Hoda Kotb says she and her boyfriend
Joel Schiffman “might” get married in the future.
“Maybe, we might,” the Today co-anchor said while appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show when Ellen asked if they would ever get married.
“I feel like everything’s great. He’s Haley’s dad. I’m Haley’s mom. We’re together. I feel like there’s not a rush other than we’re old, and we probably, if we’re going to do it, we might as well do it. But I think it’s fun like this. I don’t mind it. … We’re enjoying our lives. Yeah, I think we’re good this way.”
