Hoda’s enthusiastic response, “I like it! I like it!” underscored the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two co-hosts.
This lively exchange came just days after Hoda and Jenna shared some of their biggest dating regrets. Hoda admitted, “One of the things I used to want when I met someone was, ‘Does he like me? I so hope he likes me.’ Not, like, ‘This is who I am.’” She went on to explain, “You can be the juiciest orange in the bunch, but some people don’t like oranges. I can’t help you if you don’t like oranges, I’m that.”
Hoda’s Journey After Her Breakup
Since her split from ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, with whom she shared a nearly decade-long relationship, Hoda has been navigating the dating world with renewed optimism. The couple, who welcomed two adopted daughters, Haley and Hope, decided to call it quits in 2022 after postponing their wedding multiple times due to the pandemic.
Hoda, author of the heartwarming memoir Hope Is a Rainbow, has taken this new chapter in her life as an opportunity to embrace dating with a fresh perspective. Offering advice to others who may be in a similar situation, she shared, “If you sit in your house and order Domino’s Pizza, you’re not meeting anybody. OK?”

You get one ride around the sun. You might as well go out and eat with someone. They’re paying, who cares? Like, go do it.”
