Henry Hager, husband to Jenna Bush Hager, maintains clear boundaries regarding the public sharing of his family’s private life. During a recent discussion on her Today with Jenna & Friends show, the 43-year-old host revealed her husband’s reactions when personal stories are shared on her platform.
On the July 16 episode of her show, Bush Hager stated, “I think it’s in the same vein as when you’re writing. You’re like, ‘Wait, whose story is this? Am I telling my story or is this posting because the kids are doing something really cute?’”
Guest co-host Willie Geist reflected on the long-term implications, asking, “And will it embarrass them someday? It might feel funny and cute now, but if it’s up forever, will you regret posting it?”
Jenna, who married Henry in 2008 and shares three children—Mila, 12; Poppy, 9; and son Hal, 5—admitted that her husband is vigilant about protecting their family’s privacy.
“One of the great things about Henry is he always is thinking that way, he just believes we should have privacy as a family. So if I say something — maybe on this show — that gets pickup, he gets grumpy about it.” The TV personality noted that Henry’s approach helps her maintain perspective: “It helps me realize that I should be better for Mila, for Poppy and Hal.”
