Jenna Bush Hager wants her fans to know there’s no trouble in paradise.
The Today with Jenna & Friends anchor, 43, is putting to rest rumors that she and her husband Henry Chase Hager, 46, are headed for a divorce since she hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring.
On the Wednesday, February 26 episode of her show, Hager explained that a “bad wedding ring situation” is to blame for her not donning the bauble lately.
“I’m not wearing one now because I broke my finger, but don’t worry, I’ve seen some of the comments, Henry and I are still very happily married,” insisted the mother of daughters Mila, 11, and Poppy, 9, and son Hal, 5.

Hager, who wed her husband on May 10, 2008, then went on to recall that this latest wedding ring fiasco isn’t the first.
“Once Savannah Guthrie had a 50th birthday and sometimes for my best friends’ birthdays, I feel like I really have to give it my all,” Hager explained of partying hearty to mark her colleague’s milestone birthday three years ago. “I gave it my all. One of the last people standing.”
Unfortunately, the biggest casualty of that night was a sapphire that once belonged to her husband’s grandmother.
According to Hager, she stayed at the bash after her husband, who was acting “kind of grumpy,” left to go home.
“He went to bed a little earlier, sort of like, ‘Aren’t you coming with me?’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m not coming with you!’” Hager recalled. “I woke up the next morning, I look down at my engagement ring and one of the stones was gone.”

“I was already a little bit on thin ice from my wild behavior,” she continued. “So, I looked down and I’m like, ‘Oh no, do I tell him this now or do I wait?’ I went ahead and said, ‘Honey, you know, I know I lost a little bit of dignity last night. I also lost your grandmother’s sapphire.’”
While Hager said she was unable to locate the gem, her husband eventually forgave her since he’s such “a tolerant person.”
“My mom calls him a ‘saint,’” she revealed, jokingly adding, “Which is really just saying that I’m difficult to be with.”
