A hearty congratulations is in order! The former co-host of Today, Katie Couric, is now formally a grandmother. The happy news that her 32-year-old daughter Ellie Dobrosky had given birth to a gorgeous baby boy was shared by Katie on Instagram.
John Albert Dobrosky, weighing little under seven pounds, was welcomed into the world on Saturday at 8:23 a.m. The whole family was thrilled and filled with joy when the baby boy came on his due day. The ecstatic parents, along with Katie’s spouse and daughter Carrie, eagerly anticipated meeting their newest family member.
John Albert Dobrosky is a unique name with particular significance. “John” pays homage to Ellie’s father, stepfather, grandfather, uncle, and all the other Johns in her life. “Albert” pays tribute to Mark’s paternal grandfather in the meantime. It’s a name full of ties to family and affection.
It took a while for this happy occasion to arrive. Before the two of them went to see Taylor Swift perform live, Katie revealed that her oldest daughter had unexpectedly informed her that she was expecting. After sitting Katie down, Ellie and her sister Carrie gave her a friendship bracelet that said, “Granny to be.” Katie was filled with delight and tears of happiness after witnessing this touching gesture.
Katie hid this family secret from her admirers for a few months, waiting impatiently for the opportunity to tell them. She is currently announcing to the world the birth of her grandson, John Albert Dobrosky.
There is love, happiness, and priceless moments to treasure in this new chapter. Ellie and Mark deserve congratulations on this lovely addition to their family! May they have endless joy and treasured memories on their grandparent journey.
