Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman’s Relationship Timeline: From Getting Engaged to Friendly Exes


Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman's romance came crashing down but the exes remain dedicated coparents to their daughters. A complete relationship timeline.

“Joel and I were standing there when they hand you the baby and it’s the closest thing to a live birth I think you’ll ever see,” she said during a virtual Today appearance. At the start of the year, Hoda shocked fans when she announced her breakup from Joel during an episode of Today after viewers noticed she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring. “Joel and I have had, we’ve had a lot of prayerful and really meaningful conversations over the holidays, and we decided that we’re better as friends and parents than we are as an engaged couple,” she said at the time.
