TODAY’s Sheinelle Jones has made some thirsty comments about an actor during a movie-centric segment.
On the June 7 episode, hosts Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, Al Roker, and Sheinelle chatted about a film called The Perfect Find, which releases next week.

The Perfect Find stars Gabrielle Union and follows a woman who has to risk her career, her biological clock, and her bank account to be with the “perfect” person for her.
Actor Keith Powers plays central charcter Eric in the film, and Sheinelle saw him for the first time and was clearly enamored.
“Oh, is that the son?” Sheinelle asked, when actor Keith came onscreen.
She giggled a bit.
“Come on, stop,” Al, sitting next to Sheinelle, urged.
Craig chided her, seemingly a little embarrassed: “What is wrong with you?”
Sheinelle couldn’t stop laughing at her colleagues’ reactions to her comments.
WHOOPS!
Meanwhile, Sheinelle Jones has found herself in an awkward moment while jumping rope during a fitness segment. During Monday’s episode of the Today Show, Nike master trainer Joe Holder stopped by for a Start Today segment to show off a few exercises.
Joe was on set to tell Sheinelle, Dylan Dreyer, and Al Roker about active recovery workouts to increase energy and reduce fatigue.
Joe asked everyone to jump rope first as Sheinelle began with the activity.
But as soon as she started, the 45-year-old found herself losing her battery pack.
“Oh no, my battery pack!” Sheinelle yelled as she had to stop jumping and fix the equipment that was connected to the back of her belt to make sure that it was secure.
TIME TO PARTY!
This comes after Sheinelle rushed off the Today show set without warning during an episode at the end of May.
The TV personality revealed the surprising reason for her exit after later resurfacing on the show following multiple missed segments.
A little ways into Thursday’s episode, Sheinelle helped honor the late Tina Turner after the singer’s passing.
After this segment, though, the host disappeared from set and did not take part in the morning show’s pop culture moment, PopStart.
All of her co-hosts – Carson Daly, Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Craig Melvin, and Dylan – sat on the PopStart couch without her.
Viewers then learned where she’d disappeared to about 10 minutes later when she resurfaced on the show for an outdoor segment.
DANCE DANCE
Sheinelle, meanwhile, revealed she was nearby reporting live from a massive morning dance party.
She was absent from the rest of the flagship edition of the morning show before rushing back to set to make it in time for her gig co-hosting Today Third Hour with Craig and Dylan.
The star was treated to a major surprise upon her return to the studio.
The hosts were stunned when their fellow co-star Al, who has been at home recovering from knee surgery, crashed a National Wine Day segment during the third hour of the morning show.
Sheinelle stood to the side of a table filled with wines and talked as Craig and Dylan stood behind it and sampled the products.
“Up next, the woman who may change the way you think about work/life balance. Her strategy-,” Sheinelle got cut off as Craig screamed and threw his hands up.
Sheinelle turned her head to her co-hosts and gave a frightened look.
Dylan put down her wine glass and screamed, as well, after seeing Al walk out onto set, cracking up as he walked to his colleagues with a cane.
