A photo was then shared from her Instagram Stories, which also included co-star Savannah Guthrie's family, celebrating their anniversary with their own family in tow.

"Oh my god, what a great shot, that's you and the Guthrie crowd," Hoda reacted, and then added: "It's fine. I don't feel jealous, I honestly don't.
