AceShowbiz - Kathie Lee Gifford has celebrated her third grandchild's birth by hailing him a "beautiful blessing." The comic, 70, posted a string of photos of the newborn boy called Ford following his arrival on November 27 after her son Cody had the youngster with his wife Erika.

"Welcome to the family Ford Matthew Gifford. Thank you God for this beautiful blessing. Bubbe already loves you so much Ford (red heart emoji)," she captioned her carousel of images, which included one of the baby in a hospital crib wrapped in swaddling.

Kathie and Erika also shared a video of the tot's older brother Frankie meeting his new sibling and kissing him on the forehead. They captioned the clip, "Do you want to see an expression of pure joy? Frankie meets his brand new baby brother Ford for the very first time and it's love at first kiss."

Erika also posted a set of snaps of the newborn online, and captioned them, "Happy one week and due date my sweet miracle baby. I love you more than you'll ever know, Ford Matthew Gifford." Sharing his exact time of arrival and weight, the new mum added, "Eleven twenty seven, eight pounds thirteen ounces."

Kathie Lee's son and daughter-in-law also announced the birth with a collage video featuring different moments from the birth two days after Ford was born, with Erika writing alongside the post, "Introducing the newest love of our lives, Ford Matthew Gifford. Thanking God immensely for another perfect 'gift.' Welcome to the world, sweet sweet son (grey heart emoji)."

Former "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" co-host Kathie became a grandmum when Cody and Erika welcomed Frankie, who was named after her late husband Frank Gifford, in May 2022.

Kathie Lee's daughter, Cassidy Gifford, and her husband, Ben Wierda, also gave birth to a son named Finn six months ago in June.
