Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager seem to have a whale of a time on Today with Hoda and Jenna. But they also aren’t afraid to get serious – as proven by one of their latest discussions centering on mom guilt.
On the June 4th episode of the show, Hoda, 59, who shares daughters Haley Joy, 7, and Hope Catherine, 4, with ex-husband Joel Schiffman, and Jenna, 42, who shares daughters Mila, 11, and Poppy, 8, and son Hal, 4, with husband Henry Hager, opened up about feeling guilty about missing some important events in their children’s lives due to their busy work schedules.
The co-workers spoke openly about missing events in their children’s lives not just through working, but through working on a morning show which is when many of the children’s events take place…
“My daughter had something today at school that I missed,” Kotb said, adding: “And I was thinking about that, missing things, because I have missed things. Because our shift is so weird and they do all the things in the morning.”
