Let me tell you a story about Kathie Lee Gifford, a woman who knows how to dance with life—even when the music changes. Recently, at an outdoor concert in Franklin, Tennessee, Kathie Lee was spotted having the time of her life. She was grooving to the tunes of a Journey tribute band with a handsome younger man by her side. The energy was electric, and you could see it in her smile. As they danced, there was a moment when her new beau leaned in for a kiss, and Kathie Lee, with that signature sparkle in her eye, seemed completely in the moment. Later, the couple sat together in lawn chairs, chatting like old friends, clearly enjoying each other’s company.
Love Finds You When You Least Expect It
It’s been four years since Kathie Lee lost her beloved husband, football legend Frank Gifford. That’s a lifetime for someone who shared so much love and laughter with him. But Kathie Lee, with her unstoppable spirit, has rebuilt her life and found new love with Randy Cronk, a 56-year-old insurance agent from Ohio who now calls Spring Hill, Tennessee, home. Now, here’s the kicker: Kathie Lee, at 65, is embracing this new chapter with open arms. In an exclusive interview with Closer Weekly, she opened up about her readiness for love. “I’ve been ready,” she shared candidly. “Whatever God has in store for me, I’m open to it.”

The Power of Reinvention
Sure, divine intervention might have played a role in this new romance, but let’s not forget the incredible effort Kathie Lee has put into reinventing herself. Last April, facing an empty nest—her kids, Cody, 29, and Cassidy, 26, are both thriving in L.A.—she made the bold decision to step away from her gig at Today and relocate to Nashville. This wasn’t just a change of scenery; it was a leap of faith. “I’m making big changes because I need to,” she said with conviction. “If I didn’t, despair would creep in, and loneliness can be a heavy burden. Moving to Nashville wasn’t just about chasing dreams—it was about saving my life.”

Love Sneaks Up on You
This bold move did more than just lift her spirits—it introduced her to a whole new circle of friends, including Randy Cronk. “I wake up every day excited about what I’m doing,” she gushed. “Life feels fresh and full of possibility.” And that’s where Randy comes in. “You don’t chase love,” Kathie Lee reflected. “It finds you. It sneaks up on your heart when you least expect it.”
So, here’s to Kathie Lee and Randy, proving that love knows no age and that new beginnings are always possible. Treat her well, Randy—we’re all rooting for you!
