Jenna Bush Hager has three kids.

"I would have had 22 children...not 22," she said, quickly correcting herself. "I had three, which feels like 21. I would have had one more. I would have rounded that out."

"It's never too late, though!" guest co-host Justin Sylvester quipped.

"Yeah, it's probably too late. It feels like that ship has sailed," Jenna expressed.

Jenna Bush Hager wanted a fourth child.

The media personality admitted she was "happy with two" kids until Hollywood medium Tyler Henry came on the show and told her a baby boy was coming.

"We kind of thought we were going to have two kids, and once he said that, and once I told my husband, I was like, 'I kind of want that,'" she remembered. "All I had to sort of think was, 'I want that.'"

Jenna Bush Hager thinks it's 'too late' to have another baby.

Jenna acknowledged how "so many people struggle[d] with fertility," including her mom, Laura Bush, and grandmother, Barbara Bush.

"I come from a long line of women that had major infertility issues, so I know how lucky I am," she said.

Jenna has three kids: Mila, 12, Poppy, 10, and Hal, 6.

Justin pointed out how even though she didn't see her youngest child coming, now, she can't picture her life without him.

"I know. You still have to come over and babysit that little guy! He's going to give you a run for his money," she exclaimed.

Jenna Bush Hager on Creating a 'Safe Spot' For Her Kids

Jenna Bush Hager shares children with Henry Hager.

During the Thursday, October 2, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Friends, Jenna emphasized how she wants to create a safe environment for her children at home.

"I hope my kids come home and they're like, 'Ah,'" she said. "Of course, there are moments they don't feel like that because mama's strict. But they can come, and they can just exhale. The problem with social media is they're never exhaling...the more we can be like, 'No, you're never going to feel like you fit perfectly, and that's okay."

She reminisced over a "simpler time" when she was in high school, where it was easier to "fit in."

"You probably felt like in places you couldn't fit in, but then you would go sit with your grandma, or you'd go wherever and have a little reprieve from the social impact of whatever," she recalled. "I feel so bummed for the kids of this generation because there's really no safe spot because of social media ... there were definitely moments [before] where you felt like you fit in. I felt like that term is so problematic because you could be yourself. That's the thing."
