Hoda Kotb Reveals She’s Adopted Second Daughter

Hoda Kotb has another little angel in her life. The Today Show anchor just revealed she has another daughter and broke the exciting news on Tuesday. Kotb called into The Today Show and shared her little girl’s name with her colleagues.

“It’s a girl!” Kotb said on the phone while her co-hosts, including Savannah Guthrie, Willie Geist, Al Roker, and Jenna Bush Hager took in the news. Her daughter’s name is Hope Catherine Kotb. “Man, I’m so happy she’s here,” the mother of two exclaimed.
