Jenna Bush Hager celebrated another year around the sun on Today With Jenna & Friends, and her birthday episode was full of special surprises.
At the top of the Tuesday, November 25, episode, Bush Hager shared that her kids threw her a special birthday dinner the night prior. “I’ll just say this, that at the age of 44, a four-course cheese meal doesn’t hit the way it did at 22,” she joked. (Bush Hager shares kids Mila, 12, Poppy, 10, and Hal, 6, with her husband, Henry Hager.)
Her guest host, Andy Cohen, proceeded to kick off her birthday surprises, stating, “One thing you don’t have an aversion to is your husband, Henry, and he wanted to send you a message. Take a look.”
Hager told his wife to “have a wonderful day” in his video message, which was filmed right outside of Today‘s Studio 1A. “As a present to you and your viewers, I will be coming to cohost the holidays with you. So, let’s get ready to do this! Can’t wait!”
Hager previously cohosted two episodes of Jenna & Friends with his wife back in March. He will return to guest host the show’s Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve episodes next month.
“We’ve asked him before to do it. We had such a fun time. He was really cute. We asked him to come back, and he said no,” Bush Hager revealed. “So, this is really a gift, and we’ll see how it goes.”
