Jenna Bush Hager celebrated her 16th wedding anniversary with her husband Henry Hager and her Today cohost Hoda Kotb. On the morning of their anniversary, Jenna woke up and realized her husband was not beside her. She looked out the window and saw Henry and Hoda having fun in the ocean, swimming at sunrise. Feeling a bit jealous, Jenna quickly put on her bathing suit and joined them by running and jumping in the water.

Kotb, 59, shared that she was a bit hesitant at first to go into the ocean but changed her mind after some encouraging words from Hager, 46. Hager told her, “Get in,” and despite Kotb mentioning that it was cold, he insisted, “Get in, look.” She mentioned that he gave her a motivational talk like he does with her, and suddenly she found herself swimming in the water, all the way in.

Bush Hager acknowledged that the water was not warm but playfully mentioned that she was a little disappointed that Kotb did the polar plunge with Henry instead of her.

Bush Hager recently celebrated her wedding anniversary and her husband Hager's birthday while filming back-to-back episodes of Today With Hoda & Jenna in Bermuda. She took to Instagram to share a sweet photo of the two of them, captioned with "Happy 16 years HH – still love you lots!" on Sunday, May 12.

In addition to their anniversary, Bush Hager also shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to her husband. She posted photos of Hager with their three kids - Mila, 11, Poppy, 8, and Hal, 4 - throughout the years. In her Instagram slideshow on Thursday, May 9, she wrote, "Happiest birthday to the best who never took to social media! Henry Hager, we love you with all we are! Been together for 20 birthdays... (still feel 26!)."

Kotb shared a special message on Instagram to honor the couple's multiple celebrations that coincided with Mother's Day. She posted a picture of herself with the duo, who got married in 2008, and wrote, "Happy birthday, happy anniversary, happy Mother's Day...Celebrate! Btw @jennabhager I love you dearly ❤️."
