Hoda Kotb’s Today Absence Explained

Hoda Kotb‘s absence from Today has been explained.

Fans of the NBC morning show have grown concerned in recent days as the anchor continues to be missing from her Today chair. However, during the March 1 broadcast, Craig Melvin shared an update on his friend.

“Hoda is OK,” he said. “She’s got a family health matter that she’s been dealing with.” No further details were shared publicly at this time.

While Hoda, who has not been seen on Today since mid-February, hasn’t directly addressed her absence from the spotlight, she has shared a few quotes on social media in recent days. On Feb. 27, the 58-year-old journalist posted an image to her Instagram that read, “Chose hope,” captioning the post with two heart emojis.

Over the weekend, the mom of two shared another quote to Instagram that said, “Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.” Hoda captioned the post, “Happy sunday xo.”
