Hoda Kotb Says She Was Inspired By Sandra Bullock to Adopt Kids Haley and Hope: ‘I’ve Admired Her’


Today's Hoda Kotb revealed she was inspired to adopt her two daughters, Haley and Hope, after seeing Sandra Bullock raise her two kids, Louis and Laila.

In an interview with TODAY.com on Tuesday, July 9, Hoda, 59, named Sandra, also 59, as one of the people she hopes to have on her “Making Space” podcast some day in the future. Sandra was “devastated” when Bryan died, an insider told Closer in May, adding, “Now that she’s turning 60, she’s feeling a tremendous emptiness in her heart.” “I feel like we would have an instant, beautiful conversation,” she said of hoping for the opportunity to have Sandra on the podcast, which is celebrating its 50th guest, Lainey Wilson, on Wednesday, July 10.
