What Did Jenna Bush Hager Say About Leaving Her Today Show

Jenna Bush Hager, the host of Today With Jenna & Friends, recently revealed her plans for the future on the show. She has been on the daytime talk show since 2019, but it seems that she has made up her mind about what she intends to do in the future.

Is Jenna Bush Hager leaving Today With Jenna & Friends?

Jenna Bush Hager is not immediately leaving Today with Jenna & Friends, but she revealed in the latest episode of her show, on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, that she is indeed open to moving back to her hometown. She claimed that she would want to move back to Austin, Texas, after this show, or her role in the show, comes to an end. She joined the show six years ago.

“I have this sort of dream — I just think everybody should have chapters in their lives. So, I have a dream, I don’t know how realistic it is, but when this chapter, when the Jenna & Friends chapter has come to a close…” Bush Hager said about her potential future exit to guest host Matt Rogers.

When Rogers countered, asking why that would ever happen, the host replied, “Well, linear television, baby! Who knows?”

She also revealed that her kids becoming teenagers is also another reason she is considering moving back to Austin. “When I’m ready to go to my next chapter, I think it’d be so nice to move back to Texas and let my kids — I went to a big public high school — like, have a different life,” she added.

As many know, Hager grew up with her twin sister, Barbara, and very famous parents, George W. Bush and Laura Bush, in Texas. She previously taught at educational institutions in Washington, D.C., before becoming a Today correspondent.

While she is not exiting immediately, with this revelation, it is now clear that she may leave soon.
