Capturing Moments of Joy Before the Weekend
There’s nothing quite like taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life to enjoy some quality time together. That’s exactly what Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski and her husband, Joe Scarborough, did as they spent some time cruising on the water ahead of the weekend. It’s moments like these that remind us to pause and appreciate the little things in life.
Sharing a glimpse of their adventure, Mika, 57, posted a charming update on her Instagram page. “Cruising thru the week #usa #freedom #we❤️america,” she captioned the post on Thursday, August 22. Her words perfectly captured the essence of their day, blending patriotism with personal joy.
Selfies and Style on the Water
In the first photo, Mika and Joe, 61, shared a candid selfie that showcased their relaxed vibes. Both talk show co-hosts opted for casual, comfy attire for their day out on the water—hooded sweatshirts that kept them cozy while enjoying the breeze. Mika accessorized with a pair of sunglasses perched stylishly on top of her head, while Joe completed the look with a classic baseball cap. It’s these small details that make their outing feel so relatable and down-to-earth.

A Day of Adventure Together
The second image revealed a more adventurous side of their outing. In it, Mika and Joe were seen sailing together on a boat, with Joe taking the helm and navigating their journey. Meanwhile, Mika stood proudly beside him, dressed in a bright yellow raincoat and blue rain boots, ready to tackle whatever the weather threw their way. It’s clear that their bond extends beyond the studio, as they embrace life’s adventures side by side.
Fans React with Love and Support
Of course, their fans were quick to respond, filling the comment section with heartfelt messages. One user playfully joked, “I don’t like when you go on vaca! Selfish me. I enjoy your perspectives every morning!” Another chimed in, “Love the pics!! Looks like you are having a great time!!!!” It’s moments like these that remind us how much their audience truly appreciates them, not just as hosts but as individuals who bring light and warmth into their lives.

A Love for the Water
For Mika and Joe, spending time by the water is more than just a pastime; it’s a cherished tradition. Mika inherited her beloved vacation home in Northeast Harbor, Maine, from her parents, making it a special place for her and her family. Her brother, Mark Brzezinski, spoke fondly of their childhood memories in an interview with the Mount Desert Islander in December 2020. “We started coming up when we [children] were very young, and the house became a North Star for my entire family,” he recalled. “When summer would roll around, we would think of Northeast Harbor and getting out to the islands and doing all the hikes and going on the carriage paths.”
Behind the Scenes: Tensions and Triumphs
While their recent photos showed a united front, sources revealed that tensions have been simmering behind the scenes on Morning Joe. “Spending every waking moment together is just too much,” an insider shared on August 9. “Their on-air bickering has escalated into full-blown fighting, and the cracks in their relationship are becoming more apparent.”
Despite these challenges, Joe has always been open about their ability to work through disagreements. During a SiriusXM appearance in August 2017, he admitted, “For me, the mistake always was I’m very driven at work, but I go home and I don’t want to fight. I’m passive aggressive. I’m sort of like, ‘Whatever you want to do.’ That’s really what I think hurt me in one relationship after another. And differences grow over a decade and things ultimately blow up. With Mika and me, we both learn you have to. If there’s a problem, put it on the table immediately. If it gets ugly, it gets ugly. You go there and you fight through it.”
As co-hosts of Morning Joe, their professional responsibilities have pushed them to resolve conflicts before going on air each morning. The two tied the knot in a private ceremony at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., in November 2018. Joe explained, “I’ll tell you, the blessing for us is, we always knew we had to take care of things by 6 a.m. the next morning. So we couldn’t go to sleep mad at each other, because Mika has the worst poker face in the history of television. She wears everything on her sleeve. I know if she goes on the air angry with me that everybody’s going to know.”
