Television personality Kathie Lee Gifford revealed she was heartbroken over NFL star Tom Brady and Gisele B?ndchen’s divorce rumors and argued that “God loves marriage.”
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Gifford reflected on her marriage with her late husband, Frank Gifford, who was a former New York Giants football player and television sports commentator.
“Well, he was more than an NFL star. Frank was one of the greatest football players of all time … Tom Brady’s a magnificent player. Frank always felt that he was the greatest quarterback of all time … I don’t compare Frank to anybody else,” Gifford said.
After being married for nearly 30 years, Gifford went on to say that she experienced challenges in her marriage, as “everybody does,” and expressed that she was upset when she heard the news of the Super Bowl champion and the supermodel reportedly hiring divorce lawyers.
