The CBS News reporter took to Instagram on Saturday (June 6) to share photos from the special day. The snaps included Riley in a long, white dress, posing with her mom, dad, and other family members. “Graduation season. Proud of our Riley,” O’Donnell captioned the post.
Fans and friends shared their well-wishes in the comments, including tennis icon Billie Jean King, who wrote, “Congratulations from both of us!”
“Congrats Norah. She’s beautiful.. may be the next time we do an interview about “women of the future” she’ll be with you in SA,” added CBS News San Antonio reporter Sarah Forgany.
Many pointed out how much Riley looks like her mother. “Congrats!!! Looking just like her beautiful mama!” wrote one fan.
“Spittin Image!” said another.
“Your clone!” another added.
One commenter wrote, “She looks so much like you! Congrats!!”
The former CBS Evening News anchor shares three children with her husband, restaurateur Geoff Tracy, including Riley and 19-year-old twins, Henry and Grace. The couple met while attending Georgetown University together and got married in June 2001.
Last month, Norah celebrated Henry and Grace’s birthday with a sweet Instagram post. “Celebrating Grace and Henry today! Happy birthday to the terrific Tracy twins! We love you,” she wrote alongside a gallery of family photos.
In a 2019 interview with People, O’Donnell spoke about the importance of family dinner around the table. “It’s an important time to sit down and talk about everything that’s happened over the weekend and then we watch 60 Minutes together,” she explained. “But the best part is we’re teaching our kids the importance of cooking at home.”
She noted that she and Tracy often take turns in the kitchen, and that the kids also chip in. “It’s easy to order out, and we love that too,” she shared, “but I’m glad the kids have an appreciation for making meals for each other, and as a part of that have also learned how to load the dishwasher and take out the trash afterward.”
“To cook something for the people you love is like therapy,” she added. “To make a beautiful meal for your family or friend, it’s incredibly relaxing and also brings me a lot of joy.”
