Before attending a Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert earlier this year, Ellie, along with her sister Carrie, 27, shared the exciting news of her pregnancy with their mother, according to People.
As part of a tradition of the tour, Ellie and Carrie brought beaded friendship bracelets to exchange, cleverly using this accessory as a means to reveal Ellie's pregnancy to their mother.
Couric, a vocal Swiftie, shared a video of this heartwarming moment on Sunday, December 17, seemingly filmed by Ellie's husband, Dobrosky, who she's been married to for two years.
In the touching video, Carrie presents their mother with a bracelet. Couric, a former anchor of 'Today', vocalizes her thought process as she attempts to decode the message on the bracelet, guessing words like "brand", "brandy", and "B", before finally reading out the correct phrase: "Granny to be".
As the realization of the message’s meaning dawns on her, Couric's laughter at her previous attempts to decipher the bracelet fades into stunned silence.
Ellie then confirms, "I'm pregnant," causing Couric’s jaw to drop in surprise.
"Wow," Couric exclaims, covering her mouth in apparent shock. When Ellie asks if she's "freaked out," Couric simply responds with a "No", followed by more laughter.
