The Today with Hoda & Jenna star shared a photo with one of her children in which they’re both wearing masks, but it didn't garner the response she was hoping for.

She captioned the photo: "Mask-to-mask kisses the new Butterfly kiss?? How much I love this one and her precious siblings.
Before adding: "BTW: we live in New York City, a city I love, where all three of my kids were born. I wear a mask to protect anyone vulnerable walking down the street. Wearing a mask isn't political. Some of the comments on here make me downright sad."
Jenna was no doubt referring to some followers who had begged her to "stop with the masks" and branded them "useless".
She was also accused of "promoting them as normalcy".

"It was great," she said of the reunion. "We got COVID-19 tests to go and see them.
"Mila is now waking up at 5 am in the morning because she was there waking up, running down to be with her Grammy and Jefe, and I just think even little moments of being with family (are special)."
