Kathie Lee had "big news in our family" to share with viewers this morning. For the past seven months, her son Cody has been dating Claire Schreiner, "a beautiful girl" from Gillette, Wyoming -- and on Sunday night, she was crowned Miss Wyoming USA, meaning she will go on to compete in the Miss USA pageant next April. Cody sent his mom a text saying "I'm really proud of her."
"She was focused to get ready for this," Kathie Lee commented to Hoda Kotb. "Sort of like me every morning getting focused to be with you."
Check out how Claire looked winning the crown and see what a cute couple she and Cody make.
