Hoda Kotb | Haley Joy & Hope Katherine

After battling with breast cancer that troubled her pregnancy, Hoda Kotb opted for adoption. Then, she and fiancé Joel Schiffman welcomed Haley Joy in their lives. Two years later, Hope Catherine joined their bunch. “When you’re a mom late in life, you realize the gift it is. I’m not saying I wouldn’t have realized it when I was younger but trust me, when you’re a new mom for the first time at 52, you get on your knees and say thank you. Because you get to do something you didn’t think you had a shot at,” Kotb told People.

Back in Halloween 2019, she urged them to wear fun and bright costumes. Without doubt, the occasion took the credit for the actress’ current bliss. And when was asked if she had space for more love, Kotb beamed and replied with a yes.
