Jenna Bush Hager is getting benched \u2014 by her own kids.<\/p>\n
The \u201cToday With Jenna and Sheinelle\u201d co-host admitted Friday<\/a> that her 13-year-old daughter Mila has effectively banned her from volleyball games after one too many over-the-top moments on the sidelines.<\/p>\n \u201cI got kicked out by my child,\u201d Hager said, before clarifying, \u201cWell, I didn\u2019t get kicked out, like, removed immediately. I got put into a free zone.\u201d<\/p>\n Jenna Bush Hager said daughter Mila, 13, has effectively banned her from volleyball games. NBC<\/p>\n Bush, 44, said her enthusiasm crossed the line with Mila, her eldest child, during a recent match.<\/p>\n \u201cThe score was 6 to 7, and I go, \u2018Six seven!\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cAnd Mila looked at me like this\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Hager mimicked her daughter\u2019s icy glare, adding, \u201cAfterwards, I was frozen out. I went to one volleyball game this year.\u201d<\/p>\n She\u2019s hoping for a comeback next season \u2014 with a lower profile.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I\u2019m gonna be unfrozen for next year,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m just not gonna try to be the center of attention.\u201d<\/p>\n Hager told co-host Sheinelle Jones that even her son Hal, 6, has asked her not to cheer too loud. NBC<\/p>\n Mila isn\u2019t the only one calling the shots. Hager revealed her youngest, 6-year-old Hal, has also had enough of her game-day energy.<\/p>\n \u201cNow on the flag football field, Hal\u2019s all like, \u2018Don\u2019t cheer. You\u2019re too loud, Mom,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Hager, who shares Mila, 10-year-old Poppy and Hal with husband Henry Hager<\/a>, insists her sideline spirit comes naturally.<\/p>\n Hager and husband Henry Hager with their children Mila, Poppy and Hal in 2023.

I knew how to do everything, so I\u2019m kind of a sports kid.\u201d<\/p>\n Her father, former president George W. Bush<\/a>, was part of the ownership group for the Texas Rangers from 1989 to 1998 before entering the White House in 2001, helping shape her early love of the game.<\/p>\n Hager with her dad, former president George W.
