such an unbelievable human being”.
Sharing a photo of Kathie Lee and Frank on Twitter with the caption: “2 awesome people were born today xo all my love”.
“I was putting my contact lenses in, and I’m bending over at the thing, and I had nothing but my shorts on, and she made some comment…about something about, ‘I’ve seen a lot of tight ends…’ but just kept right on walking down the hall”, Gifford told King in 1993.

He played with the New York Giants from 1952- 1964, and he assisted his side to five NFL championship games and was voted the league’s MVP before his No. 16 Giants jersey was retired and he was inducted in to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977.

But throughout their marriage, they experienced rocky times, from business scandals, when Kathie Lee initially denied that her Wal-Mart clothing line resulted from the use of Honduras child laborers, to charges of infidelity. “And she is very strong but obviously, very distraught”.
