Congratulations are in order for Katie Couric! The beloved former co-host of the Today show has officially become a grandmother. Katie took to Instagram on Sunday to share the wonderful news that her daughter, Ellie Dobrosky, 32, had given birth to a beautiful baby boy.

In an emotional post on her website, Couric revealed that her grandson, John Albert Dobrosky, made his grand entrance into the world on Saturday at 8:23 a.m., weighing just shy of seven pounds. The family was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to meet the new addition.

Reflecting on the momentous occasion, Couric described the anticipation in the waiting room as she, her husband, and her daughter Carrie eagerly awaited the news. When they finally got the green light to meet Ellie and the new baby, it was like Christmas morning for them.

Couric also shared the heartfelt meaning behind her grandson’s name. John holds a special place in Ellie’s heart, honoring the important Johns in her life, including her father, grandfather, uncle, and stepfather. As for Albert, it pays homage to Mark’s paternal grandfather, creating a beautiful blend of family history and love.

This exciting news only comes months after Couric announced Ellie’s pregnancy in a heartwarming way. Before attending a Taylor Swift concert together, Ellie and her sister Carrie surprised their mother with a special bracelet that read “Granny to be.” Couric was overwhelmed with joy and couldn’t wait to share the news with her devoted fans.

We join in celebrating this wonderful milestone for Katie Couric and her family. Congratulations to Ellie and Mark on the arrival of their precious bundle of joy. May their journey into parenthood be filled with love, joy, and endless cherished moments.
