TODAY’S Hoda Kotb has teared up as she captured a sweet moment between her co-host Dylan Dreyer and her young son.
Dylan, 42, took to Instagram earlier this week to share a video of her teaching her three-year-old son Oliver how to ride a bicycle.

She revealed that Hoda, 59, was behind the camera, which captured Dylan guiding her little one on the two-wheeler down a residential street.
Oliver – who Dylan shares with her husband, Brian Fichera, along with her two other sons, Calvin, six, and Rusty, one – first focused on the pedals before seemingly gaining confidence in his abilities and watching the road in front of him.
The Today Show meteorologist held the back of the bike to start and eventually let go when she saw the tot had the hang of it.
She could barely contain her excitement as she watched her little boy steer the bike on his own.
Oliver stopped after venturing a few feet, and his proud mom praised him for his major achievement while Hoda could be heard sniffling in the background.
Dylan captioned the video: “@hodakotb capturing one of the best moments in a child’s life…learning to ride a bike!! Way to go Ollie!! You got this!!”
FANS’ REACTIONS
Fans commented on the touching mother-son moment and the special bond between Dylan and Hoda.
“How much do we love that Hoda captured this?” one person wrote.
“Lol I thought was Brian at first! I thought he’s really getting emotional,” another replied, mentioning Dylan’s husband.
“So sweet to have it captured and by such a dear friend! Love this so much!” gushed a third.
“Love that Hoda’s there. So special,” one more noted.
SPECIAL BOND
Hoda seems to have a tight friendship with most of her Today colleagues, as they often get together outside the studio.
On September 10, Hoda gathered with her co-hosts, Savannah Guthrie, 51; Craig Melvin, 44; and Al Roker, 69, to watch the New York Giants at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Savannah shared photos from the outing, showing the group wearing matching orange jerseys with the word Today and a number on the front.
They smiled for the camera while standing on the sidelines of the football field.
Dylan and their other co-hosts, Sheinelle Jones, 45, and Carson Daly, 50, did not attend the game.
Hoda also regularly takes trips away from Studio 1A with her Today with Hoda & Jenna co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, 41.
Earlier this month, the ladies announced that their new Trippin’ segment will take them to Bermuda in the coming weeks.
They also revealed that they were bringing a lucky Today viewer along with them.
WHERE’D THEY GO?
The hosts appeared to be on rotation the last few weeks as each anchor took separate breaks to close the summer.
During a live broadcast on September 6, Hoda suddenly exited the show, which she revealed was for a sweet reason.
“Hoda, you’re on the run. It’s the first day of school,” Savannah commented.
“Taking my kids to school! Okay, can I leave right now? Bye!” Hoda replied as she hurried off the stage.
Hoda is a mom to two kids: Haley Joy, six, and Hope Catherine, four.
Savannah made the same move the following day, about 30 minutes into the program, leaving Craig to fill in.
