Kathie Lee Gifford says she's ready to find love 5 years after husband Frank's death: 'I am dating a sweet guy'
TV star Kathie Lee Gifford revealed that she is once again ready to find love, five years after the death of her husband, Frank.
As reported by Daily Mail, Gifford shared that she is already seeing someone in her new home town, Nashville Tennessee. While she is enjoying the new fling, she is no rush to replace her late husband who is a sportscaster and former NFL player. The 66-year-old shared, "You don't find love, love finds you."
"That's what I'm waiting for. I'm not going out looking for it. God will bring it to me," Gifford added. She did not give away the identity of her new man either. It was later revealed that the man was an insurance agent 56-year-old Randy Cronk. However, Gifford would not confirm that she was in a relationship with Cronk.
"I have dated. I would like to find somebody, I'm a people person. I am dating a very sweet guy. I told him how blessed I am. I feel very cozy in there and he asked if you ever get lonely and I said 'every day'," she shared. It was last November that Gifford left her long term home in Greenwich and moved to Nashville.
She had also spoken about how Frank's sudden death of natural causes in 2015 had ended his suffering from CTE and had also acted like closure for her. "Frank had been very sick for several years before he passed and when Frank did see Jesus and went straight to heaven, I had such closure," Gifford said.
"I had been praying that the Lord would take him that way, on a beautiful day when we were on our way to church - and boy he did go to church. I have such peace because I know who he is with. He's up there with my mother and my father... at my age, you start to have lost quite a few of your loved ones, but it's not the end. The Christian faith is about internal life," she had continued.
Gifford admits that she is still feeling lonely despite leaving New York for a new happy life in Nashville. "The loneliness is a natural progression in life when your parents have passed on, your husband has passed on, your children have moved away and you're alone in the big house that once was teeming with activity and now the silence is deafening. And it doesn't matter how much music you put on, you can't escape the fact that you are there by yourself," Gifford revealed.
