Jenna Bush Hager Makes Hoda Kotb Teary-Eyed Over 'Resilient' Daughter Hope's Hospitalization 1 Year Ago


Kotb's latest children's book is named for her 4-year-old daughter, who was hospitalized at this time last year.

Hope was hospitalized last year, and her mother took a leave of absence from her morning show to be by her side. She later shared with viewers that the toddler had been "in the ICU for a few days and in the hospital for more than a week" with an undisclosed condition. However, the waterworks really started in full when Bush Hager surprised Kotb with a video of Hope celebrating the release of her namesake book.
