Hoda Kotb has often gushed about how her loved ones have defined her life — especially her daughters, Haley and Hope.
The Today anchor became a mother when she adopted her little ones in 2017 and 2019, respectively, with her then-partner, Joel Schiffman. The former couple got engaged after six years of dating in 2019 before calling it quits in 2022.
When it comes to raising her kids, Hoda has often credited her mother, Sameha Kotb, for inspiring her approach to parenting. “She was a great mom. She was strict,” she told Today in 2016. “That was how we lived. You understood what no meant. There was no ‘But everyone else is doing it.’ She couldn’t have cared less what anyone else was doing.”
Following her split from Schiffman, Hoda discussed the lessons she was trying to instill in Haley and Hope.
“I think one thing I really wanna work on with my girls, too, is them having their voice,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in November 2022. “[Teaching them about] being brave enough to say what they need, what they want and not to feel greedy or too much or too bossy. … I think I want my girls to be more vocal and to say what they want and not to be afraid and not to try to conform to be what other people want.”
