Hoda Kotb Reacts to Fans Wanting Her to Date Kevin Costner

Has the Prince of Thieves stolen Hoda Kotb’s heart?

The Today host recently learned that after she and co-star Jenna Bush Hager interviewed Kevin Costner, fans had begun rooting for her and the Oscar winner to connect romantically. In fact, when a Watch What Happens Live viewer asked Hoda her take on the matter, she marveled over the idea.

“Wait, what?” she responded on the July 9 episode of the Bravo series. “I have never, ever heard that, not one time.”

Hoda then added with a smile, “Well, if the viewers want it.”

Her other co-host Savannah Guthrie noted, “Well, you’ve heard it now. Give the people what they want.”

In 2022, Hoda, 59, announced her breakup from longtime partner Joel Schiffman, with whom she shares daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 4. She has often spoken about her personal life on TV.

“It’s easier to share when everything’s great and it’s so much fun because you love, love and it’s such a beautiful time in life,” Hoda admitted to host Andy Cohen about her openness about her dating life. “Then, when things don’t go the way that you want them to, you sort of feel a little cornered.”
