Emotions Run High as Hoda Talks About Moving
The post came at a poignant time for Hoda, who recently got emotional while discussing her upcoming move with her two daughters, Haley and Hope. At 59 years old, Hoda has spent years building a life full of love and memories in her current home, and now it’s time to say goodbye.
“I literally was sitting at my desk this morning, where I sit every single morning,” Hoda revealed to her co-star Jenna Bush Hager on Today With Hoda & Jenna on Monday, June 3. “I light a candle, I have my journal, I do my stuff. And I thought to myself, ‘This is the last Monday I’ll be sitting at this desk,’ because we’re moving this week.”
Cherishing Memories with Her Daughters
As Hoda reflected on her decision to move, she couldn’t help but think about the countless memories she’s created with her daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, in the home where she raised them. While she shares custody of her girls with her ex-fiancé, Joel Schiffman, the bond they share is undeniable.
“I remember them trying to crawl up the stairs and I remember, now, how they race up and down,” Hoda said, her voice filled with nostalgia. “And I was thinking about the very first time we brought them home and carried them up those stairs in that car seat and placed them in a little thing and all the things that happened there. And I was looking through old videos of them, when they were so little, and it’s like you want to hold onto things and you want to let go.”
“And when I saw these videos of them when they were kids, little babies, I can’t believe I have a 7 and a 5-year-old,” the proud mom recalled. “And I can’t believe all those memories. … There were so many things that we have built there.”
