After months of speculation, Jenna Bush Hager finally has a permanent co-host to sit beside her during the fourth hour of TODAY.
After welcoming more than 60 guests hosts over the last year, following Hoda Kotb’s departure from the morning show, TODAY has announced that a very familiar face will be Hager’s permanent co-host on Jenna and Friends.
No, it’s not Brooke Shields or Scarlet Johansen, two fan-favorites. It’s Today co-anchor Sheinelle Jones.
The announcement was shared on TODAY’s Instagram page just a few moments ago.

It has been a difficult year for Jones, who revealed she lost her husband, Uche Ojeh, at the age of 45 years old following a battle with cancer.
Jones and Ojeh share three children together, 15-year-old Kayin and 12-year-old twins, Uche and Clara.
On Friday, May 23, Guthrie shared the heartbreaking announcement of Ojeh’s death on behalf of Jones.
“With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and TODAY co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma,” Guthrie shared.

“There are no words for the pain we feel for Sheinelle and their three young children. Uche was an incredible person. We all loved him. And so we want to take a moment to tell you more about the remarkable man who was Sheinelle’s perfect partner in life.”
Jones and Ojeh were married for 17 years.
