Twin sisters Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush have ventured into the world of literature with their latest book, I Loved You First, which beautifully encapsulates the profound love between parents and their children. In a recent discussion, the sisters shared their insights about the book, their experiences as mothers, and the invaluable support they receive from their colleague, Hoda Kotb.
Jenna, who has embraced motherhood with a natural flair, expressed her gratitude for the support and connection she shares with Barbara. Their exchange during the interview frequently dipped into a playful “sister language,” showcasing the strong bond they have developed over the years. The sisters reflected on their lively dynamic, finding joy in their shared experiences and understanding, even as they acknowledged that others might not grasp the specifics of their shorthand.
Adding a touch of humor to the conversation, the sisters mentioned Chelsea Handler’s book, which includes a nod to them. Handler, in her vivid storytelling style, humorously played with the idea of being an honorary sister in their circle, which the twins embraced with laughter. They acknowledged the enriching friendships they've cultivated in adulthood, contrasting sharply with their youthful dreams of an exaggerated sisterhood that they would have "been arrested" for.
The conversation took a more reflective turn as Jenna discussed the transition of having to navigate co-hosting without Hoda, who has been a pillar of support. Jenna described Hoda as a "supportive amazing force," and her absence was notably felt. Saying goodbye was an emotional moment, and Jenna learned the importance of expressing love and appreciation, especially for those who play significant roles in our lives. Despite the challenge, Jenna has embraced a new chapter in her career, interacting with numerous co-hosts and cherishing the journey, which has further bonded the team.
At the core of their book, I Loved You First, lies a simple yet powerful message: the love of a parent for their child. Jenna emphasized how vital it is for children to go to bed knowing they are cherished and valued, acknowledging the profound impact that love has on their lives. The book aims to resonate both with parents and children, serving as a touching reminder of the parent-child relationship. The sisters envision their book as a source of comfort and connection, potentially evoking emotional responses that reflect the shared love and joy that exists within families.
