Television host and author Jenna Bush Hager has put recent rumors to rest, clarifying both her family plans and her marriage status during a candid segment on Today With Jenna and Friends. The 43-year-old co-anchor, who shares three children with husband Henry Hager, addressed speculation head-on after her colleague Savannah Guthrie teased her about a dream in which Jenna was pregnant again.
“Do you have anything to announce?” Guthrie asked playfully. Jenna took a dramatic pause, smiled, and replied with a laugh, “No, I have nothing to announce. I’m pretty sure I’ve come to terms that three — even though it’s an imperfect number — is the perfect number for our household.”
Jenna and Henry, who married in 2008, are proud parents to daughters Mila, 11, and Poppy, 9, as well as 5-year-old son Hal. During the lighthearted chat, she joked that while her husband is turning 47 in May, she’s still “quite young” — prompting Guthrie to tease, “Ish!”
The exchange came just a week after Jenna shut down divorce rumors that began circulating online when fans noticed she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring. Setting the record straight, she explained, “I’m not wearing [my ring] because I broke my finger. But don’t worry, I’ve seen some of the comments — Henry and I are still very happily married.”
The clarification comes as a relief to fans who have followed Jenna’s life both on and off screen. As the daughter of former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush, Jenna has spent much of her life in the public eye. Despite that, she’s carved her own path as a respected journalist, Today show personality, and founder of Jenna’s Book Club, which highlights her passion for storytelling and literacy.
Jenna and Henry’s love story goes back to 2004, when they met while he was working on her father’s re-election campaign. In a bold move, Jenna proposed to him after just three months of dating — an offer he turned down, saying he wasn’t ready. Three years later, he proposed to her during a romantic hike in Maine, and the rest is history.
Throughout their 17-year marriage, the couple has been open about the challenges and joys of family life. Jenna often shares personal anecdotes about parenting on Today, balancing humor with heartfelt honesty. “Three feels right,” she said of their family dynamic. “It’s chaotic, it’s noisy, it’s love.”
For now, it seems baby number four isn’t in the cards — and Jenna’s perfectly fine with that. “We’re happy,” she said with her trademark grin. “We’ve got our hands full, and our hearts even fuller.”
In true Today fashion, the moment ended with laughter — and a gentle reminder that while the internet might love its rumors, sometimes the truth is far simpler: Jenna Bush Hager’s family is thriving, her marriage is solid, and life at the Hager household is exactly as it should be.
