See Hoda Kotb & Ex Joel Schiffman Halloween Reunion With Daughters

And though it’s been four years since the former morning show host ended her engagement to Schiffman, her bond with the financier will always remain strong.

“I loved Joel then, and I love Joel now,” Kotb said on Today last year. “I just had to remind myself that it was a different kind of love.”

In fact, she believes their current dynamic is “the right relationship for us to have.”

“We will co-parent in a beautiful way,” Kotb shared, “but I also think our ‘us’ is more of a, like, we’re dear friends now. And that’s beautiful, and it’s enjoyable and it feels right.”

That’s also because she and Schiffman are “honest” about their co-parenting relationship.

“Kids catch pretending. They know that Joel and I care so much for each other, and they also know that we love them dearly,” Kotb added. “I really adore Joel, and they know it. I’m not pretending, I’m not faking it. So, once they see that, they go, ‘Ah, OK. This is good. This is good for us.’”
