In photos exclusively obtained by The US Sun, she paired the outfit with dark jeans and what appeared to be a pair of boots beneath their lengthy flares.

The 59-year-old wore her shoulder-length hair in a voluminous style, engaging in conversation off and on with the man beside her.

The mystery man had close-cropped brown hair and was about Hoda’s height.

He wore a dark blue blazer with matching pants as well as a crisp white dress shirt.

Hoda previously admitted that she had been planing a third date with a mystery man that Jenna Bush Hager introduced to her.

She told People in a new interview that it was a “setup” and explained further.

“A setup, ’cause that means somebody kind of knows you and kind of knows them,” she said.

“I like that a little bit better than random person number three.”

Today’s Hoda Kotb gets serious as she shares health update on 4-year-old daughter Hope’s ‘scary’ medical crisis–‌

‘A SCARY TIME’

The U.S. Sun spoke to Hoda while she attended the Hudson River Park’s 8th Annual Playground Committee Luncheon, which raised funds for the recreational privately owned park spanning the West Side of New York City.

Hoda is the adoptive mother of two girls: Haley Joy, 7, and Hope Catherine, 4, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé, Joel Schiffman, 65.

Last year, Hoda revealed Hope suffered a terrifying health scare that landed the little one in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for nearly a week.

Now, Hoda has a new, grateful, and grounding perspective on the incident.

She told The U.S. Sun, “It was a scary time. I’m learning a lot about myself.”

Hoda elaborated, “I’m learning my daughters are stronger than I ever imagined; I’m learning my capacity to love her has grown; I learned my older daughter is a better big sister than I could have ever imagined, and I also learned not to put my worry on her.”

The Today host said, “Kids are little and they don’t need scary-eyed mom looking at them like, ‘Are you OK?’”

She concluded, “So I try really hard not to put my worry on her – but Hope is doing well.”

SCARY TIMES

Last year, Hoda told viewers, “My youngest daughter Hope was in the ICU for a few days and in the hospital for a little more than a week and I’m so grateful she’s home.

“She is back home and I’ve been waiting for that day to come and we are watching her closely.”

“I realize when your child is ill, the amount of gratitude you can have for people for who helped you out…” Hoda continued.

“I’m grateful for the doctors at Weill Cornell who are amazing and the nurses and I’m grateful to my family and friends like you who were there every single day.”

IT FINALLY HAPPENED LIVE ON AIR! Dylan Dreyer and Craig Melvin Leave Viewers in TEARS With Unforgettable Announcement—The TODAY Show’s Favorite Duo Reveal Heartwarming “Dream Come True” That Changes Everything!

It was a moment unlike any other in the history of morning television.

In a stunning and emotionally charged broadcast, TODAY Show co-hosts Dylan Dreyer and Craig Melvin dropped a bombshell announcement that sent viewers around the world into joyful tears, left their co-hosts visibly emotional, and lit up social media with an outpouring of love and celebration.

After months of fan speculation, cryptic on-air hints, and growing buzz behind the scenes, the beloved duo finally confirmed what fans had been hoping for—a life-changing new chapter that marks both a personal and professional milestone for the pair.

💥 The Moment That Stopped the Show

It happened at 8:23 a.m., during what was supposed to be a casual mid-segment moment on TODAY. Dylan and Craig were seated side by side, their smiles wide but nervous. Al Roker and Savannah Guthrie were nearby, sensing something big was coming.

Then Dylan took a deep breath.

“We’ve kept this between us and our families for a while now,” she began, her voice trembling, “but today feels like the right time to finally share it with you—our extended family.”

Craig looked at her, then turned to the camera.

“We’re starting a brand new journey together… as co-founders of our own production company—and we’re launching a brand-new primetime show!”

The studio erupted into applause, with Savannah bursting into tears and Al shouting, “We knew something was going on!”

But the announcement didn’t stop there.

🍼 A Baby On the Way—And a New Beginning

In the same emotional segment, Dylan Dreyer dropped an even bigger surprise: she and her husband, Brian Fichera, are expecting their fourth child—and Craig Melvin will be the baby’s godfather.

Cue more tears, more gasps, and a standing ovation from the live studio audience.

“This has been a dream come true,” Dylan said, wiping away tears. “To be growing my family and launching a new creative chapter with one of my best friends—it’s overwhelming in the best way.”

🎬 A Primetime Leap: “Melvin & Dreyer Media”

Their new production venture, aptly named “Melvin & Dreyer Media”, will focus on uplifting, human-centered storytelling with an emphasis on family, diversity, and community resilience. The duo has already partnered with NBCUniversal to develop a weekly primetime docu-series that’s set to premiere this fall.

Insiders describe the show as a “feel-good, real-life exploration of the American spirit”, with episodes that highlight unsung heroes, extraordinary families, and untold stories from small-town USA.

Craig said:

“We want to remind people of what unites us. In a world full of noise, this show will focus on the quiet power of human kindness.”

😢 Why Fans Are Crying

Within minutes, #MelvinAndDreyer trended nationwide on Twitter. Viewers flooded social media with emotional reactions:

“I’m SOBBING. Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer just announced the most beautiful news I’ve ever seen on morning TV.”
“This is the kind of news we need. Hopeful. Heartwarming. HUMAN.”
“From COVID chaos to political drama, TODAY has always been my safe space—and this just sealed it. LOVE them!”

Clips from the announcement racked up millions of views on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube in just hours. The most shared moment? When Craig quietly said:

“You’ve seen us laugh, cry, and grow up on this show. Now, we want to give something back.”

👨‍👩‍👧 A Deeper Bond Behind the Cameras

Dylan and Craig’s friendship goes far beyond the anchor desk. The two have shared over a decade of laughter, life lessons, and lean-on-me moments while working on TODAY.

They’ve both spoken in interviews about supporting each other through difficult times—Dylan through pregnancy complications and Craig through his father’s battle with colon cancer.

Sources say the idea to launch a production company was born during a casual lunch off-camera, but it quickly snowballed into something serious.

“We both realized we wanted to tell bigger stories,” Dylan said. “Stories that live beyond a single morning show segment.”

🔮 What Happens to TODAY?

NBC confirmed that Dylan and Craig will continue to appear regularly on TODAY throughout 2025, but both will shift to part-time roles as their primetime project ramps up.

Savannah Guthrie addressed the news live, saying:

“We’ll miss them being here every morning—but we know they’re about to do something really special. And we’ll be cheering them on every step of the way.”

NBC executives say the door is always open for both to return full-time once the first season of their new show concludes.

🌈 A New Era of Authentic Television?

Media analysts are already calling the launch of “Melvin & Dreyer Media” a game-changer for broadcast television, pointing to the success of positive-content platforms like Oprah’s OWN network and “Kindness Project” TV specials.

“People are craving authenticity,” said one network insider. “And Craig and Dylan are as real as it gets.”

✨ Final Thoughts: Love, Legacy, and a Dream Fulfilled

In an age where breaking news is often heartbreaking, the announcement from Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer was a rare gift of hope, joy, and genuine human connection.

Their on-air reveal will go down as one of the most memorable and emotional moments in TODAY Show history, not just because of what they said—but because of what it represents:

The power of friendship.
The courage to pursue a dream.
And the beauty of sharing it all with the world.
