Jenna Bush HagerHer husband, Henry Hager, has a rather affectionate term for her!
On Wednesdays Today with Hoda and JennaBush Hager and co-host Hoda Kotb discussed the nickname he Benny Blanco used it when referring to his girlfriend, Selena Gomez.
Although the cookbook producer/author opted for “My Wittle” when talking about his A-list girlfriend, Bush Hager and Kotb admitted they have other nicknames.
Bush Hager, 42, asked Kotb, 59, if she likes a pet name from a partner or a nickname in general.
“Sort of,” Kotb said. “Like normally when I’m with someone it’s Honey, Honey…when I was a kid everyone called me Hody, that was my nickname.”
Bush Hager, on the other hand, doesn’t mind when someone gives him a sweet name.
“I love a nickname,” she said.
Kotb opened the floor to Bush Hager to explain how her husband calls her around the house, and it left her stunned.
“Well, he called me Shiny,” Bush Hager responded, letting Kotb repeat the name to make sure he heard it correctly.
“Shiny Cat… The Shiny Cat when we first met,” she continued, leaving Kotb a little speechless. “And now I think it’s just Honey, Honey, Honey.”
Bush Hager did not provide further details about the name.
Bush Hager has been married to Hager since 2008. Together, the couple has children: Mila, 11, Poppy, 8, and Hal, 4.
In April, Bush Hager revealed that she and Henry Mila’s daughter also created a creative but questionable nickname for her.
“Do you know what Mila calls me now? Jenner,” Bush Hager said. “And she started calling me Kylie. Because Kylie Jenner,” Bush Hager responded when asked why.
“She’s like, ‘Kylie!’ and I’m like, ‘Is this supposed to be for me?'”
