There’s nothing quite like watching someone step into a new chapter of life with joy and excitement. Hoda Kotb, the beloved cohost of Today With Hoda & Jenna, recently made an announcement on the show that left fans smiling ear to ear. She’s diving headfirst into her new suburban lifestyle, complete with all the trimmings — and it’s clear she couldn’t be happier.
Minivan Dreams Become Reality
During a recent episode of Today, Hoda, 60, couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared some big news with viewers. “Guys, I’m getting a minivan! A Toyota Sienna!” she exclaimed with a grin that lit up the screen. For anyone who knows Hoda, this isn’t just about buying a car — it’s about embracing the lifestyle that comes with it. “I’ve wanted a Toyota Sienna for such a long time,” she gushed. “You press the buttons, hear that satisfying click, and watch the doors glide open with that woosh sound. It’s like magic!”
“Let me explain why this is such a big deal,” Hoda continued. “For me, owning a minivan is like fulfilling a dream. I’ve always wanted one, but life just didn’t take me there until now. Plus, let’s be real — I’m sometimes the carpool mom. With my current setup, I can only fit three kids because there’s no extra room. Not anymore! I cannot wait to have the space for everyone and everything.”

Jenna Bush Hager Celebrates Her Friend’s New Adventure
Sitting beside her at the news desk, Jenna Bush Hager, 42, beamed with pride for her close friend. “You know, Hoda has this incredible ability to fall in love with things so deeply,” Jenna began. “When she moved to the suburbs, I thought maybe she’d resist the change a little, like most people do. But not Hoda. She dove right in, embracing every aspect of suburban life — from the PTA meetings to Tupperware parties. And now, here we are — celebrating her dream minivan!”
Hoda chimed in, her enthusiasm contagious. “Exactly! The minivan represents the best part of it all. I can’t wait to push those buttons, watch the kids climb in, load up the sports gear in the back, and have room for all the stuff that comes with raising a family. It’s more than just a vehicle; it’s a symbol of this new chapter in my life.”
Jenna responded with heartfelt admiration. “Hoda, you’re truly living the American dream, and I couldn’t be happier for you. This is such a beautiful moment, and it shows how much joy you bring to everything you do.”
A New Chapter in the Suburbs
Just a few months ago, Hoda made the bold decision to move out of bustling New York City and into the peaceful suburbs with her two daughters, Haley and Hope. As the author of You Are My Happy, she’s been adjusting to her quieter surroundings while preparing for her eventual departure from Today. In a recent interview with E! News on October 25, Hoda revealed her daily routine in her new neighborhood. “In my town, there’s a 5:30 a.m. SoulCycle class that I’m excited to join,” she said. “Afterward, I’ll head home, feed my kids breakfast, and make a coffee to go in my trusty Yeti mug.”
She added, “Then, I’ll walk my kids down these picturesque streets to their school, giving them a kiss goodbye. It’s a simple but incredibly fulfilling routine, and I’m so grateful for it.”
Hoda’s family celebrated their first Halloween in their new suburban home on October 31, capturing the joyous occasion on her Instagram page. Wearing a playful pumpkin onesie, she showed off her creativity and fun-loving spirit, proving that she’s truly embraced her new surroundings.

“She couldn’t be happier about it,” an insider revealed to Closer. “Hoda had no say in the decision, but she genuinely believes Craig is a fantastic choice. It’s a new chapter for everyone, and she’s excited to see where this journey takes them all.”
