This Tuesday, August 27, the two of them had a lively conversation about childhood memories, home decor, and yes, even some quirky obsessions.

Hoda’s Exciting Move and Her Daughters’ New Rooms
At 60 years young, Hoda is in the midst of a big life change—moving into a new home with her daughters, Haley and Hope. As she shared with Jenna, the whole family is buzzing with excitement about the move. “They’re thrilled to have their own rooms,” Hoda said, beaming with joy. “It’s like they’re designing their little worlds. They want a comfy reading chair, a beanbag chair, and of course, their cozy beds. It’s all about creating a space that feels uniquely theirs.”
Hoda went on to explain how her daughters are so invested in their new spaces. “They’re imagining these little nooks where they can escape, relax, and just be themselves. It’s heartwarming to see them get so excited about something as simple as a beanbag chair,” she added, laughing at the thought of how much fun her kids are having with their new setup.

Jenna’s Reflections on Growing Up with Shared Rooms
Jenna, now 42, chimed in with her own experiences as a mom of three—Mila, Poppy, and Hal. She shared a relatable story about how her kids used to share rooms before moving into their current home. “At first, it was awesome. They bonded over the shared space, but eventually, they started butting heads,” Jenna admitted. “Once they each had their own rooms, it was like magic. Now, they even choose to sleep together sometimes. It’s the best of both worlds, really.”
Jenna’s story resonated with so many parents who’ve dealt with the same challenges. The balance between giving kids their own space while still fostering a sense of togetherness is something every parent can relate to. Her kids’ newfound independence has clearly brought a new dynamic to their family life.
Decorating Throwbacks: What Was on the Walls?
As the conversation shifted to childhood bedroom decor, the co-hosts took a trip down memory lane. Hoda opened up about her eclectic taste as a kid. “Oh, I had this bizarre combination of Barry Manilow and Erik Estrada posters on my wall. It sounds strange now, but I loved them both,” she confessed. “And let’s not forget the sports trophies, Fred Flintstone sheets, and Snoopy-themed bedding. It was a little chaotic, but it was mine!”
Hoda continued, reminiscing about her love for stuffed animals. “I had a whole collection of them. I’d line them up like they were part of some grand parade. There was nothing better than diving into bed surrounded by my favorite Peanuts characters. It was pure happiness.”
Jenna’s take on her childhood bedroom was a little more subdued. “Mine was pretty simple. I remember the windows, the fence outside, and my cat Cowboy always perched up there,” she recalled. “I had this cozy chair where I’d sit by the air conditioner and write in my journal or create little stories. It was my little sanctuary.”
When asked about posters, Jenna wasn’t quite sure. “My room wasn’t very big, mostly windows, and I had a bookshelf filled with books. And let’s not forget my deep love for Barbie—yes, even until I was 22. I know, it sounds a little odd, but hey, we all have our quirks!”

A Playful Banter Session
Hoda couldn’t resist a good laugh at Jenna’s confession. “Yeah, that was your big thing—Barbie until 22. Very odd,” she teased. Jenna shot back with a playful response, “Well, you had all those stuffed animals!” Their banter was pure gold, showcasing their undeniable chemistry and humor.
This playful exchange came just after Hoda made a lighthearted jab about Jenna’s personal style during the previous day’s episode. The two discussed their “signature” styles, with Jenna noting that Hoda had a “signature scent.” Hoda responded by saying, “I think your style is your signature—easy breezy yet sophisticated. But also, it seems like you don’t care too much.”
Jenna, ever the witty one, replied, “Is that because I have mustard spilled right here?” The whole studio erupted in laughter, proving once again that these two know how to keep things fun and engaging.
