The pair soon bonded over family life, with the Today star even inspiring the Skims founder with a parenting hack she uses on her two young daughters, Haley and Hope.

While talking about their children, Hoda told Kim: "My favorite parenting hack when asking my kids something when I want to know more is asking them, 'Tell me more'.
