Hoda Kotb shared an adorable family photo to celebrate Easter on Sunday.
With bright-eyed smiles, the “Today” host’s 1.2 million followers got to see the happy family which included daughter Haley Joy, 2, and boyfriend Joel Schiffman, 61, who was seen bottle-feeding newly adopted daughter Hope Catherine.
“This is us,” Kotb wrote in a simple, yet reflective caption about her family. Kotb has been in a relationship with New York financier Joel Schiffman for six years. In February 2017, Kotb announced that the couple adopted daughter Haley Joy — the first child for the 52-year-old host.
