Speculation has been rampant for months about the return — or lack thereof — of Hoda Kotb to NBC’s “Today.”
The journalist adopted her second daughter, Hope, in April.
She announced on the show this morning that she will indeed be back to Rockefeller Center — on Sept. 3.
During the call to Studio 1A, Kotb said, “There hasn’t been a second that I haven’t loved (with the kids). I loved it all. But the other big realization I had on this maternity leave is how much I love you guys.”
She also took to Instagram with the news.
The Hoda Show returns!
