LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jenna Bush Hager has admitted that she likes it when other women flirt with her husband, Henry Hager.

During Today's 'Girl Code' segment on Monday, March 18, Jenna and co-host Hoda Kotb offered advice to one of their female viewers who expressed concern about a friend constantly flirting with her husband.

While Kotb was deeply shocked to hear someone else hitting on her man, Jenna, surprisingly joked that she is not bothered with such instances.

“This might be weird but sometimes I like it when people flirt with Henry,” Jenna admitted, according to Decider. “I’m just like, ‘Baby girls still got it!'” She clarified, “[It’s] because I am very secure in our relationship.”

Jenna Bush Hager on how would she feel if her husband Henry Hager flirts with a woman

Kotb cheekily asked Jenna how would she react if she ever caught Henry “flirting back” with a girl. “If it’s a very small amount I find it attractive,” Jenna said. “He wouldn’t do it a lot — but also we don’t really go anywhere.”

Kotb, for her part, said she “can’t bear” when someone flirts with her partner in front of her.

“Someone pawing all over your husband? It’s like, ew,” the 59-year-old said. “Yuck.”

However, both women seemingly agreed that the best way to call out a friend crossing the line is to make a joke out of it.

“I think you’re just like, ‘Hey! Sue, he’s mine!’” Jenna offered. “I think you have to make a joke of it.”

“Get your paws off!” Kotb added, agreeing that you have to “have some fun” with it.

Hoda Kotb has been single for two years

Although Jenna and Henry have been happily married for 15 years, Kotb has been single for two years following her January 2022 split from former fiance Joel Schiffman.

Recently, the mother of two went on a third date with a mystery man who was introduced to her by Jenna.

Kotb told 'Entertainment Tonight' last week that she and her romantic partner were having “fun” together and that she “had a great time” on their last date.

Kotb was spotted walking with a handsome man around Midtown Manhattan a few days later.
