Too Cute!Hoda Kotb’s ‘Today’ Co-Star Al Roker Meets Her Baby Daughter Haley for the First Time
Now this is adorable!
Al Roker took to Instagram on Thursday, March 2 to share adorable photos of himself meeting his Today co-star Hoda Kotb's baby daughter, Haley — and we're loving the sweet moment between the two!
"If you want an #antidote to everything going on, look into the face of heaven. Fell in love with @hodakotb's beautiful #HaleyJoy She smiled!!" Al, 62, captioned the cuter than cute snapshot of himself cuddling the little girl.
Hoda, 52, announced on Feb. 21 that she adopted a little girl while calling into the hit morning show. "I do have something to tell you," she told her co-host, Kathie Lee Gifford, and the rest of the gang. "But, you know what, how about this — instead of telling you, I'm going to show you something. Do you have a picture you can put up for me?"
As the first photo of Hoda holding her adorable infant daughter flashed across the screen she exclaimed, "It's a baby girl!"

"That little girl, Haley Joy… I'm crying… is my daughter!" Hoda said while holding back tears on the phone. "I adopted her."
Shortly after Hoda welcomed her bundle of joy, Closer Weekly exclusively revealed that she's ready to marry her boyfriend, Joel Schiffman, very soon!
"Most likely, they’ll tie the knot by early summer. She is over the moon," the insider told Closer, adding Hoda will likely take some extended time off from Today to care for little Haley and prepare for her upcoming wedding.

Hoda has been dating NYC financier Joel, 58, since 2013 and the couple moved in together last year. Though the TV star adopted daughter Haley as a single mother, Joel — who has an adult daughter of his own, Kyle, from a previous marriage — will be a big part of the little girl's life going forward.
"She never wanted to pressure Joel into doing anything. She was stunned when he suggested she and Haley move in with him," the source said. "They had long discussions about the future. Joel told Hoda he wants to marry her and raise Haley. Of course, she was thrilled." Too cute!
