Giffords is a previous Congresswoman who stepped down after becoming a survivor of gun violence, and is now an advocate and the founder of a nonprofit for gun control.

Kelly tweeted, “In a year of firsts, this has to be my favorite: Everyone please join me in welcoming our first grandchild, Baby Sage.”
