AceShowbiz - Hoda Kotb appeared to have invited her former fiance to spend Christmas together. The "Today" co-host was showered with praise for celebrating the special holiday with Joel Schiffman and their daughters despite their split.
On Wednesday, December 25, the 60-year-old TV personality offered social media users a glimpse of her activities with her family at her new home. Making use of her Instagram page, she treated her followers to a series of pictures from the holiday.
In one of the photos, it could be seen that Hoda was about to have dinner with her two daughters and Joel. The four of them were joined by her mother Sameha Kotb as well as her sister Hala. All of them were gathered in the dining room before they enjoyed their meal.
Hoda was photographed standing up near the dining table while Joel was sitting down next to Sameha. As for her children, the young girls were sharing a hug near their aunt Hala. The six of them looked happy as they were smiling from ear-to-ear.
Another picture, meanwhile, captured Hoda, Joel, Sameha and Hala chilling in the living room. While Hoda stood up to take the photo, Joel, Sameha and Hala were sitting down on a sofa. The six of them wear matching outfits, including white tops and red-themed pants. Hoda, particularly, completed the look with a Santa Claus hat.
Along with the second snap, the broadcast journalist wrote in the caption of the post, "Raise your hand if you are still in your christmas jammies and watching football," adding heart and Christmas tree emojis. She was later applauded by her fans for putting on a united front with Joel for their daughters despite their breakup.
Hoda and Joel met in 2013 before going public with their relationship two years later. In 2019, she broke the news about their engagement on "Today". During their relationship, she adopted Haley Joy and Hope Catherine. Unfortunately, in 2022, she revealed her split from Joel.
