Jenna Bush Hager shared on the Today Show that her daughter, Mila, has given her a new nickname of “Kylie” after Kylie Jenner. This came about after Mila started calling her mom “Jenn-er” by using part of her first name with an “er” added at the end. The humorous exchange between Jenna and co-host Hoda Kotb brought out the revelation, with Jenna being puzzled by the new nickname.
On the show, Hoda Kotb mentioned that her own kids don’t have unusual nicknames for her, but she does get bothered when they refer to her as “she” instead of “mom.” She expressed her annoyance at her daughters saying “she said” instead of “mom said.” The banter between Jenna and Hoda led to a suggestion of swapping kids to see how they would behave in different households.
Jenna Bush Hager shared a story where she recalled losing her daughter, Poppy, at a water park, causing her to swear off large parties and water parks in the future. The incident where Poppy briefly went missing led Jenna to panic, making her vow to only have small gatherings for her children from then on. This decision was fueled by the fear of ever losing track of one of her kids again.
Despite the traumatic event at the water park, Jenna Bush Hager has a history of going above and beyond for her kids. She shared a story of a girls’ trip she took with her daughter Mila, alongside Savannah Guthrie and her daughter, Vale. The trip was planned by Mila, who felt they needed a girls’ getaway, resulting in a fun-filled vacation for the moms and their daughters in Florida.
Jenna Bush Hager and Savannah Guthrie, who used to be neighbors, don’t get to see each other as much anymore due to living further apart. They made an effort to plan the girls’ trip and enjoyed soaking up the sun and hanging out on the beach together. The moms were also seen enjoying some rosé during their vacation, emphasizing the importance of making time for friends and quality time with loved ones.
