Jenna Bush Hager<\/a> celebrated another year around the sun on Today<\/a> With Jenna & Friends, and her birthday episode was full of special surprises.<\/p>\n

At the top of the Tuesday, November 25, episode, Bush Hager shared that her kids<\/a> threw her a special birthday dinner the night prior. \u201cI\u2019ll just say this, that at the age of 44, a four-course cheese meal doesn\u2019t hit the way it did at 22,\u201d she joked. (Bush Hager shares kids Mila, 12, Poppy, 10, and Hal, 6, with her husband, Henry Hager<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Her guest host, Andy Cohen<\/a>, proceeded to kick off her birthday surprises, stating, \u201cOne thing you don\u2019t have an aversion to is your husband, Henry, and he wanted to send you a message. Take a look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hager told his wife to \u201chave a wonderful day\u201d in his video message<\/a>, which was filmed right outside of Today\u2018s Studio 1A. \u201cAs a present to you and your viewers, I will be coming to cohost the holidays with you. So, let\u2019s get ready to do this! Can\u2019t wait!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hager previously cohosted two episodes of Jenna & Friends with his wife back in March. He will return to guest host the show\u2019s Christmas Day and New Year\u2019s Eve episodes next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve 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,\u201d Bush Hager revealed. \u201cSo, this is really a gift, and we\u2019ll see how it goes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jenna Bush Hager celebrated another year around the sun on Today With Jenna & Friends, and her birthday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153460,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-153459","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153459"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153459\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
