Since Hoda’s exit from Today, Jenna has had a new guest host join her on the show each week.

This week, Matt Rogers sat beside the stunning journalist as they jointly fronted Jenna & Friends.

While the pair were chatting about music, Jenna made a bombshell confession that left viewers stunned.

Jenna revealed the WOMAN she would leave her husband – Henry Chase Hage – for, leaving viewers open-jawed.

 

“Brandi Carlile is the woman I would leave my husband for,” Jenna said in the shock confession.

“Wow, does the audience know that,” Matt said.

“I feel like a true journalist now,” he added, “because I’m telling you, I’m breaking the news.”

 

 

INNOCENT BEGINNING

The conversation actually began in a rather innocent way as Jenna recalled attending a concert.

“We went to the Elton John concert on the White House lawn,” Jenna explained, adding how it took place two years ago.

She said: “We went and it was amazing because he’s doing his goodbye performances.”

Matt then asked: “Did you hear the record with Brandi Carlile?” which was when Jenna made her bombshell confession.

After saying Brandi would be the woman she’d leave her husband for, Jenna added: “I’m not sure I’ve ever said it exactly straight up, but she is.”

She later added: “I’m not leaving my husband.”

 

 

‘GET IN LINE, JENNA’

Pointing to her wedding ring, Jenna said: “There’s a ring. I’m wearing it.”

NBC’s Today show premiered in 1952 and has bidden viewers good morning every weekday since, adding Saturday and Sunday shows in the 1980s and 1990s. The show’s current host lineup includes:

 

Reacting to Jenna’s confession, fans of the show were quick to chime in.

One person joked: “Get in line, @jennaandfriends. And it’s a very long line!”

“Same, JBH, same,” agreed a second.

A third penned: “A hall pass knows no gender, just vibes.”

 

 

NEW CO-HOST?

While a fourth wrote: “I think Jenna & Matt should be a full time thing, don’t we think?”

But since Hoda’s departure, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Sheinelle Jones is to officially replace Hoda as Jenna’s co-host after she’s back from family leave.

According to a source, Sheinelle, 46, “has the job” but added how there will not be an announcement until after her leave of absence has ended.

She has been away from Today since December, and has been silent on social media as well.

Sheinelle only returned to Instagram briefly on January 15 to issue a statement about her coping with a “family health matter.”
