Hoda Kotb<\/a> was left squirming on Wednesday morning after her cohost,\u00a0Jenna Bush Hager<\/a>, mentioned a rather awkward topic live on air.<\/p>\n

During the latest episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna, the duo were discussing the micro wedding trend, and Jenna couldn’t resist bringing up Hoda’s 2005 wedding to University of New Orleans tennis coach, Burzis Kanga.<\/p>\n

‘There is a new trend in weddings and it’s all about micro weddings, small weddings, tiny weddings,’ mother-of-two Hoda, who is leaving the Today show<\/a> next month, began.<\/p>\n

‘They are growing in popularity because I think people don’t want to spend a ton of money on the party and then afterwards with the bills.’<\/p>\n

Jenna then blurted out: ‘And also, I mean, if you look back think about who was at your first wedding…,’ but Hoda looked rather unimpressed with her comment and said: ‘Why do you do that?’<\/p>\n

‘I’m sorry!’ Jenna quickly apologized, before adding: ‘Well, your only wedding! But when you think about it, weren’t there some people who you were like…,’ as Hoda butted in: ‘I did a destination wedding.’<\/p>\n

‘So it was small?’ Jenna probed, as her cohost replied: ‘It wasn’t small, but it wasn’t huge.’<\/p>\n

Referring to her May 2008 wedding<\/a> to Henry Hager, Jenna said: ‘Mine wasn’t small, but it wasn’t huge and there still were people that I loved but haven’t stayed friends with.’<\/p>\n

Hoda looked awkward when her cohost mentioned her 2005 wedding to tennis coach\u00a0Burzis Kanga<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hoda then said: ‘The whole thing about bearing witness to like a great moment, you want your family and some people have big families. You can’t have a micro wedding if you have a big family, you’re not allowed, people gotta come!’<\/p>\n

Jenna then mentioned her own mom and dad, former US President George W. Bush and wife Laura, as she said: ‘Although I\u00a0think my parents had a micro wedding and my dad has a big family.’<\/p>\n

‘Yeah but my mom has a small family. I mean, they had 30 people,’ she added, as Hoda replied: ‘I think that’s micro-ish.’<\/p>\n

Asking Hoda about her future wedding plans, Jenna then said: ‘Would you like to have a small wedding or a large wedding, one day?’<\/p>\n

Hoda paused for a second before she replied: ‘When that day comes, errrrr probably small.’<\/p>\n

Jenna then told her: ‘Don’t forget about me!\u00a0Don’t move on to your health and wellness and invite all your gurus and forget about me, okay?’\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoda married\u00a0Burzis in 2005, but their union ended in divorce in 2008.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The television host is yet to walk down the aisle again but she was engaged to\u00a0financier Joel Schiffman from November 2019 until January 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jenna, pictured here on her wedding day to Henry Hager in May 2008, said theirs ‘wasn’t small but it wasn’t huge’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Back in August, Hoda opened up about her split<\/a> from her partner of eight years during an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lina Show<\/a>\u00a0and said: ”Joel is one of the best people I know, and he really is a great human being.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘And I feel like I’m a pretty great human being, but sometimes two great human beings together isn’t quite enough to make it work.’<\/p>\n

She cryptically added, ‘I think when people are growing at two different paces it’s hard to be in sync.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hoda also admitted that she was more than confident that she’d find her special person soon.<\/p>\n

‘When I close my eyes and I envision the romantic part of my life, I can see it very clearly,’ she shared.<\/p>\n

‘Because for the first time in my life I am me. Someone is meeting me. Not the version that you might want, or not the version that I’ll twist a little bit to fit your needs or what is appealing to you.<\/p>\n

‘This is who I am, and I feel like once you get there your heart rests. You’re like, “Oh, this is what it feels like.” So when I close my eyes and see it, I see it.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
