Hoda Kotb is spending time with family.
The former Today co-anchor, 60, shared an Instagram post on Saturday, April 12, in which she could be seen posing for a selfie with her two daughters — Hope Catherine, 6, and Haley Joy, 9 — plus sister Hala.
“Full moon… full hearts xo,” Kotb wrote in her caption.
In the image, the girl group smiled while on a beach at night, as a bright, full moon could be seen in the sky behind them. Kotb shared the photo on the same day that marked Hope’s birthday.

Kotb’s eldest daughter was born in February 2017. Two years later, she announced in April 2019 that she had adopted her second child. (The proud mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, which left her unable to conceive.)
The TV journalist shares Haley and Hope with her ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. The former couple called off their engagement in early 2022.
On an episode of PEOPLE’s Me Becoming Mom podcast in 2021, Kotb reflected on how she talks to her girls about them being adopted.
“I tell them they were adopted, and I’m not sure if they 100% know what that means,” she admitted. “I always say, ‘You didn’t come from Mommy’s tummy, you came from my heart.’ And they understand that.”

Kotb’s family getaway comes weeks after her departure from the Today show. The former co-anchor shared her plans to remain on staff in a reduced role in September 2024, before leaving months later.
“My daughters and my mom need and deserve a bigger slice of my time pie,” she said in a letter to her NBC colleagues at the time.
Both Haley and Hope appeared on their mom’s final Today broadcast on Jan. 10, when they were joined by Kermit the Frog.
He serenaded the children with “Rainbow Connection” — the same song that Kotb sings to her daughters at bedtime each night.
