Mika has often reflected on motherhood, sharing her thoughts candidly through social media. In a poignant May 2023 post on MSNBC, she expressed deep gratitude for her daughters.
"This year, my girls have stepped up for me in ways I couldn't imagine years ago. And I am so grateful," she shared after the loss of her mother, Emilie Benes Brzezinski, the previous year.

"And when your daughters develop their own relationships, navigate their first careers, or decide to have kids, they'll go through great highs and low lows – and they'll begin to realize they need their moms a lot more than they thought," she continued. "So, in the really tough moments, (especially if you feel like you have to walk on eggshells) know that your daughter also loves you so much, and she is likely still learning who she is and how to express herself. I hope the young women out there learn this lesson faster than I did."

In addition to her two daughters, Joe has four children with his exes. He has also opened up about how his relationship with how his father has influenced his parenting style.
"My view of fatherhood has changed through the years. I'm 55 now, and it took me about 50 years to understand just what being a good father is," Joe shared with MSNBC in June 2018. "I look back at my own father, and while we had a great relationship, I did what a lot of children do – we judge some of the things our parents did, nitpick about things we didn't agree with."
Joe Scarborough has four children.
"But the older I got, the more I realized how blessed I was to have him always there. He was there when we went to church, when we were getting ready for school, for my baseball games. He was a constant presence in our lives and that's what counts," he reflected. "Someone once told me, 'There's no such thing as quality time. Fatherhood is all about quantity. You can't water a plant once a month – you have to be there day in, day out.' That's something I've always remembered. More than anything, I judge myself as a father."
