Breaking news: Katie Couric is going to be a first-time grandma!
The veteran journalist, 66, shared that her daughter Ellie Monahan, 32, is pregnant by posting the moment she learned that she was going to be a grandma.
In the video, Couric is sitting outside with Ellie and her other daughter Carrie, 27, before the trio attend a Taylor Swift Eras Tour show earlier this year. Carrie hands her a friendship bracelet, a tradition with Swift fans, as she tries to decipher what it says.
“Brand, Brandy, B, Granny …” the former “Today” show co-host says. “Granny to be.”
Couric laughs before the message finally sinks in.
“I’m pregnant,” Ellie says, as her husband Mark Dobrosky, captures the moment on camera.
“You are?” Couric says, appearing to be in shock. “Wow.”
Ellie and Dobrosky married during the Fourth of July weekend in 2021, two years after announcing their engagement.
“Been dying to tell you,” Couric added in her Instagram post caption. “This is what happens when you go to a @taylorswift concert last summer and forget your friendship bracelet and your daughters say, “Don’t worry, we made one for you!” #omg #omg #omg #omg #needmy [glasses].”
On Aug. 4, the author initially shared a collage of photos with her daughters as they attended Swift’s concert.
“All I can say is WOW. @taylorswift defies superlatives. But let me try. She’s a brilliant singer-songwriter and mesmerizing performer. Oh, and did I mention she is indefatigable?” she captioned a pic of them near their floor seats. “I hope you enjoy watching some of the highlights This was a once in a lifetime experience I’m so glad I got to share with my girls who each have a PhD in Swiftology. They know every word to every song and every designer Taylor was wearing. We felt so lucky to experience this together.”
“What I really loved is the joy Taylor exudes and the love she has for her fans and her entire team. But at the same time she remains so humble and grateful,” she continued. “Thank you Taylor, I don’t know how you’re going to do five more shows but I have no doubt you’ll kill it night after night.”
Couric had Ellie and Carrie with her late husband Jay Monahan, who died of colon cancer in 1998. In 2014, she married financier husband John Molner.
