Hoda Kotb is feeling all the love this Mother’s Day.

“Lucky me!” Kotb, 59, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 11, one day before the holiday. “Happy mother’s day ️️.”

The Today co-host received a special gift from her daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 5, for Mother's Day. They decorated frames with colorful markers and wrote sweet notes, such as "You are a great mom." The frames were adorned with gold and floral Mother’s Day-themed stickers on a table.

In another photo, Haley and Hope were seen smiling as they paddled around in swim floaties. Kotb also took a selfie with her daughters while enjoying a meal in the pool.

Kotb welcomed Haley and Hope through adoption with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman in 2017 and 2019. They got engaged in 2019 but unfortunately broke up three years later.

In March, the mother of two mentioned that she started dating again. Recently, she mentioned that she went on two dates with a mystery man.

On the Friday, May 10 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Kotb revealed that she hadn't been on a date in two years since her past relationship ended.

She mentioned that she was previously married to Burzis Kanga from 2005 to 2008 and shared that she is now going on a third date with her new beau.

She mentioned that it was refreshing to have conversations that didn't revolve around children or work. Instead, it was just about life, which she missed. Plus, she mentioned that he is quite good-looking.

Although she didn't specifically mention who, Kotb shared that she felt like she was trying to please her partner in her last relationship.

She explained, "If he was happy, then I would be happy. I wanted him to be happy. I wasn’t myself." She continued, "And now, I’ve reached a point where if the date’s not for me, it’s OK. I’ll say, ‘Oh, my God. This was so much fun. You’re a really nice guy.’ Like, I don’t mind being myself and being confident and knowing what I want. I’m not twisting myself in a pretzel to make everybody feel good all the time because I’ve done that for most of my life, and it was exhausting."

When it comes to a new relationship, Kotb shared that she's searching for "someone who has been in some kind of stable relationships and knows what it’s like to love someone as much as we love our kids."
