Kathie Lee Gifford is opening up about how she was able to heal from her late husband Frank Gifford's infidelity in 1997.
Kathie Lee Gifford is explaining why she decided to forgive her husband after his affair in 1997. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the former 'Today' show host explained that the initial shock of Frank Gifford's infidelity had been hard to overcome, but she did not want to let those feelings fester and control her life.
Fast-forward to today, Kathie Lee doesn't have any regrets about forgiving her late husband for stepping outside their marriage. She told Entertainment Tonight that she still has people approach her on the street and thank her for being open about forgiving her husband, because it allowed them to work through their own marital struggles. She explains that it's 'toxic' to bottle-up resentment towards your partner. 'It's a cancer in your soul and I don't want that.
It's not a bed of roses. I mean, we struggled after that for a long time. He knew that I would never again be exactly the same as I was before I knew the truth of what he had done,' she said. 'I knew my children would be very, very different people if we had broken up at that time.' In 2015, Frank died of natural causes at his home in Greenwich, Connecticut. He was 84.
