Everything Hoda Kotb Has Said About Adoption — Including the Hints She Was Doing It Again!

Hoda Kotb‘s journey to both first- and second-time motherhood is a touching one.
The Today co-host, 54, announced on Tuesday during a call-in to the show that she had adopted a baby girl named Hope Catherine, who rounds out the family alongside 2-year-old daughter Haley Joy and boyfriend Joel Schiffman.
“It’s a girl! And her name is Hope!” Kotb could be heard saying through audible tears over the phone as her fellow Today personalities wiped their own eyes.
