Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman’s wedding has been on indefinite hold because of COVID-19. And today, the Today host announced that it is permanently off.
“Joel and I have had a lot of prayerful and really meaningful conversations over the holidays, and we decided that we’re better as friends and parents than we are as an engaged couple,” she said.
There was nothing that happened; it is just that their relationship ran its course.
Kotb wasn’t planning on addressing it, but some eagle-eyed viewers noticed she wasn’t wearing her engagement ring. So, she decided to share the news with everyone. The anchor said they are used to sharing all of the good news like baby announcements, engagements, and weddings. But sometimes, they also have bad news to share like this.
It was hard for her to do, but she feels better now that she did.
The unbetrothed couple has two adopted daughters, Haley, 4, and Hope 2.
