Senate Grills White House Over Insane War Plan Leak, Desperate Trump Claims It Was a "Glitch"

As the guest host list for TODAY with Jenna & Friends keeps getting bigger and bigger, Jenna Bush Hager has a decision to make. Will the star recruit any family members to join her for TODAY's fourth hour in the near future?

How to Watch

Watch TODAY weekdays at 7AM ET on NBC.

In a January 13 interview with E! News, Hager revealed that she's thought about it, but a certain "lifetime ban" imposed on one of her kids by her husband, Henry Chase Hager, may prevent her daughter from doing so. The couple also share kids Poppy, 9, and Hal, 5.

"They're not jumping, but I may push them like I've done my whole life," Hager said. "You know who really wants to do it? Mila Hager."

However, Hager's 11-year-old daughter would have to prove she'd be on her best behavior if she was to join her mom on TODAY with Jenna & Friends. After all, Mila's been known to deliver embarrassing truth bombs whenever she's on television.

"She said something very controversial," Hager explained. "So, therefore, my husband gave her a lifetime ban. We'll see if that's lifted — maybe for Bring Your Kids to Work Day. But she hasn't been always the most supportive, let's just say that."

So, what exactly did little Mila say that was so controversial? Well, we not only know, but we tracked down the clip. Let's go back to December 20, 2022, when little Mila made her TODAY debut.

Like any kid interview, the line of questioning — and the answers given in response — was pretty straightforward. However, after Hoda Kotb mentioned that Hager often laughs so hard she can't catch her breath, Mila went for her mom's jugular.

"Yeah, one time she was laughing in our living room and she peed her pants!" Mila exclaimed to Hager. "You changed your pajamas!"

Hager was shocked — and embarrassed!

However, the star's suffering didn't end there. Mila still had one more gut punch to deliver.

"She never wears underwear!" Mila shouted. "She is not wearing it right now! I saw her change!"

And in that moment, the world knew something they didn't know before: Hager doesn't wear underwear, something she's since confirmed.

(Wow, kids really do say the darndest things!)

And now we all know why Hager's husband, Henry, has banned their child from ever appearing on TODAY again — ah, parenthood.

For the next few weeks, Hager will find herself co-hosting TODAY with Jenna & Friends alongside stars like Taraji P. Henson, Eva Longoria, Password's own Keke Palmer, and Scarlett Johansson as she embarks on her journey to "date" co-hosts until she finds the perfect permanent partner!

During that same E! News interview, Hager expressed excitement for the entire process.

"All of the women that have said yes are like dream guests," Hager revealed. "So the fact that they're willing to, like, host, which is work, means so much to me, especially when the world is hard. They're leaving their homes to come to be with us. We do not take that lightly. And we're so excited.
