Couric says the family is doing well and that she will travel to Los Angeles in a few weeks to visit the newborn.

Overview

  • The Instagram post, shared on Wednesday, June 17, introduced Virginia Louise and confirmed she was born May 30, 2026 weighing 8 pounds, 5 ounces.
  • Couric wrote that daughter Ellie is doing great and that her first grandchild, John “Jay,” is coping with the new arrival.
