Katie Couric’s daughters were AWOL for their annual Park Avenue tulip photo over the weekend with their mother, but her second husband was by no means a “sad stand-in.”

From behind her round metal RayBans, Katie Couric posed alone beside the purple tulips and cherry tree in bloom in her Instagram Stories.

Though she missed her adult children, she contended that her husband, John Molner, looked “pretty cute” against the floral backdrop in an April 17, 2023, post.

John Molner was not so convinced in the comments, “This is a SAD stand-in for the adorable Monahan girls, but they will be back next year, I’m sure!”

He was in a red “pandemic shirt” printed with “Stay calm, Say cool, Stay home.” Couric wore a graphic button-down shirt under her washed-out jean jacket and white slacks.

Katie Couric Felt “Liberated and Vulnerable” in Makeup-Free Spread

When PEOPLE asked Couric to do a shoot without makeup for their Beautiful issue in 2021, her knee-jerk reaction was, “Hell no,” but eventually came around. After taking the photos, she said that she felt great being bare-faced because she was being true to herself:

“Doing a shoot without makeup makes you feel both liberated and vulnerable.”

For the journalist, wrinkles show a “lifetime of laughing and smiling.” She described her relationship with cosmetics in her mid-60s as “interesting,” as wearing too much can be even more “aging,” and finds it “terrifying” to go fresh-faced.
