Hoda Kotb Contemplates Expanding Her Family: Is There Room For More Love?

Hoda Kotb: Adopting baby No. 3 has been ' really slow'

Let's talk about Hoda Kotb, the beloved Today show co-host and mom of two. This incredible woman, who’s already juggling her career and raising two adorable kids, might just be thinking about welcoming more little ones into her life. During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show on January 29, the host asked Hoda, “Do you think you’ll have more kids, or do you think two is the perfect number?” The 55-year-old replied with a smile, “Honestly, I’m not entirely sure yet.”

Listening for Signs: Hoda's Journey to Decide

Hoda explained that she’s someone who believes deeply in signs. She’s always on the lookout for little nudges from the universe to guide her decisions. “I’m a sign person,” she shared with Ellen and her audience. “I always look for signs to help me know when the timing is right.” But here’s the thing—Hoda has come to realize that she has so much more love to give, which might mean the time to expand her family could be sooner rather than later.

“Here’s what happened,” Hoda continued, opening up about her inner reflections. “I was sitting there, scribbling in my journal, asking myself this very question. I wrote, ‘I’m wondering if we should consider having more kids?’ Then I asked myself, ‘Do we have enough love?’ And you know what I wrote? ‘Yes.’” She paused and smiled, adding, “I asked, ‘Do we have enough time?’ And again, I wrote, ‘Yes.’ Finally, I asked, ‘Would our family be even more enhanced by adding another child?’ And my answer was, ‘Yes.’”

    Hoda went on to explain the emotional reason behind her consideration. “When you become a parent later in life, like me, you start to think about the future for your kids. Watching Haley and Hope together, all I really want is for them to have someone to hold their hand forever,” she revealed. “That’s it. That’s all I want. I want them to always feel connected and loved, and maybe adding another child could help make that happen.”

    Hoda, alongside her fiancé Joel Schiffman, already shares two beautiful daughters: Haley Joy, who is 2 years old, and baby Hope Catherine. Joel, who’s 61, also has a 25-year-old daughter named Kyle Schiffman from a previous relationship. Kyle couldn’t be happier about Hoda becoming her stepmom. “She’s just unbelievable, and I’m so excited to officially call her my stepmom. She’s the absolute best,” Kyle gushed to Closer Weekly.
