Hoda Kotb Takes Leave of Absence From Today Show After Daughter Hope’s Hospitalization

Hoda Kotb is taking a much-needed break this week, as she has taken her daughters on a spring break vacation. The exact destination is unknown, but one can only hope it is somewhere warm! NBC will be airing pre-recorded episodes of Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager’s hour of “Today” until March 26. Kotb is an incredibly dedicated mother to her two daughters, whom she adopted, and recently shared her feelings of being undeserving of them. She now knows that she is worthy and that she will nurture and love them for as long as she can.
