Jenna Bush Hager very quickly went from being called mother to Jenner to Kylie. And the rest of the world is just as perplexed as she and her co-host, Hoda Kotb.
During Friday Today with Hoda and Jenna program, the co-hosts were examining Best houses and gardens magazine, which features Kotb’s gift recommendations, When Bush Hager was about to recite the recommendations, Kotb interrupted her because of what she was being called.
“And if you turn to page 24, she recommends it,” Bush Hager starts to say before Kotb interrupts: “Who is she? I?”
The interjection stimulated another topic.
“Do you get mad when your kids call you ‘she’?” Kotb asked. “I don’t like it when my kids say, ‘She…she said.’ No, no, no. We don’t say she.”
Perhaps Kotb is better off than Bush Hager, who then shared his latest nickname offered by his 11-year-old daughter, Mila.
“Do you know what Mila calls me now? Jenner,” said Bush Hager. “And she started calling me Kylie.”
Obvious question, why?
“‘Cause Kylie Jenner,” Bush Hager responded. “She’s like, ‘Kylie!’ and I’m like, ‘Is this supposed to be for me?'”
The hilarious ordeal then sparked an idea.
“I have an idea. I think we should send your kids to my house and your kids to mine, just like that old show (Family exchange) and see what happens,” joked Bush Hager, who shares Mila, Poppy, 8, and Hal, 4, with husband Henry Hager. “Mila would come back in great shape. She wouldn’t call me Jenner or worse.”
Maybe it’s revenge.
Earlier this month, Bush Hager shared that she is “retiring“of water parks and big birthday parties for their children after Mila’s 8-year-old sister Poppy briefly went missing.
“Mila and her friends were having a great time and it was wonderful until we lost a child,” joked Bush Hager.
She added: “I panicked. I wouldn’t choose which child to lose, but I wouldn’t want to lose her, okay?”
After a brief panic, Bush Hager found Poppy.
“I’m retiring from water parks,” she declared. “I am retiring from the big parties. I decided: ‘No’. I said, ‘You can have your cousin and a friend, we can do little things.’ No more. Mom is done.”
