Hoda Kotb celebrated Father’s Day with a heartwarming tribute to her ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, showing that even after love changes form, family can remain united. On June 16, 2024, the Today cohost shared a touching Instagram photo of Schiffman sitting on the couch with their daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, nestled beside him, all three smiling warmly for the camera. “Happy Father’s Day to the best dad!” Hoda captioned the post, a simple but powerful statement that revealed just how strong their co-parenting bond has remained since their split.
Hoda and Joel began dating quietly in the early 2010s before making their relationship public in 2015. The financier proposed in 2019 during a romantic beach dinner, and though the couple never made it down the aisle, they built a beautiful family together. In January 2022, Hoda announced on Today with Hoda & Jenna that they had ended their engagement, explaining that they were “better as friends and parents than as an engaged couple.”
During that emotional announcement, Hoda praised Schiffman, calling him “a great guy” and “a very kind and loving person.” She emphasized that while their romantic relationship had ended, their commitment to raising their daughters with love and respect was stronger than ever. “We’re both good, and we’re both kind of going on our way,” she said. “We’ll be good parents to those two lovely kids.”

True to her word, Hoda has consistently shown fans that family isn’t defined by traditional boundaries. Whether it’s celebrating holidays together or spending sunny afternoons at the park, she and Schiffman have continued to prioritize a sense of normalcy and joy for their daughters.
In May, Hoda posted another glimpse into their family life with an adorable Memorial Day photo of Hope and Haley smiling at a playground after climbing a spider web structure. The proud mom captioned it, “Summer sisters xo,” capturing the simple happiness of the moment.
The Father’s Day post reaffirmed the mutual respect and affection that still exists between Hoda and Joel — a rarity in celebrity breakups. It also gave fans a deeper look at the TV star’s life off-camera, where she balances her thriving career with being a devoted mom.
Hoda’s openness about her personal journey — from late-in-life motherhood to her experiences with adoption and single parenting — has long resonated with viewers. Her stories remind audiences that love takes many forms, and that family can remain whole even after separation.
As for Schiffman, the Father’s Day photo captured what mattered most to him: the love of his daughters. Both girls appeared radiant, mirroring the happiness of a family that, despite change, still finds strength in togetherness.
It’s moments like these — quiet, joyful, and full of grace — that remind fans why Hoda Kotb has become one of America’s most beloved morning-show figures: not just for her career, but for her authenticity and the warmth she brings to every part of her life.https://www.instagram.com/p/C7eYLARu1jT/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=14&wp=540&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fviewfindernews.com&rp=%2Fbtvkhanhhuyen%2Fhuyen7-hoda-kotbs-family-reunion-turns-heads-what-she-posted-about-her-ex-left-fans-speechless-calling-joel-the-best-dad-hodas-words-revealed-something-deeper%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwY2xjawN6dalleHRu#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1846.199999988079%2C%22ls%22%3A637.8999999910593%2C%22le%22%3A1840.8999999910593%7D
