A Rare Behind-the-Scenes Look at Morning Joe Co-Hosts
Every day on Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough share their sharp insights and opinions with millions of viewers. But outside the show, they tend to keep their personal lives pretty private. That’s why it was such a treat when Mika, 57, recently gave fans a peek into her and Joe's world through an Instagram post. This isn’t just your typical selfie—it’s a candid moment that shows the real, unfiltered side of these two powerhouse personalities.
In her post, Mika shared a photo of herself and Joe getting ready for another day of work. The caption read, “556 am never looked so good 😂🥹😂😂😂😂 perhaps time off is in order #lastbitsofsummer #summer #work.” It was a lighthearted nod to the long hours and dedication that go into hosting one of the most watched morning shows. And honestly, who can resist a good laugh at 5 a.m.?
From Pajamas to Plaid: A Morning Routine Like No Other
The photo itself was a far cry from the polished, professional looks we’re used to seeing on-screen. Mika sported rollers in her hair, blue pajamas, and slippers, while Joe rocked a blazer paired with red and black plaid pajama pants and his iconic glasses. It’s moments like these that remind us how human they are behind the scenes. Who would have thought the same people who debate politics with such intensity could also pull off such a relaxed vibe?

One commenter joked, “Suit jacket, tie and pajama bottoms…gotta love it.” It’s clear that fans appreciate seeing this playful side of Mika and Joe.

She went on to express her appreciation for the tranquility of their getaway, mentioning the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, including her daughters Carlie and Emilie, whom she shares with her ex-husband Jim Hoffer. “Nothing like Joe and a 360 view mini island getaway. And always love seeing Chief’s boat,” she added, reflecting on cherished memories with her family.
