In the pic, the show’s producer, Kelsey Murphy, flashed her diamond engagement ring at the camera while posing with her co-workers inside the studio.
The group consisted of Gavin Shulman, Donna Farizan, and Meredith Reis, who also work behind the scenes on Hoda and Jenna, hosted by Hoda Kotb, 58, and Jenna Bush Hager, 41.
In the caption, the crew boasted about Kelsey’s happy news, which they discussed on their Happy Hour segment earlier this week.
“It’s a love filled Happy Hour with a truly tissue-worthy TODAY engagement. The all new episode now streaming on the @siriusxm app.”
Fans raced to the comments to congratulate the bride-to-be, with one writing: “This episode made me teary-eyed. I love hearing love stories!”
Another echoed the statement: “I cried the whole time!!” while many others left a slew of red heart emojis.
Before Hoda takes her seat alongside her co-host, Jenna, each morning, she co-hosts the beginning of the show with Savannah Guthrie, 51.
Their colleagues, Craig Melvin, 43, Sheinelle Jones, 45, Dylan Dreyer, 41, Carson Daly, 49, and Al Roker, 68, often join the duo.
SNUBBED
Despite the group contribution, not everyone was featured in a new ad for the show, released earlier this week.
After Savannah shared the video on Instagram, viewers immediately noticed that Sheinelle, Jenna, and Dylan were snubbed from the commercial.
The ad started with the words: “Every day needs a” to prompt the hosts to complete the sentence.
Then, Savannah and Hoda walked onto the screen, and Hoda drew the word: “Spark.”
Savannah then drew a lightbulb.
The next scene had Al, Savannah, and Hoda standing under a drawn umbrella.
“Every day needs a smile,” the following statement read.
After that, Craig drew a shining sun, and Carson made a person holding a Today show sign.
“Every day needs a good start” was the next slogan.
The five hosts then drew the Today Show symbol and stood before their drawings while the words: “Every day needs Today” flashed on the screen.
Fans were surprised that Sheinelle, Dylan, and Jenna did not appear in the ad, as they each play an important role on the show.
Dylan and Sheinelle are part of Today’s third hour, and both often fill in for the main anchors in their absence.
And Jenna hosts the fourth hour with Hoda on their show.
ERASED FROM HISTORY
The three women weren’t the only ones erased from an important video lately.
Last week, the Today show celebrated 70 years on the air.
The hosts received a special montage video, and fired host Matt Lauer, 65, was left out.
They also discovered that the show won a Peabody Award, making it the first daytime show to earn the major award.
As Savannah, Hoda, Carson, Al, Sheinelle, and Jenna sat on the couch, they reminisced and shared memories of the morning show.
After giving the introduction, the show aired a segment with hosts past and present.
Everyone appeared in the video, from Barbara Walters to Katie Couric to Willard Scott to Bryant Gumbel to present-day hosts.
Matt Lauer did not appear in the segment.
One fan took to Twitter to comment: “Where is Matt Lauer?”
Dylan was also excluded from that segment, as she was on vacation then.
