TODAY, presenter Hoda Kotb shared new photos celebrating her birthday at home, surrounded by family.
Hoda, who turns 60 today, shared a new Instagram post featuring her two daughters, Haley Joy, 7, and Hope Catherine, 5.
The anchor took the day off from her typical spot on the morning show as her girls surprised her with decorations, cards and gifts.
The first photo showed Hoda opening a gift while Haley and Hope stood there, surrounded by birthday balloons.
The station’s journalist wore a “Sunshine And Whiskey” t-shirt and casual shorts for a quiet morning at home.
Hoda also appeared to be holding a new piece of jewelry in her hands as she cheered with excitement.
Other photos showed Hoda’s mother, Sameha Kotb, smiling alongside her granddaughters.
Also present at the celebration at home was Hoda’s younger brother, Adel.
“Happy birthday morning!! Lucky me, kisses,” the NBC co-anchor wrote in her caption.
Hoda shares her two daughters with her ex, Joel Schiffman, who she split from in 2022.
The journalist shared a exciting video with her daughters earlier this week, in which they were shown running down the hallway to greet her.
“Mommy!” they shouted as Hoda opened the door.
The clip ended with photos of Hoda embracing her daughters and cuddling with them on the couch.
“Home [heart],” she simply captioned the post.
Hoda had just returned from Paris, France, where she covered the 2024 Paris Olympics alongside hosts Al Roker, 69, Savannah Guthrie, 52, and Craig Melvin, 45.
After nearly two weeks in Paris, Hoda and her co-hosts were back in New York City for Wednesday’s episode of Today.
“We are so happy to be home in Studio 1A,” Savannah said during the broadcast, adding that it was “difficult to leave Paris.”
The day before, Hoda’s girls got the biggest surprise: She surprised them with a FaceTime from Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles.
