Hoda Kotb revealed her Today with Hoda and Jenna co-host tested positive for the coronavirus and was subsequently absent from Wednesday's taping of the news program. "We should point out, by the way, Jenna's not here. Jenna got COVID," Kotb, 57, said. "She's doing great." While she didn't reveal names, Kotb said other members of Hager's household also contracted the viral respiratory illness. Hager shares daughters Margaret "Mila" Laura, 8, and Poppy Louise, 6, and son Hal, 2, with husband Henry Hager. "Her whole family has it. You know how it is, everyone gets it, they quarantine, and then 5 days later, everything's going to be just fine," Kotb said. "I talked to her on the phone, she's great, she's feeling good."

She's doing totally fine, and she'll be back here pretty soon," she said. Last week, Hager and Kotb celebrated three years as Today co-hosts. In a joint tweet on their show's account, the pair thanked viewers for their support. "Today marks 3️⃣ whole years since we started Hoda and Jenna," they wrote. "We are so grateful for all of the laughs, fun and inspiring conversations. Thank YOU for following along and supporting us, too."
