“I Just Became a Wife… Now I Might Lose My Daughter” — Hoda Kotb Faces Devastating Health Crisis With 6-Year-Old Daughter, Nation Sends Prayers 💔🙏
Just days after what was supposed to be the happiest chapter of her life — a romantic wedding in front of close friends and family — beloved TV personality Hoda Kotb is now facing a nightmare no parent ever wants to endure.
In an emotional segment and follow-up message to fans, Hoda revealed that her 6-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with a serious, undisclosed health condition that requires “round-the-clock care and urgent decisions.”
“I went from walking down the aisle in tears of joy to sitting in a hospital room begging for time,” she confessed, her voice trembling.
Though the exact condition has not been revealed publicly, sources close to the family have said that it came on unexpectedly and aggressively. Hoda and her husband, whose marriage was only recently celebrated in a private beachfront ceremony, are said to be “completely shattered but holding onto hope.”
“She’s strong. Stronger than we are. She smiled at me and said, ‘Mommy, I’m okay.’ But I could see in her eyes — she’s tired,” Hoda shared in a social media post that has since gone viral.
Across America, fans and fellow celebrities have flooded the internet with messages of love, strength, and prayer. “No one deserves this, especially not Hoda,” one user commented. “She’s given the world so much warmth — now it’s time to give some back.”
NBC and her “Today” show family have also expressed their support. “She’s one of us, and we are walking this road with her,” one colleague said.
For now, Hoda has stepped back from work to remain at her daughter’s side full-time. The only request she’s made of the public? “Just keep praying. She’s still fighting.”
