During a recent episode, Jenna Bush Hager emotionally shared reflections on her daughter Mila's 12th birthday, marking a significant milestone as she enters her teenage years. Guest host Tyra Banks engaged in the conversation, sharing her own complex journey to motherhood, which involved prioritizing her career over starting a family until it was nearly too late. Banks offered sentimental insights, recounting her advance preparations for her child before his birth. The heartfelt moment captured the deep bond of motherhood as both women embraced their emotions on air.
"She's almost a teenager," the host said. She later asked her co-host, "Isn't being a mom one of the best things in the world?" prompting the model and TV personality to reflect on her complicated journey to motherhood.
"You know, Jenna, I remember being 24 years old, and I was saying, 'In three years, I'm gonna have a child.' 'In three years, in three years.' And I kept putting my career first and saying, 'three years, three years,' and then it was almost too late."
"I made a tile in my son's bedroom-before he was even born, I just had a kid bedroom there- and it said 'Mommy already loves you,'" Banks said as she went on to comfort and relate to Bush Hager, saying, "So I know. I see the tears and that mama thing. It's deep."
Bringing the segment to a close, Bush Hager wryly commented on the vulnerable start to today's episode, "We're crying over here. It's a Monday!"
