Jenna Bush Hager's April Fools' Day Chaos: A Family Prank Gone Wild

Jenna Bush Hager's 3 Kids: All About Mila, Poppy and Hal

Alright, buckle up because this is one story you don’t want to miss. Jenna Bush Hager’s house turned into a comedy club (and a bit of a disaster zone) on April Fools’ Day. The beloved cohost of "Today" spilled the beans—or should I say, warmed beans—on her family’s prank-filled escapades during an episode aired on Tuesday, April 2. Tears, chaos, and toilet humor? Oh, yes, it was all there.

Hoda Kotb Was Curious: What Happened at Jenna's House?

Her cohost, the ever-curious Hoda Kotb, couldn’t help but ask Jenna what went down with her kids, Mila, Poppy, and Hal, whom she shares with her husband, Henry Hager. Jenna, who’s 42 and still rocking the mom life with style, had a story that was equal parts hilarious and chaotic. Let me break it down for you.

First, let’s talk about Jenna’s genius—or maybe not so genius—plan. “Well, first—and this was all my idea—I got Hal, who’s 4, and we warmed some beans up in the microwave,” Jenna said, laughing at the memory. “I was trying to channel my inner George Clooney. Hal was supposed to go to bed, but we decided to wait for Henry to come home. I even set the stage by telling Henry, ‘Everything’s fine, but Hal’s stomach isn’t great. Not great.’”

    Here’s how the prank was supposed to go down. Jenna placed the warmed beans in a small cup. “Hal practiced this multiple times,” she explained. “He was all set to run into the room, screaming, ‘Ouch, Daddy! My stomach hurts! Oh no, I pooped my pants!’ And then he was supposed to wipe it on Henry.”

    But, as they say, the best-laid plans often go awry. “So, we had it all planned out. Hal was like, ‘It’s go time, it’s go time!’ He ran in, screaming about his stomach and wiping the beans all over Henry’s clothes. But guess what? It didn’t work. Henry was like, ‘Dude, these are…’” Jenna trailed off, laughing at the memory. “But that wasn’t even the craziest part,” she added, pulling out her phone to show a photo of the toilet wrapped in cellophane by her 10-year-old, Mila.

    Now, here’s where things got really interesting. Henry, 45, walked into the bathroom and, well, let’s just say he fell for the cellophane toilet prank. Jenna had to call Mila in and say, “Now you need to clean up a 45-year-old man’s…” before Hoda, 59, chimed in with her classic humor, “Pee pee?”

    But the pranks didn’t stop there. Jenna decided to go for one last round, telling her kids that their cat Hollywood was pregnant with Mango’s kittens. “They totally fell for it,” Jenna said, laughing. “When I told them it wasn’t true, there were tears. They thought they were going to have kittens. So, yeah, it was quite the April Fools’ Day.”

    Hoda’s Final Thoughts: Delete April Fools' Day?

    Hoda couldn’t help but weigh in. “We really need to delete April Fools’ Day. It was not a good day. But, you know what? That poop prank was the best one,” she said, laughing along with Jenna.
