On Sunday, Hoda, 58, shared the most recent family photo on her Instagram account.
The snapshot showed the Today anchor’s mother, Sameha, posing on the beach with her granddaughters, Haley, six, and Hope, four.
Sameha took in the summer sun in a breezy, purple tank top and rolled up her pants to feel the ocean water on her feet and ankles.
Haley and Hope donned matching floral-print bathing suits and identical bright pink sunhats as they played near the shoreline.
All three took a break from their activities to smile for the photo.
Hoda captioned the post: “My fav pix of summer— my girls and my mom.”
In the comment section, one person wrote: “Your mom has the same contagious smile you do.”
Another fan agreed, writing: “Mom and your girls have that same beautiful, infectious smile!!”
While a third commenter stated: “Awww…it’s obvious where you get your lovely smile from!”
As mentioned, the former Dateline NBC correspondent was spotted posing with her daughters while celebrating the Fourth of July last Tuesday.
“Happy 4th,” Hoda captioned a photo of Haley and Hope, who were clad in bike gear and sitting atop their bikes.
The girls wore red tie-dye shirts with American flag heart designs.
They also had red, white, and blue pom-poms on their bikes.
Hoda wore her hair up and was seen smiling off to the side, proud of her daughters.
She chose to wear a navy striped shirt, which she paired with red, white, and blue beads.
In another snap, Hoda was seen snuggling close to her daughters.
She grinned widely at the camera, wearing a headband with “YAY” and “USA” lettering on top.
The girls clung to their mom, clearly smitten.
PINK LADY
Meanwhile, Hoda showed off her trim figure in a hot pink outfit ahead of Kim Petras’s live concert.
Pop star Kim Petras joined the Today hosts to discuss her upcoming debut album.
She also celebrated Pride weekend in New York City.
Hoda and the rest of Today’s on-camera crew chatted with her about her career.
Today’s official Twitter account shared a clip from the event.
The tweet was captioned: “@kimpetras is talking all about her debut album, how she’s celebrating Pride weekend in NYC, and learning English from Britney Spears.”
Hoda sported a pink, tight-fitting jumpsuit.
She wore her hair down in her signature brown curls.
She also wore minimal makeup and jewelry.
The jumpsuit was so long that it trailed the ground.
SCHOOL’S OUT!
Hoda recently revealed a significant career move she planned to make before she went down a different path.
The news anchor opened up about her old plans on Thursday’s installment of the Just B podcast with Bethenny Frankel.
During the episode, Hoda talked about how her life has changed since adopting her two daughters.
After the 58-year-old admitted she didn’t think it was “possible” to become a mother at that point in her life, she reminisced over how different her life could’ve been if she didn’t.
“I always said I wanted to be a teacher, but I think I really wanted to be a teacher because I wanted kids,” the Today host confessed.
She then revealed that she had initially planned to leave her role at NBC to become a school teacher.
“I always said that when I’m done at NBC, I’m going to go be a teacher. And then one day I was like, I think being a teacher is amazing, but I think there was a need to do that because I couldn’t get close enough,” the TV personality explained.
Before landing her co-hosting gig on Today alongside Savannah Guthrie, 51, in January 2018, Hoda hosted the fourth hour of the morning program with her former co-host, Kathie Lee Gifford, 69.
The duo had co-hosted the program since 2007, and Hoda had also been a Dateline NBC correspondent since 1998.
But after host Matt Lauer was fired from the show following a MeToo scandal, NBC executives proudly called Hoda to fill the spot.
The disgraced host – who had been an anchor on Today since 1997 – was booted due to many complaints of “inappropriate sexual behaviors in the workplace.”
