Jenna Bush Hager<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about missing part of Today<\/em><\/strong><\/a> on Monday (August 10).<\/p>\n

Why Was Jenna Bush Hager Missing From ‘Today’?<\/h3>\n

The 44-year-old co-host noticeably was not present during the first two hours of the show as usual for her “Morning Boost” segment, but hosted the fourth hour with Sheinelle Jones<\/strong><\/a>. (Jenna<\/strong>‘s segment was instead presented by Savannah Guthrie<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>.)<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody kept asking me….I mean, I\u2019m not Jenna<\/strong>\u2019s keeper,\u201d Sheinelle<\/strong> joked of her co-host’s arrival, via People<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Where\u2019s Jenna<\/strong>? Sheinelle<\/strong>, where\u2019s Jenna<\/strong>? Is Jenna<\/strong> gonna make it?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018Well, she didn\u2019t text me, so that means it\u2019s gonna be just fine,’” she went on to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, I came in and I was like, \u2018Oh, no,\u2019” Jenna <\/strong>went on to say.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, I\u2019m straight off a flight because I was in Maine with my family and my little nephew got baptized,\u201d she revealed, referring to twin sister Barbara Pierce Bush<\/strong>\u2019s son Edward Finn Coyne<\/strong>, 2.<\/p>\n

A post shared by Jenna Bush Hager (@jennabhager)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jenna<\/strong> said she read Mary Oliver<\/strong>\u2019s poem \u201cWhen I Am Among the Trees” at the special ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was reading it, and it was in the church where I\u2019ve gone with my grandparents my whole life. My kids were baptized there. I mean, see, what is wrong?\u201d she said as she began choking up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s something evolutionary about looking up and seeing your twin sister hold this big ol\u2019 baby. I couldn\u2019t help it. I was kind of weepy. But it was so fun to have all the cousins together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey let me miss the earlier hours, so I\u2019m straight off a flight,” she added, saying the show was aware of her flight schedule.<\/p>\n
