Jenna Bush Hager bared that planning intimacy with her husband, Henry Hager, has become an essential part of the couple’s busy lives. During a candid chat on Today’s fourth hour with guest co-host Olivia Munn, the mom-of-three didn’t hold back about the realities of parenthood and romance.
The conversation kicked off with a light-hearted clip featuring Maury Povich, who playfully revealed his own Sunday traditions with wife Connie Chung. "I feel s--- on Sundays," the 86-year-old said during a recent episode of his "On Par with Maury Povich" podcast.
"It’s always been. Everybody says, 'Can we play golf on Sunday? Nope. Sunday is with Connie,'" he dished out while bantering with his beloved.
While hosting 'Today' with Olivia Munn, Jenna Bush Hager got candid about scheduling intimacy with husband Henry.
"They hinted that Sundays for them really aren't for rest," the 44-year-old actress chimed in after watching the segment with Jenna.
"They’ve been married 40 years, and they’re still romantic and cute," Munn added with admiration.
Jenna, 43, couldn’t agree more. "I didn’t know that I could love either one of them more than I possibly do," she exclaimed, as the women laughed together.
Jenna Bush Hager shares three kids with her husband.
But the smiles turned to giggles when Olivia posed a bold question. "Do you schedule?" she asked, not shying away from the personal topic. Jenna knew exactly where this was going.
"Now, here’s the thing. When you have multiple children, you’ll see, sometimes you have to, like, you kind of have to [...] And I don’t love it, but otherwise, then it doesn’t happen the way it used to. Because there’s people everywhere pulling on you," Jenna answered.
When Olivia tried to keep the conversation going about her own love life, she couldn’t help but mimic the motion of zipping her lips, prompting laughter from the studio.
