Jenna Bush Hager Misses ‘Today’ After Contracting Covid-19: ‘Feeling Super Grateful’  

Jenna Bush Hager is recovering after contracting Covid-19.

Hoda Kotb broke the news that her co-host had tested positive for the coronavirus when explaining why Jenna was missing from Wednesday’s “Today With Hoda & Jenna” taping.

“She’s doing great,” Hoda said on the show, while revealing why Jenna was absent.

The 40-year-old shares her children Mila, 8, Poppy, 6, and Hal, 2, with husband Henry Hager, and Hoda confirmed that Jenna isn’t the only member of the family who got sick.

“Her whole family has it. You know how it is, everyone gets it, they quarantine, and then 5 days later, everything’s going to be just fine,” Hoda shared. “I talked to her on the phone, she’s great, she’s feeling good.”

Jenna later addressed the diagnosis on her Instagram story.

“This is the face of a Covid+ Mama. We are all isolating and feeling super grateful for the vaccine and my darling babes,” she wrote alongside a makeup-free picture of herself.
