Hoda Kotb’s family began their Independence Day celebrations ahead of July 4th as they watched fireworks go off from their home. The TV personality shared a clip of the moment on her Instagram page, showing her daughters Haley and Hope.
Her eldest daughter was clearly enjoying the moment as she posed for the camera in a gray and peach sleepwear set, while Hope lay sleepy in a purple blanket as Hoda carried her. “Happy early 4th! Love us,” Hoda’s caption read.

Hope appeared to be fighting off sleep in the first slide as her eyes were barely open. By the last photo, she was fast asleep with her head turned the other way in her mother’s arms. Hoda’s followers found the post adorable and acknowledged Haley’s adorable personality in the comments.

Mama Hoda
While most people know Hoda as the co-host of the TODAY show, she is also a dedicated mother to her girls, both of whom she credits for motivating her. Last year, she told the outlet that her youngest daughter teaches her to find the wonder in little things and to spot the magic in the mundane.
She is dedicated to grooming her children, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, to become confident adult women who are not afraid to speak up even when it is unpopular. Hoda acknowledges Joel for being a cooperative co-parent to their children regardless of their breakup after eight years of dating.
