Hoda Kotb is moving from fast-paced mornings at the “Today” show to a more leisurely suburban lifestyle with her children.
Page Six has heard that the cherished journalist recently purchased a home in Bronxville, New York, in an effort to start again, before to formally announcing her departure from the morning news program after 26 years on the show.
In an Instagram post on August 19, home builder EC Builders Inc. revealed that they had been given the responsibility of renovating Kotb’s new property in just a “couple of months,” in conjunction with Rona Schloss’s ideas.
“We completed the remodel project just in time for Hoda Kotb and her family to move in with a few weeks to spare at the end of the summer,” according to EC Builders Inc.
The presenter, who is divorced from Joel Schiffman and has two daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, looked happy with the remodeling’s result as she grinned broadly from her couch.

There is a yellow brick road that passes through the residential historic quarter of Kotb’s charming English-style village. Surrounding it are stores, eateries, and residences dating back to the 1800s and the 1960s.
Bronxville, which ranks No. 8 on Bloomberg’s list of “America’s 100 Richest Places” in 2018, is regarded as a “affluent” town as well.
But as one inhabitant put it to the New York Times, “It’s not fancy or flashy.” It is busy all day long.
“Everyone walks, even children,” another person said, “but we’re only 30 minutes from Grand Central.”
It is nevertheless rather near to the Big Apple even if it is not in the bustling Manhattan area.
