Jenna Bush Hager: Opening up for the First Time about the Pressure of being labeled the “White House princess” – Her journey winning over Today Show audiences says it all!
Bearing the heavy Bush name, Jenna joined Today in 2009, shedding the “White House princess” image through humor, honesty and sometimes clumsy charm.
Few know how, in college, she endured brutal tabloids targeting her partying, love life and looks.
In 2019, Jenna replaced Kathie Lee Gifford in the fourth hour, bringing fresh energy.
She later admitted: “It took years to stop feeling like I had to be perfect to please the public.” Her quote: “Perfect is boring.” – a quiet healing after years under scrutiny.
