Hoda Kotb‘s 22-month-old daughter Haley Joy‘s favorite clothing store might just be the closet of Jenna Bush Hager’s daughter Poppy Louise!
The Today co-hosts showed just how close their friendship is outside the office on Thursday’s episode, where Bush Hager, 37, recalled her 3-year-old daughter’s reaction to a video Kotb shared on Instagram earlier this month.
“I was looking at it and [daughter Margaret “Mila” Laura, 5½] and Poppy heard the baby and they said, ‘Oh, I want to see!’ ” she said during the show’s “Today’s Talk” segment. “And Poppy goes, ‘Poppy’s dress!’ “
“Oh, she was wearing Poppy’s dress!” Kotb, 54, exclaimed with a huge laugh, clapping her hands in amusement.
“One of the hand-me-downs! I love a hand-me-down,” Bush Hager replied. “Isn’t it weird that Poppy recognized it?”
