- Hager, speaking during Thursday's live hour of Today With Jenna & Sheinelle, grew emotional as she said she wants more time with her daughter Poppy, who is 10.
- She said recent demands from the talk show, high-profile interviews, and her book and publishing work have crowded her schedule, and she vowed to make the next few weeks more kid-focused.
- Cohost Sheinelle Jones hugged her on air and urged grace, saying parents cannot do everything at once and should be fully present when they are with their kids.
- After the exchange, Hager returned to the rundown, promoting upcoming interviews with Queen Camilla and actor Adam Scott, and she was heard during the commercial break saying, “What is wrong with me,” as the two shared another hug.
- Hager shares three children with her husband, Henry Hager, and Jones has spoken openly about parenting after losing her husband in 2025, a context that shaped the supportive tone on set.
