In January, Paris and her husband Carter Reum welcomed their first child, son Phoenix, via surrogate.
While promoting her new memoir, Paris stopped by Today with Hoda and Jenna to chat about both her new book and her new baby.
Hoda, a mother of two, asked: “When you first held your baby, ‘cause that’s a moment that happens there’s only one first there, what was that like for you?”
Smiling, new mom Paris shared: “It was the most magical feeling.
“Just looking into his eyes and my heart was just melting at that point. It’s indescribable.”
“And talk about-,” Jenna began to say to Paris, before cutting herself off and turning to Hoda upon realizing her co-host was getting choked up.
Jenna asked: “Are you wanting to weep?”
“Yes, I am,” Hoda admitted, sounding choked up.
Just earlier that morning, Hoda had nearly broken down in tears during another celebrity interview.
On the flagship Today show, Savannah Guthrie and Hoda had on Jamie Lee Curtis, virtually, to discuss her recent Oscar win.
Before they got into the interview, however, Hoda had something personal to discuss.
She began: “I was opening packages in my apartment last night, all the Amazon stuff that you get, and Jamie Lee, I opened a package.
“And inside I saw two teddy bears and a beautiful My Hand in Yours that you had given to my girls.”
Hoda was speaking about Jamie’s brand of compassionate gifts, which she founded and sells products from, ranging from stuffed animals to signed photos.
The anchor continued, visibly emotional: “You said ‘I know it was scary, this is for your girls,’ from you.
“And I thought to myself, in the middle of her shining moment in her life, she is sending something to me and my kids.
“And I can’t tell you how touched and how beautiful I thought that was. And I just wanted to say thank you.”
Hoda began to break down in tears as Jamie told her: “You’re welcome.”
The actress continued: “Listen, I get it. It’s the hardest thing in the world. There’s nothing scarier in the world than a sick kid, and that’s why I made My Hand in Yours.”
