Kathie Lee Gifford Reflects on Late Husband Frank's Devastating Affair (Exclusive)

The former 'Today' anchor also revealed where she stands on those rumors about being the first 'Golden Bachelorette.'

Sitting down with ET's Rachel Smith to discuss her new book, I Want to Matter: Your Life Is Too Short and Too Precious to Waste, the 70-year-old former Today anchor shares that after news of Frank Gifford's affair broke, she struggled with the concept of forgiveness. Kathie Lee says that while it may have been difficult to overcome, it came down for her to a few different things, including the love of their two children -- Cassidy and Cody -- and the idea that letting her resentment fester would have an outcome that would be ubiquitous. She's also skeptical of the concept entirely -- a prerogative likely exacerbated by the recent split of Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his final choice, Theresa Nist.
