There’s nothing quite like family moments, and this one is truly heartwarming. Al Roker’s granddaughter, Sky Clara Laga, has been stealing hearts ever since she entered the world, and now she's made a special connection with one of Al's closest friends, Hoda Kotb. In a delightful new photo, the adorable 6-month-old Sky met Hoda for the very first time. The sweet moment was captured perfectly and shared by Al himself.
When Sky Met Auntie Hoda
On January 2, Al Roker posted a precious picture on Instagram that has the internet buzzing with joy. The caption reads, "When Sky met Auntie Hoda." In the photo, a beaming Hoda Kotb, 59, cradles baby Sky, who looks just as happy to be in the arms of her newfound "auntie." The photo not only highlights the bond between two beloved TV personalities but also shows the love that surrounds Sky as she grows up surrounded by such incredible people.
A Style Match Made in Heaven
The moment was made even more special because both Hoda and Sky were dressed to impress in matching denim jackets. Fans couldn’t help but notice the adorable coincidence. One commenter gushed, "Oh my gosh, does she have on a little jean jacket too?? So cute!!" It’s moments like these that remind us how small details can add so much charm to an already beautiful picture.

Hoda's Family Life
Hoda is no stranger to the joys of parenthood, having two young daughters of her own, Haley and Hope, whom she adopted during her relationship with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. In fact, she recently shared some festive photos from her New Year’s Eve celebration with her daughters on Instagram. But meeting Sky must have been the perfect way to start 2024, bringing a fresh wave of happiness into her life.
Al Roker has been over the moon since becoming a grandfather. Sky was born to Al's daughter, Courtney Roker, and her husband, Wesley Laga, back in July 2023. Since then, Al hasn’t stopped talking about the joy his granddaughter brings to his life. In a recent interview with People magazine, he shared his excitement about spending Christmas with Sky. "You know, there’s a new grandbaby. So that’s kind of exciting," said Al, 69. "It’s gonna be a different kind of Christmas. So, very excited."
Creating New Traditions
Al’s wife, Deborah Roberts, is equally thrilled about creating new family traditions with their grandchild. She explained, "I think for us, it’s really just family. It’s really all about family, and our family is so spread out that we don’t have to gather as much as we’d like to during the year. So, this year, it really is just about tight-knit.”
Al shares Courtney, 36, with his ex-wife, Alice Bell. He is also a proud father to two other children, Leila and Nicholas, whom he shares with Deborah, 63. On New Year’s Eve, the entire family came together for a special dinner at a restaurant, followed by watching the ball drop on TV. Al captioned a carousel of photos from the evening, saying, "No better ones to celebrate saying so long to 2023 and hello 2024. They are why I’m here.”
In the photos, Sky looked absolutely adorable in a sweet white dress, sitting comfortably in her grandpa’s lap at the table. Fans were quick to express their love for the sweet scene. One commenter noted, "Baby girl loves you." It’s clear that Sky has already become the center of attention in her family, and we can’t wait to see more heartwarming moments like this one.
