In an interview with People, Jenna opened up a bit about herself and her personality.
“I don’t worry about what I share about myself. Frankly, I am a pretty open book,” she told the magazine.
Jenna has spoken recently about a wide variety of somewhat NSFW topics on Today with Hoda & Jenna.
That included having “hanky panky” at the White House when her father George W. Bush was in office.
She also talks about sensitive women’s health topics.
Speaking of Jenna’s confidence and not being afraid to go there, Hoda had quite the reaction.
“When I watched her drop those bombs on the desk, I was like, ‘Girl, what are you doing?’” she said of Jenna in the People article.
“But she’s unabashedly herself. People spend their whole lives trying to get there, and she is exactly who she is.”
HODA PHONE!
Meanwhile, Hoda has been left in shock after a co-star made an amazing on-set announcement.
Today Radio star Holly Palmieri revealed that she is expecting her second child with her husband, Alfred.
On Monday, the radio correspondent announced to Hoda and Savannah Guthrie that she is pregnant once again.
“You’re in your pink and blue. You look like you’re at a Gender Reveal party,” Holly told the hosts as they sat at the desk.
“Gender Reveal,” Savannah laughed. “Two ladies! Cat’s out of the bag for us.”
However, Savannah and Hoda turned serious as Holly rubbed her stomach and said: “Cat’s out of the bag for a lot of us.”
“What?!” Savannah asked while Hoda’s mouth dropped and she sat in silence.
After a few seconds, Hoda asked: “Are you pregnant?”
The hosts then cheered and hugged Holly, as she revealed she does not know the baby’s sex yet.
“You know what I love? You can put 10 pounds on in 10 weeks here and everyone will act like they don’t notice,” Holly shared
“They actually don’t notice because everyone is up and down. Congratulations!” Hoda, 59, said.
Holly shared the other Today hosts’ reactions to the post as well in a now-expired Stories post to her Instagram.
She captioned it: “New Today Show Radio correspondent, coming February 2024!”
NEWS SPREADS FAST
Holly’s other videos in the post featured the other Today hosts finding out about her pregnancy.
On the Listen Up! segment, Sheinelle Jones and Jenna Bush Hager found out last week.
“Well, more of the parenting podcast, I’ll be bringing these next few weeks,” Holly told the hosts as she rubbed her stomach.
Jenna, 41, and Sheinelle, 45, screeched and said: “What? You’re pregnant?”
“We just said you look beautiful! We had no idea,” Jenna asked.
“Well, sometimes you hide a maternity dress,” Holly said.
Holly then told Sheinelle and Jenna that she is due on Valentine’s Day.
“I love babies,” Sheinelle cried at the end.
The third video then featured Sheinelle and Craig Melvin.
“I heard something, but I didn’t want to ask… So, it’s true? Congratulations!” Craig said.
Holly then asked if being the parents of multiples was OK and Craig said it is different.
