GMA’s Lara Spencer has fans seeing triple with extra special family photo

Lara Spencer has fans seeing not double, but triple, with her latest family photo.

The Good Morning America anchor has spent the last few days visiting her daughter Katharine in Tampa, Florida — where her Vanderbilt University lacrosse team is competing — and for the special reunion, her mother also joined.

In addition to Kat, 20, the doting mom also shares son Duff, 23, with her ex-husband David Haffenreffer, a former CNN reporter who she was married to from 2000 to 2015.

Over the weekend, as the Spencers continue to enjoy their family reunion, Lara took to Instagram and shared glimpses into it.

Showing off the family’s impressive genes, Lara shared a photo featuring her — in Vanderbilt lacrosse merch of course — posing next to her mother, Carolyn von Seelen, her daughter Kat, plus her sisters, and they couldn’t look more alike.

In a separate post, Lara shared more photos of the family reunion, highlighting how they all supported Kat’s lacrosse game as they twinned in their Vanderbilt shirts.

“Special cheering section for the @vandylacrosse game this week,” she wrote in that carousel, and in her other post: “Starting lineup.”

She noted: “First time her grandmother and aunties get to see 8 and her @vandylacrosse team in action,” referring to Kat’s jersey number.

Fans were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it, with one writing: “So cute! Love them all in their Vandy gear!!!” as others followed suit with: “This is amazing! love this!” and: “What fun for you gals,” as well as: “Great photo ladies! Enjoy!” plus another also commented: “Such a beautiful memory!”

Kat is currently a junior at Vanderbilt, where her mom’s GMA colleague George Stephanopoulos’ daughter with Ali Wentworth, Harper, is also a student, along with Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter Apple. Meanwhile, her older brother graduated from Southern Methodist University.

And when she is not in the GMA studio, the ABC mainstay lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with her husband Richard McVey, an entrepreneur and chief executive officer of MarketAxess Holdings who she met on a blind date, and who she married in Vail, Colorado in 2018, as well as her beloved dogs. Catch up on more of Lara’s family life in the video below.
