Let’s dive into the heart of it all—Jenna Bush Hager might’ve pondered expanding her family, but she’s come to terms with the fact that baby No. 4 is likely not in the cards for her. It’s a bittersweet realization, and she shared her thoughts candidly on a recent episode of Today With Jenna & Friends.

Savannah Guthrie's Dream Sparks a Candid Conversation

Savannah Guthrie, the ever-enthusiastic co-host, joined Jenna on the Monday, March 3, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. During the show, Savannah revealed that she had a dream where Jenna was expecting her fourth child. Now, Savannah, who’s always full of energy and humor, couldn’t resist teasing Jenna about it. “Is there something you’re not telling us?” Savannah joked, a twinkle in her eye.

Jenna, with a laugh, quickly put those rumors to rest. “I have nothing to announce,” she said, leaning back with a smile. “I’m pretty sure I’ve come to terms that three, even though it’s an imperfect number, is the perfect number for our house.”

Meet Jenna’s Three Little Blessings

Jenna shares her life with her husband, Henry Chase Hager, and their three delightful children: Mila Hager, 11, Poppy Hager, 9, and Hal Hager, 5. These little ones bring immense joy to Jenna and Henry’s lives, and it seems that their family is complete just the way it is.

Savannah Understands the Broody Feeling

Savannah empathized with Jenna’s feelings, acknowledging that it’s perfectly normal to feel a little broody. “You’re kind of broody for a third or a fourth,” Savannah said with a knowing smile. She then went on to share her own experience, “I would have had a third in a heartbeat, but, you know, I was up against the clock.”

Savannah, who is a mother to two wonderful children, daughter Vale Feldman, 10, and son Charley Feldman, 8, knows the joy and challenges of parenting all too well. She shares her life with her husband, Michael Feldman.

The bond between Jenna and Savannah is undeniable. They’re not just co-hosts; they’re close friends and godmothers to each other’s children. Recently, they shared a touching moment on camera when Jenna praised Savannah’s parenting style. “I’m so lucky to be her godmother,” Jenna said, her voice filled with emotion. “But I’m so proud of her because you know everything you’ve given to them, all of your faith that you’ve passed on so gently, are in those little kids. And when the world feels dark, that is hope.”

Jenna has always been open about her family life, and she recently addressed concerns about her marriage after fans noticed she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring while hosting the show. “I’m not wearing one now because I broke my finger, but don’t worry, I’ve seen some of the comments, Henry and I are still very happily married,” Jenna reassured her fans during the February 26 episode of Today With Jenna & Friends.

Back in August 2024, Jenna shared a funny yet slightly unsettling story about losing her lucky necklace, which she believed caused a string of misfortunes, including a black eye and breaking her ring finger. “And I said that to Mila, I said, ‘I’ve had some misfortunes and maybe it’s because I’ve lost my lucky necklace,’ and she said, ‘Well, were you so stressed after you lost the necklace?’ and I said, ‘No!’ Well, not until all the bad things started happening!” Jenna explained with a laugh.

Jenna’s Perspective on Parenting

In January, Jenna gave an update on her parenting journey, sharing that Mila is a “sweet” and “empathetic” tween. Jenna and Henry, like all parents, have their ups and downs when it comes to raising their kids. “Parenting was hard last night. Henry’s like, ‘Wow, parenting is really hard,’ Jenna told Parade. “And it is. But yeah, of course. I hope that the way Henry and I treat people is rubbed off, you know? And she witnesses that, but she’s a good kid. All of them are. They’re all wild, too, but they’re good.”
