Over the years Hoda Kotb has been quite open with the public about her journey to motherhood. Following a battle with breast cancer, the journalist was unable to conceive. She told Southern Living, “One of the things in my life I’ve always wanted was to be a mom. Sometimes in your life, things just don’t work out for whatever reason, so you say, ‘Well, I wasn’t meant to have that.’ But it was really hard to come to terms with it.” Though Kotb couldn’t bear her own children, she knew that she was still destined to be a mom.
The 57-year-old and her partner, Joel Schiffman, adopted their first child, Haley Joy, in 2017. Kotb declared her daughter “the love of [her] life” and has since adopted a second child. In 2019, Kotb and Schiffman adopted Catherine and may be looking to add another child to the mix (via People).
