Kathie Lee Gifford<\/strong> is giving fans a candid update on her love life greater than a decade after the death of her late husband, Frank Gifford<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not dating anybody without delay, and I don\u2019t want so far,\u201d Kathie Lee, 44, said in an interview with People<\/em><\/a> published on Tuesday, June 30. \u201cI\u2019m not looking, and I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever get married again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank died on August 9, 2015, one week before his eighty fifth birthday. The previous NFL player and Kathie Lee were married for 29 years, tying the knot in October 1986 and welcoming two children, son Cody, 35, and daughter Cassidy, 32, while they were together.<\/p>\n

Kathie Lee met Frank when she worked at Good Morning America<\/em> in 1982. They went through a rocky patch in 1997, when he publicly admitted he had been unfaithful. The previous TV host reconciled together with her husband and together they worked to \u201cheal\u201d their marriage.<\/p>\n

While sharing her thoughts on potentially walking down the marriage aisle again, Kathie Lee said, \u201cI had a chance for that to perhaps occur, and it didn\u2019t work out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The previous Today<\/em> host last dated Nashville-based businessman Richard Spitz<\/strong> from late 2021 until early 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrank will at all times be the love of my life,\u201d Kathie Lee said. \u201cIf God desires to do something miraculous, like give me one other great love [then I\u2019m open to it]. And so I leave room for the miraculous to occur.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank died of natural causes, although his family shared that he suffered from CTE, a progressive brain disease brought on by quite a few concussions and brain trauma.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile Frank passed away from natural causes this past August on the age of 84, our suspicions that he was affected by the debilitating effects of head trauma were confirmed,\u201d the Gifford family said in a November 2015 statement. \u201cIn the course of the last years of his life, Frank dedicated himself to understanding the recent revelations in regards to the connection between repetitive head trauma and its associated cognitive and behavioral symptoms \u2014 which he experienced firsthand.\u201d<\/p>\n
