Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie are living proof that close friends are there for you in both the good and bad times.

The TODAY colleagues have developed a deep friendship over the years and they’ve seen each other through highs, like the births of several children, and lows, like the death of Jenna’s grandfather, George H. W. Bush.

When the former president passed away at the age of 94 in 2018, Savannah offered some much-needed comfort to her friend Jenna.

“When I lost my grandfather, she called and said, ‘Should we read the prayers at church this Sunday?’” Jenna said in a new video about her friendship with Savannah.

Jenna went on to explain how the sweet gesture made a meaningful impact on her.

“And I had already spoken at the National Cathedral, and I somehow held it together. But that day, reading these prayers that we wrote, including a prayer that he said about what the purpose of power is, which is to give back,” she said.

Having Savannah by her side during the emotional moment made a world of difference for Jenna.

“We were both, but mainly, I was in hysterics, and she held my back,” she said.

Looking back on their friendship thus far, Jenna applauded Savannah for supporting her through thick and thin.

“She’s made me a stronger person when I’ve gone through really hard things,” she said.

Meanwhile, Savannah said she and Jenna “clicked right away” when they first met in person.

“We have a similar sense of humor, but we also have a similar way of looking at the world,” she said.

Jenna echoed her friend’s sentiments and said, “There was something sort of in our DNA that spoke to each other. And I felt like, even though I was meeting her for the first time, I’d known her for many, many years.”

Faith has always been a cornerstone of Jenna and Savannah’s friendship, which is why they both bestowed very important honors on each other.

“When Jenna asked me to be (her son) Hal’s godmother, I just felt so special. I mean, it’s the greatest compliment a person could receive,” Savannah said.

“It made perfect sense that the person that I speak to faith most about would be in his life to help shape him in that way,” Jenna noted.

Savannah later asked Jenna to be her daughter Vale’s godmother, a moment Jenna described as “really beautiful.”

“I know she knows what it means to me. I also wanted to just say to Jenna, ‘You’re one of my closest friends, and I am handing you my heart because my little girl is my heart,’” Savannah said.

Now Savannah and Jenna’s friendship is multigenerational since their daughters Vale and Mila are close pals.

“We’ve raised our kids together. They have like a sister relationship, almost,” Jenna said.

Savannah said Jenna is “like a sister in every way” to her and makes her “laugh every single day.”

“I think we both understand that fun is underrated and that joy is a choice and so we choose to laugh,” Jenna added.
