Hoda Kotb and Ina Garten Reunite for the Sweetest Cozy Catch-Up

Hoda Kotb shared a heart-melting photo dump to Instagram on Sunday, November 9, giving fans an update on her mix of family fun and work engagements.

The beloved former Today show host, 61, beams as she stands arm-in-arm inside a warm, book-filled living room with Ina Garten, 77, the iconic cookbook author and culinary legend.

Kotb keeps it classic and chic in a soft white sweater paired with relaxed wide-leg patchwork jeans, while Garten keeps it Barefoot Contessa style in a simple black button-down. The two look like they’re mid-reunion — glowing smiles, warm hug, total “best-friend energy.”

A pure joy moment involving her daughters with friends taking over a spotless, creamy white kitchen as they make smoothies. The kids — giggling, focused and clearly running the show.

The real scene-stealer of the post is the family dog, Waffles. She is stretched across a plush gray dog bed looking like she is ready for some cuddles.
