Katie Couric is now a grandma!

The former Today show co-host shared the exciting news on social media to reveal that her daughter Ellie Dobrosky has welcomed a child.

“John Albert Dobrosky was born on his due date, Saturday, March 23rd at 8:23 am, just shy of seven pounds,” she shared.

The post also featured daughter Ellie, son-in-law Mark Dobrosky, younger daughter Caroline Monahan, and her husband John Molner as the family spent time with the newborn.

The proud grandma explained the name, “He will be called Jay in honor of his maternal grandfather. Albert is after Mark’s paternal grandfather.”

She added, “Mom and Dad (Ellie and Mark) are over the moon. (it was a full moon) I am thrilled to have my first grandchild, Carrie can’t wait to be a cool Aunt and Molner is enjoying handing out cigars. We feel so blessed.”

Couric, 67, also shared the news on her own website.

“I have a new screensaver. It’s my brand-new Grandson,” she began her blog.

“The John is for all the Johns in Ellie’s life: her father, John Paul Monahan; her grandfather, John Martin Couric; her uncle, Johnny (I’ve called him that since we were little); and her stepfather, John Paul Molner. Her paternal grandfather was also John. The branches of our family are covered in J’s!!,” she shared.

“Witnessing your baby have a baby is wild. Ellie had an easy pregnancy and took good care of herself. I know she’s going to be a wonderful mother, and I know Mark will be a parent who is an equal partner. Jay was like that. It makes all the difference in the world.”

In December 2023, Katie Couric first announced her daughter was expecting via an Instagram video.

Couric gave birth to her and her first husband Jay’s daughters Ellie and Caroline in 1991 and 1996, respectively. Following Jay’s death, she married her current husband Molner, 60, in 2014.
