Hoda Kotb reveals that the daughter about the diagnosis influenced her “Today” departure

Hoda Kotb, an “The Today Show” host, talks about the deepest reasons he decided to leave his place.

Kotb, 60, said that spending more time with the two daughters, including 8 -year -old Haley, was one of his motivations for leaving.

“Like anyone with a child who has type 1, especially a young child, you are constantly looking at, you are constantly watching, you are constantly checking, which is what I did all the time when I was [at ‘Today’]”She said.” You are distracted. ”

“You’re constantly looking at, you’re in effect, you’re constantly checking.”

“You have just performed a priority in your life,” Kotb said to the co-anancores Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin during the segment. “I can be here and sweat what happens in the morning hope and at night, or I can be there and feel relief.”

Kotb emphasized that he tries not to “put his concern” to hope, adding that his daughter is “well for most of the day.”

“There are just times when you have to see,” Kotb said. “I totaled it, five minutes at breakfast, five minutes at lunch, five minutes at dinner, sometimes overnight.”

“Add it, this is half an hour. So, for 23 and a half hours, it is every child. So I try to remember.”

Kotb shared with Today.com that the first symptoms of Hope imitated the flu and were so serious that he had to be “directed” to the hospital.

“They are children and give them what they need when they need it.”

Now that Kotb knows how to manage Hope’s state, he offers his space to be a regular child, he said.
