Hoda Kotb made a heartfelt return to the 'Today' show where she addressed her decision to step down from her anchor role. She shared that her 5-year-old daughter, Hope, has been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, which influenced her move away from the spotlight to spend more time with her children. During her on-air return, she expressed the emotional burden of being away from Hope, stating that it compelled her to reassess her priorities. Kotb's transition reflects a profound commitment to her family's needs amid her successful broadcasting career.
As anyone with a child who has Type 1 [diabetes], especially a little kid, you're constantly watching, you're constantly monitoring, you're constantly checking, which is what I did all the time when I was on the 'Today' show. You're distracted.
I will miss you all desperately, but I'm ready and excited.
