Jenna Bush Hager's Husband and Her Twin Barbara to Co-Host Jenna & Friends (DETAILS)
It's a family affair for Hager's upcoming slate of TODAY with Jenna & Friends guest co-hosts for the week of March 24.
Jenna Bush Hager may have found a soul sister in former co-host Hoda Kotb, but she'll soon be joined by her actual sister and her soulmate, respectively, when Barbara Pierce Bush and Henry Hager sit in on TODAY With Jenna & Friends! It's basically Bring Your Family To Work Week. Find out all the details, here.
Barbara Pierce Bush joins Jenna March 24 & 25
Jenna Bush Hager's fraternal twin sister Barbara will help her kick off the week in a First Daughters reunion we can't wait to see (please, invite the Obama girls on as guests!) Barbara previously co-hosted alongside her sister in 2023, and the Bush girls have also collaborated on three books: Sisters First, a collection of stories from their upbringing and two children's books about love and family.

"We have a very shared memory because, obviously, we were the same age at every stage in life and often did things together," Bush told The New York Times of her special bond with her sister. "We have a very shared perspective. That differs if you had a sibling who was older than you and thought what you were doing was uncool...We were always in the same stage together."
"I think it's the luckiest thing in the world that's ever happened to me that I was born with a twin," Bush told Inbound in 2018. "Because I had someone to navigate life with that was my same age walking alongside me and everything. That made me more brave than I thought I could be and it certainly pushed me to do more with my life."

Henry Hager sits beside his wife on March 27 & 28
Finally, the week comes to an end with co-host Henry Hager, Jenna Bush Hager's husband of 17 years.
The pair first met when he worked for her father, former president George W. Bush. Hager was the staff assistant to the senior advisor at the White House from 2001 to 2003. They tied the knot in 2008 at her family’s ranch in Texas. "I remember seeing Henry clearly, standing there at this cross that my dad had helped build for us. It's still there," Hager emotionally recalled while on TODAY.
In 2020, Hager told Hoda Kotb how she knew that Hager was right for her: “I do think one of the reasons why I knew really soon Henry was the one is I was completely myself, and he loved it.” They now share three children: Poppy, Mila, and Hal.
