Hoda Kotb Advocates for Older Moms in Parenting Conversations
December 18, 2024 - 22:47
In a recent segment of “Today with Hoda & Jenna,” Hoda Kotb opened up about her experiences as an older mother and addressed the common misconceptions that often arise. During the discussion, she shared a humorous yet poignant moment when she was mistaken for her daughters’ grandmother, which led to a meaningful dialogue with co-host Jenna Bush Hager.
Hoda, who is 60 years old, expressed her determination to correct such assumptions and proudly affirm her identity as the mother of her daughters, Haley and Hope. She recognized the frustration that can accompany these misunderstandings and highlighted the importance of addressing them. By doing so, Hoda aims to foster a more inclusive conversation around motherhood, encouraging others in similar situations to embrace their roles confidently.
Her candid remarks serve as a reminder that age should not define a parent's ability to nurture and love their children, and she hopes to inspire older moms to stand firm against stereotypes.
