During the Thursday, September 25, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Friends, Sheinelle Jones called out the talk show host, 43, for her previous delinquent behavior.

Jenna Bush Hager has two daughters.

"I didn't sneak out, really. I didn't do anything," Jones said, while Bush Hager glanced off to the side with a guilty facial expression. "I just hope that [my kid] is like me. If I had a little Jenna, I wouldn't know how to parent that."

"My parents didn't either," the mom-of-three quipped.

"Shoutout to your mom because you turned out okay," Jones, 47, insisted, while Bush Hager agreed she wound up "just fine."

The Today host — who recently returned to television months after her husband's death —asked her friend for warning signs that her child might be acting out.

"I have a question. When you are being rebellious, is it just like, 'So what?' What do I need to know?" she inquired.

"I don't remember. I'm old now," Bush Hager said.

The mom shares daughters Mila, 12, and Poppy, 9, as well as son Hal, 5, with husband Henry Hager.

The media personality previously confessed to her wild past on the Monday, August 11, episode of Today. During her "Morning Boost" segment, she drew similarities between herself and a social media star with a father in the Secret Service.

"This is for anyone who thinks they were raised by strict parents. May I introduce you to Ashley Hicks," she said. "She caught the attention of millions online sharing her experiences growing up with her dad, who just happened to be a Secret Service agent. She shares the typical teenage experiences that many got away with, but she never could."

Jenna Bush Hager was previously arrested.

Jenna — the daughter of former President George W. Bush — had her own strict upbringing.

"Listen, Ashley. I, too, couldn’t get away with much because I was followed by men with fanny packs that were concealing things," she explained.

Co-host Craig Melvin teased her and insisted she "[got] away with a fair amount."

"I was arrested! There’s a mugshot that says I didn’t get away with it," she spilled. "No, I wasn’t really arrested like that."

Jenna Bush Hager got in trouble for drinking alcohol as a teenager.

Jenna was charged with possession of alcohol as a minor in Texas in April 2001. The following month, she got arrested again for using a fake ID to buy drinks.

In 2023, she clarified that she was never actually behind bars.

"I didn’t actually go to jail, I just was arrested," she told Hoda Kotb in 2023. "I wasn’t even arrested; I was never detained. I just got a minor in possession of alcohol when I was 20 years old because I ordered a margarita at Chuy’s with a fake ID."
