Jenna Bush Hager Drops Pregnancy Clue On-Air—“We Might Have a New Baby on the Show Soon!”

In a moment that sent fans and co-hosts into a frenzy of speculation, Jenna Bush Hager—beloved co-host of TODAY with Hoda & Jenna—may have just dropped a major pregnancy clue live on air. During a lighthearted segment on Wednesday morning, Jenna smiled coyly and said, “We might have a new baby on the show soon!”—and the internet hasn’t stopped buzzing since.

Was It Just a Joke—or a Real Hint?

While discussing parenting trends and baby names during the “Hot Topics” portion of the show, Jenna leaned toward her co-host Hoda Kotb, placed a hand on her own stomach, and casually teased, “Who knows? We might have a new baby on the show soon!” Hoda gasped playfully, the audience laughed, and Jenna quickly added, “I didn’t say anything specific!”—before moving the segment along.

But the moment didn’t go unnoticed. Within minutes, fans flooded social media with clips of the exchange, analyzing her tone, body language, and even her wardrobe choice (a loose-fitting floral dress) for signs of a potential pregnancy announcement.

Internet Speculation Goes Wild

It didn’t take long for X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok to explode with reactions:

“Did Jenna Bush Hager just casually announce she’s pregnant on national TV??”
“I swear she’s glowing. Jenna, just tell us already!”
“Another baby on the way? I’m here for it! #TodayShowBaby”

Some fans even pointed out that Jenna has been more emotional and maternal in recent episodes, and that she’s mentioned the joys—and challenges—of parenting young children several times over the last few weeks.

Others are more skeptical, noting that Jenna is known for her wit and humor, and may have simply been joking.

Jenna’s History With Pregnancy Announcements

If Jenna Bush Hager is pregnant, this wouldn’t be the first time she’s shared the news in a special way on-air. Back in April 2019, she surprised fans by announcing her third pregnancy live during the Today Show. With tears in her eyes and her co-hosts embracing her, the moment went viral and was celebrated across the country.

She and her husband Henry Hager are already proud parents to three children: Mila, Poppy, and Hal. In previous interviews, Jenna has been open about the joys and chaos of motherhood—and has often joked that her house is already “a beautiful zoo.”

But could baby #4 be on the way?

A Source Close to Jenna Speaks Out

According to a Today Show insider who asked to remain anonymous, the buzz backstage is very real.

“Let’s just say people are talking. Jenna has been glowing lately, and she’s been a little more secretive than usual. If there’s big news, she’s keeping it close to the chest—for now.”

The source added that producers have learned to let Jenna make announcements on her own terms, as she prefers organic, heartfelt reveals rather than orchestrated press releases.

Hoda’s Reaction—Was It Telling?

Co-host Hoda Kotb also raised eyebrows with her response. While Hoda played along with Jenna’s teasing, viewers noticed that she gave Jenna a knowing glance and giggled just a little too long. Some are now speculating that Hoda might be in on the secret—and trying not to spill the beans early.

As one fan tweeted:

“Hoda definitely knows something. That look said it ALL.”

Why the Timing Makes Sense

Jenna has spoken in recent months about the importance of family, slowing down, and embracing motherhood. In an emotional segment earlier this year, she told Hoda:

“At the end of the day, what really matters is coming home to the people who love you unconditionally. Being a mom grounds me. It’s where I feel most myself.”

At 43, Jenna would join a growing number of women embracing motherhood later in life. She’s often talked about how each of her children came at “exactly the right time” and how she trusts the natural flow of life and family.

And let’s not forget: the Today Show has a long history of celebrating pregnancy announcements. From Dylan Dreyer to Carson Daly’s wife Siri, the morning show has become a hub of joyful news and growing families.

NBC Has Yet to Confirm

As of now, NBC and the Today Show team have not released an official statement. Jenna herself has not commented on the speculation via social media, and her publicist has not responded to requests for comment.

But that hasn’t stopped fans from watching closely—and waiting for what many believe is an inevitable confirmation.

What This Means for the Show

If Jenna is expecting, the Today with Hoda & Jenna team will almost certainly lean into the journey, as they’ve done in the past. Past co-host pregnancies have included:

On-air sonogram reveals
Gender reveals during live segments
Audience participation in baby name polls
Heartwarming maternity leave sendoffs

In fact, the show has been praised for its celebration of working mothers, highlighting the balance between high-profile careers and raising a family.

Final Thoughts: Real or Rumor?

Whether Jenna Bush Hager is actually pregnant—or simply teasing fans in good fun—the buzz is real. With millions tuning in each week and a dedicated fanbase hanging on every word, even a small comment can spark major speculation.

What’s clear is this: Today Show viewers adore Jenna for her authenticity, warmth, and relatability. Whether or not she’s adding another little one to her family, her presence continues to bring joy to the screen every morning.
