"This! Lots of parents could learn from this! We love you Hoda," gushed a fourth. "Let's normalize co-parenting in a healthy, respectful way like this! Your children will thank you later! Great job!" exclaimed a fifth, followed by the hand-clapping emoji, as a sixth praised: "Love seeing Joel, Hoda and the girls so happy!"
Hoda Kotb Talks About 'Falling Into Old Habits'
The Making Space with Hoda Kotb host's recent update comes more than a year after she told Today co-host and friend Jenna Bush Hager that she had "fallen into old habits," which fans thought was more than likely in relation to the financier.
During a segment about Cardi B briefly reuniting with Offset despite their breakup, Hoda and Jenna discussed how surprisingly easy it can be to slip back into familiar territory with an ex, especially around the holidays.
"There are three major traps in our calendar," Jenna said, highlighting Christmas and New Year as peak moments when people find themselves reaching out to someone they've previously said goodbye to. She said: "After you've been with someone for seven years and you see them and it's New Year's Eve… Sometimes you forget what was bugging."
Jenna then asked Hoda if she'd ever done the same. After a brief pause, Hoda admitted: "Yes, I have fallen into old habits." She went on to clarify that it wasn't something she planned to repeat, though, adding: "I did regret it. It's one of those things where you say to yourself, ‘just a little more willpower and I would have been fine.'" We love her honesty!
