Bush Hager talked about her mission of finding her cohost a new man back in October 2022, saying at the time: "She needs a very, very special person. She of course deserves the smartest, the funniest and the man with the biggest heart so that is a big, tall order. But she's going to find that person. I have no doubt."

Kotb asked Bush Hager to help her with her dating life earlier that month, knowing she was "really good at setting people up."

"That is a challenge that I am going to go for," Bush Hager exclaimed at the time.
