Jenna Bush Hager Has A Surprising Weekend Story To Share Of Today, Complete With Video
Jenna first gained national attention as the daughter of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States. Following this, she gained further fame through her work on Today. Currently, she co-hosts the program’s fourth hour alongside Sheinelle Jones.
In her personal life, Jenna has been married to Henry Hager since 2008. The couple has three children: Mila, Poppy, and Hal.
During a recent airing of the Fourth Hour, Jenna sat down with Sheinelle and opened up about an incident that took place over the weekend. She explained that she maintained an estate away from the city with her spouse.
The Family’s Cat Proved To Be The Hero Of The Day
Over the weekend, however, they were greeted by an uninvited intruder: a chipmunk. Her daughter Mila filmed the entire incident and, as shared in the clip, she could be heard constantly begging, “Don’t kill it!”
For her part, Jenna could be heard calling on her husband, “Henry, get it! You’re the man!” The family’s cat, Maisie, also appeared to get involved in the incident.
On the show, Jenna explained, “There was a little chaos,” at her home, something Sheinelle called an “understatement.” Jenna shared that they were leaving to pick up Poppy from a birthday party at the time. However, the animal got in through the door just as they were about to leave.
Fans Were Asked On The Show’s Social Media If They Were A ‘Jenna,’ ‘Henry,’ Or ‘Mila’
According to Jenna, Maisie eventually chased the chipmunk out of the house, as Henry held open the door. In the moment, she recalled calling on the family to “secure the perimeters.”
For her part, Sheinelle shared that she would “die” if that happened to her. All the while, she also gave Henry credit for how he handled the situation.
The moment was also shared on the program’s social media. Fans were even asked the question: “Are you a Jenna, a Henry, or a Mila in this situation?” Thanks to this, many fans shared their reactions to the funny moment. Some comments included:
- “‘Secure the perimeters’ you can tell that she heard that before.”
- “It wouldn’t occurred to me to scream ‘secure the perimeter’ but it’s what naturally happens when something runs inside the house.”
- “I have actually had a bat and a mouse come into my home. No chance of my reaction being like Henry when the bat came in. Total Jenna for me. As for the mouse I was more like Jenna on that one too. Wish I was like Henry though.”
- “We had one in our house. It was in the basement and we had the kitchen blocked off so it couldn’t get in the house any further. My husband took a box of Cheez-its and made a trail from the bottom of the basement steps out the back door. And that’s how the chipmunk left our house. Shout out to Cheez-its!”
