Jenna Bush Hager’s daring college secret reveals a hidden side of the former president’s daughter, as she vanished under Secret Service watch to meet a boyfriend.QN

Hager revealed that she and the athlete “broke up soon after” her great escape.

Jenna Bush Hager is remembering the time she escaped the Secret Service in order to meet up with her secret boyfriend.

The 43-year-old Today anchor brought up her great escape during a conversation with cohost Savannah Guthrie about whether or not they’d ever done the walk of shame on Thursday’s episode of Jenna & Friends.

“I had Secret Service, so I would be kind of embarrassed,” Hager, who is the daughter of former President George W. Bush, said when discussing the practice on the show. “And I hesitate even saying this, but I dated a football player at Texas for a brief time and I was embarrassed that the Secret Service would know that — I don’t know why, but I was.”

She quickly clarified that the football player didn’t do anything wrong, it was just that she “didn’t want [the Secret Service] to know I had a new boyfriend because senior year was… active for me.”

“Lots of walks of shame,” Guthrie teased, to which Hager quipped back, “Lots and lots of them!”

So, naturally, she had to concoct some inventive ways in order to escape her security detail to see him. “I had my friends sneak me,” Hager said. “I was in the back of the car and they snuck me past the Secret Service. I’ve never told this!”

Guthrie was shocked by her cohost’s casual revelation. “Wait a minute. You snuck out from the Secret Service?” she asked as Hager nodded. “So they thought you were home in bed reading the Bible or whatever and you were at the football player’s house?”

“Yes, I was,” Hager confessed. Guthrie, in response, immediately requested a high five and added, “That’s my girl!”

Hager, however, quickly clarified, “It was the only time I ever escaped them and then we broke up soon after!”

Hager was a freshman at the University of Texas at Austin when her dad was elected president of the United States in 2000. Last December, she revealed that her college roommates took her on a spontaneous trip to Mexico to celebrate her “last weekend of freedom” before she received Secret Service detail.

“It used to be safer, but I drove across the border to Acuña, Mexico,” she recalled at the time. “It was legal to drink there, so it felt safer. There was a bar with a slide, that’s all I remember.”

Looking up to the sky, a laughing Hager continued, “Thank God I’m alive. Thank you, God.”

While it didn’t work out with her football boyfriend, Hager has since found love and started her own family with husband Henry Chase Hager, whom she married in 2008. The couple shares three children together: daughters Mila and Poppy and son Hal.
