AceShowbiz - Jenna Bush Hager, co-host of NBC's "Today", has sparked discussion with her unexpected views on flirting with her husband, Henry Hager. During the show's "Girl Code" segment, she revealed that she doesn't mind when other women flirt with him, as long as it's not excessive.
"This might be weird, but sometimes I like it when people flirt with Henry," Hager admitted. "I'm just like, 'Baby girls still got it!' " She explained that her confidence in their relationship allows her to appreciate it as a reminder of his attractiveness.
Hager emphasized that she would not tolerate her husband flirting back with anyone. However, she finds it appealing when others show interest in him in a small way. "He wouldn't do it a lot," she said.
This admission surprised her co-host, Hoda Kotb, who expressed her strong disapproval of anyone flirting with her partner. Kotb believes it's disrespectful.
Despite their differing opinions, both Hager and Kotb agreed that the best way to address a friend crossing the line is to make a joke out of it. "I think you're just like, 'Hey! Sue, he's mine!' You have to make a joke of it," Hager suggested.
Hager and Henry have been married for over 15 years and have three children together. Their courtship had its humorous moments, including an incident where Henry was caught by a Secret Service agent after an overnight stay at the White House while her father, George W. Bush, was still in office.
Hager's candidness about her relationship has drawn attention. She has previously joked about having an affair although she quickly backtracked on her remarks.
