Hoda Kotb and Joel Schiffman shot down their co-parenting this Christmas.
The former couple wore matching pajamas as they celebrated the holiday with their daughters Haley, 8, and Hope, 6, on Thursday.
In a group shot taken on Instagram with the former Today show co-host’s mother Sameha Kotub and sister Hala Kotub, the four were all smiles.
“Merry Christmas 🎄❤️,” Hoda, 61, captioned the sweet snap.
She and Schiffman, 67, similarly vacationed together last year, this time wearing different matching jammies.
Journalists documented the 2024 celebrations, from eating “Dinner a la Joel” to watching an NFL game.
Mr. Hoda and Mr. Schiffman argued for an exit three years ago.
“Joel and I had a lot of prayer and really meaningful conversations over the holidays, and we decided we were better as friends and as parents,” the Daytime Emmy Award winner admitted in January 2022 after making headlines for ditching her engagement ring.
“People often say that relationships exist for a reason, for a season or a lifetime, and I feel like our relationship lasts for a season,” she continued, denying that anything bad “happened.”
The two have been dating since 2013, and Schiffman got down on one knee in 2019.
While together, they adopted Hailey and Hope in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
Hoda has praised her ex-partner’s parenting skills since their engagement broke off, opening up about how she co-parents with a “great father” in an August 2022 interview with People magazine.
“He’s scheduled for Saturday, I’m scheduled for Sunday. We switch every week,” the former “Dateline” correspondent explained to the magazine. “He’s going to take the girls and do some fun things, and I’m going to have some quiet time.”
She munched on a “healthy mix” and claimed “the kids really like it.”
Hoda gave rare insight into her love life in recent years, including three dates with a mystery man.
The NBC personality told Page Six last year that she was confident she would find love again.
“I can clearly see romance, that’s all I can do,” Hoda said in August 2024. “That’s how you know what something means.”
