Jenna Bush Hager has found her “Mr. Right” in her husband, Henry Hager. The *Today* show host 

and her husband have been married since 2008 and share three children—Mila, 11, Poppy, 9, and Hal, 5. 

As they approach nearly two decades together, Jenna has opened up about how their relationship has stood the test of time and what makes their marriage work.

The couple first crossed paths in the early 2000s when they were both in their early 20s. 

Henry was working on George W. Bush’s reelection campaign, and Jenna, of course, was the daughter of the then-president. 

Their connection was immediate, and their bond has only strengthened over the years. 

Now, with nearly 20 years of marriage under their belts, Jenna is reflecting on how their partnership has thrived despite the demands of her high-profile career and raising a family.

On the latest installment of *Today with Jenna & Friends*, which airs as a revamped version of *4th Hour with Hoda & Jenna* after Hoda Kotb’s departure, Jenna sat down with country music star Kelsea Ballerini as her guest co-host. The two got talking about relationships, what makes them work, and the lessons they’ve learned from their own experiences.

Kelsea, who has been in a relationship with *Outer Banks* star Chase Stokes for two years, shared a particularly thoughtful insight: “In my relationship, what I have learned the most is the way that you can mirror someone.” She explained how important it is to allow yourself to be your authentic self with your partner, and how that openness helps both people get to know each other on a deeper level. 

Jenna nodded in agreement, acknowledging how key support is in a successful marriage. “He is so supportive too,” she said of Henry. She then went on to share her own thoughts on the secret to making a marriage work, revealing that it’s not just about finding someone who supports you, but someone who makes you feel like you’re doing what you’re meant to do. “Part of it is choosing the right person because they make you feel — they’re supportive, but they also make you feel like you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing because then you can do it well,” she explained.

Kelsea also chimed in with her take on relationships, adding, “We always say, I want to make him feel like a superhero and vice versa.” The sentiment touched Jenna, who laughed and said, “Okay, everybody is crying” before continuing with the show.

Jenna and Henry’s marriage has been filled with mutual admiration and understanding. Despite their busy lives, they prioritize each other and their family. They tied the knot in Jenna’s home state of Texas, where they continue to raise their children and spend much of their time when not in the spotlight.

As for Jenna’s *Today* journey, she’s now navigating a new chapter following Hoda’s departure. Instead of a permanent co-host, she will have a rotating series of guest stars joining her on the show, which Jenna likens to dating. In fact, during her first episode without Hoda, when actress Taraji P. Henson was her co-host, Jenna joked, “I mean, I was a child bride, I got married at 26… and so I haven’t dated, and this is kind of my dating era. And you’re my first date! And I’m blushing.”

Jenna’s lighthearted and honest approach to both her personal life and career has endeared her to *Today* viewers. While she may not be able to share the screen with Hoda anymore, Jenna’s new era of co-hosts promises to bring fresh perspectives, while her down-to-earth personality continues to shine through. And despite the changes in her professional life, one thing remains constant: her deep connection with Henry and the love they share.
