Katie Couric, the former host of “Today” show, is overjoyed to announce that she is officially a grandmother! In an Instagram post, Katie shared a heartwarming photo of herself cradling her daughter Ellie’s newborn baby, John Albert Dobrosky.

Little John weighed almost 7 pounds when he came into the world on a beautiful Saturday morning. He will be affectionately known as Jay, in honor of Katie’s late husband and John’s grandfather, Jay Monahan. Jay Monahan sadly passed away in 1998 due to colon cancer.

Katie shared more adorable pictures on Instagram, featuring Ellie and her husband Mark holding their precious little one. Katie’s husband John was also present, beaming with joy and handing out celebratory cigars.

Not only did Katie showcase the new addition to their family, but she also captured a tender moment between her other daughter, Carrie, and the newborn. It’s clear that this bundle of joy has brought immense happiness to everyone.

We join Katie in celebrating this wonderful milestone and congratulate Ellie and Mark on their beautiful baby boy. Katie Couric is embracing her new role as a grandmother with pure delight, and the whole family is over the moon with their little bundle of joy.
