TODAY alum Kathie Lee Gifford and her boyfriend Richard Spitz have been photographed together for the first time in photos exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun.
Kathie Lee, 69, and Richard, 62, seemed to be enjoying each other’s company in Nashville as the loved-up new couple hit the gym for an early Saturday sweat session.

However, the Today host soon took a tumble as they headed out from the gym.
Richard jumped into action, assisting his fallen ladylove in getting up from the pavement.
After the pair parted ways, the former Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee host met up with some friends for an early afternoon outing.
The pair began quietly dating over a year ago, as The U.S. Sun first reported.
“Kathie Lee and Richard have been enjoying each other’s company for some time,” the insider told The U.S. Sun.
“They’re often spotted out and about in the Nashville area.”
Another source noted that the former Today host’s new man was also on hand to support her September release of The Way, a musical adaptation of biblical stories which she produced.
The insider added: “She seems smitten and takes him everywhere.
“It’s surprising she’s kept the relationship under wraps for this long.”
Kathy was previously linked to Randy Cronk, an insurance agent from Tennessee.
KATHIE LEE OPENS UP
Back in August Kathie Lee revealed to People: “I have someone very special in my life. I’ve discovered that by not talking about it, it stays special.”
And in April of 2021, she opened up about a mystery man on Today.
She said: “It’s just happy, and I don’t want to mess it up, and I probably already have by just even mentioning it.
“To be in a place where you feel like every aspect of your life is good, that nothing’s missing, that’s a beautiful place to be.
“I’m just so grateful. He’s the smartest person I’ve ever met, and he’s funny.”
TRAGIC LOVE LOSS
Kathie Lee was married to NFL star, Frank Gifford from 1986 until his death in 2015.
The football star battled concussion-related brain disease, CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy).
They shared two children, Cody and Cassidy.
Frank reportedly left his entire estate to Kathy Lee which included $10million worth of liquid assets, a $2.5million house in Florida, and a $22million mansion in Connecticut.
Before Frank, Kathie Lee was married to Christian composer Paul Johnson, whom she divorced in 1983.
KATHIE LEE’S CAREER
Kathie Lee is best known for co-hosting ABC’s Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee from 1985 to 2000, alongside the late Regis Philbin.
In 2001, Kelly Ripa took over her position.
She later moved to NBC’s Today in 2008 to host alongside Hoda Kotb for the fourth-hour segment of the popular morning show.
However, she ultimately left in 2019 to focus on her career as an actress and producer.
