Wednesday was a special day for Hoda Kotb, who spent it entering the last year of her 50s. The Today With Hoda and Jenna co-host shared a sweet post in honor of her 59th birthday that captured her simple celebration, and fans admired the touching moments.
In the carousel of photos, Kotb’s family serenaded her with breakfast in bed, joined her at the beach for some fun in the sun, and gifted her balloons and flowers. “Lots [of] love. Eternally grateful! ❤️❤️❤️” she captioned the post.
Fans and followers wished the mom of two a great birthday. “Beautiful family! Happiest of birthdays Hoda🧁🌸!!” one person commented. “Happy Birthday Hoda! What could be better than this ❤️,” another added. “The HBD singing is everything!!! 😍😍” someone else wrote.
Of course, Kotb had a separate work celebration on the set of Today. Her co-workers made her a Ritz cracker cake and delivered it on camera. Her co-host and pal Jenna Bush Hager asked how she planned to celebrate, and Kotb said she does the same thing every year.
“My whole family is coming,” she said while cutting a piece of cake. “I have this same birthday every year, and I love my birthday. I love it. We don’t do anything. We have balloons and we have a cake, and that’s it.”
Kotb is known for being open and honest about everything, including aging. Last year, on an episode of her Today segment, she called her 50s her most confident decade yet. “When you get to be in your 50s and you’re a woman, you do know exactly who you are,” she said. “Like I’m here to tell you, as you go through your years in life, your best years—your most confident, your clearest years—are ahead for you.”
She recently elaborated on that point to Oprah Daily in sharing what makes her feel “whole” in life.
“The things that make me feel whole now are me being authentically myself,” she said. “Isn’t it so weird, that it’s taken me to this stage in life—58 years old—to finally say, ‘This is me. Warts and all, this is me. Take me or leave me, this is me.’ That makes me feel whole, being myself.”
And that, she most certainly is. Happy Birthday, Hoda!
