Love blossomed again in the heart of Katie Lee Gifford after she was left heartbroken by the death of her husband.
Kathie Lee Gifford had a boyfriend who didn’t want to make their relationship public after her husband died.
Gifford’s friends are displeased by her choice of boyfriend, but she is ready to marry him nonetheless.
Gifford and her boyfriend broke up after news of their relationship became public, but they later reconciled.
Kathie Lee Gifford is best known for her role as a TV host on “Today,” however she has dabbled in many other things, like acting and singing. She and her husband were also famously married for decades before his death.
Now, Gifford has mended the broken heart the death of her husband left her with and has moved on to a new man. Their relationship was kept secret for quite some time, and when it finally got out, Gifford’s new boyfriend could not handle it.
Gifford and her boyfriend, Richard Spitz, began their relationship after Gifford felt ready to move on from her husband’s death. Spitz requested that they keep their relationship private, but news of the couple’s romance eventually made headlines.
When this happened, the couple reportedly had a significant fight that led to them taking a break from their two-year relationship. However, it wasn’t long before they had put their differences aside and reconciled.
Yet Gifford’s friends were upset by this as they believed that she could do so much better than someone who seemed “disinterested in the relationship.” However, sources close to Gifford say she is ready to tie the knot with Spitz.
Who Is Gifford’s Boyfriend?
Spitz, who obtained his master’s degree from NYU School of Law, is a managing director and founder of Strong Force Innovation Portfolios. He is a competent businessman with years of experience in his field.
In February this year, publications reported that Gifford and Spitz had been together for the past few months and had been spotted out together in Nashville. However, before then, nobody knew who Gifford’s boyfriend was as she said she wanted it to remain special by keeping it private.
An insider said Gifford was smitten with her beau and didn’t go anywhere without him. The insider also mentioned that they were surprised the couple had managed to keep their relationship under wraps for so long.
Since the news of their relationship broke, the couple has often been seen out together. Most recently, they were seen leaving a workout class together. An eyewitness said:
“They seemed to be enjoying each other’s company during their workout together this weekend. They were joking around during their personal training sessions.”
Gifford and Spitz live in the same gated community, but each has their own home. They were seen leaving their workout class and returning to their homes on this day after being seen by many fans.
Friends said that while Spitz was bitterly disappointed that their relationship had become public, Gifford was secretly thrilled that she could finally talk about Spitz publicly and let people know about their romance.
The insider said Spitz never wanted their photo taken and was furious that his relationship was “out there.” Now friends are worried that Spitz is unsuitable for Gifford because their relationship has not progressed over the past two years.
Friends confirmed that Gifford wants nothing more than for their relationship to progress and for them to get married. Yet her friends believe she can find someone who loves and cherishes her much more than Spitz does.
When talking about her beau months ago, Gifford said she had an excellent partner who was the most intelligent man she had ever met...
