Jenna Bush Hager’s Share Came Out As She Opened Up About A Recent Project On Today
Jenna first joined Today in 2009 as a correspondent. In 2019, she became a co-host on the show’s fourth hour, working alongside Hoda Kotb and later Sheinelle Jones.
Throughout her time with the show, Jenna has covered a lot of high-profile stories. Today viewers have seen her sit down to interview Queen Camilla and living presidents, including her father, George W. Bush.
However, Jenna recently had a share about her family. During Today with Jenna & Sheinelle, she admitted that she feels she needs to spend time with her daughter, Poppy.
Jenna shared that she was especially busy because of her work on a new television show, with her recently sharing that she was working on an NBC pilot. She shared, “I’ve been working a lot because this has been shooting [a pilot], and I’ve had these big interviews and all the book stuff, and so this morning when I woke up, I thought, ‘Okay, the next couple weeks, the next couple months, it’s kid-focused.’”
Jenna Found Words Of Comfort With Her Co-Host, Sheinelle Jones
Speaking with Sheinelle Jones, Jenna shared, “I’m like, ‘How can I show up for Poppy in a way….’” She then broke off, getting emotional before adding, “Now I’m crying. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It’s ‘cause I haven’t been able to…”
Jones took it upon herself to comfort her co-star. She noted, “We can’t do it all at the same time.” She also praised Jenna for all that she does as a parent, noting, “You just had a whole Mommy & Me thing. And that was amazing!”
Jenna continued, “I know, but it wasn’t with Poppy. Anyway, she’s coming. We’re okay. Should I lay [down]?” She then pretended she was lying down in a therapist’s office. However, Sheinelle remained reassuring, adding, “You guys, we just had a moment collectively, but it’s okay.” She ultimately noted, “We can’t do it all at once.”
