Why Sesame Street? It's Haley's Favorite Show!
Hoda Kotb's decision to go with a Sesame Street-themed party wasn’t random. Just months before this adorable bash, Hoda and her fellow Today show colleagues took their kids to meet beloved characters like Elmo and Cookie Monster on the Sesame Street set. Clearly, this show has a special place in Haley's heart, making it the perfect theme for her big day.
Since adopting Haley, Hoda has been an open book about her journey as a mom. She frequently shares precious moments on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into her daughter’s life. Just last January, Hoda posted a video of Haley dancing around the house to Kim Richey's "Chinese Boxes." And who could forget the sweet Halloween clip where Haley went trick-or-treating? These moments remind us just how much joy Haley brings into Hoda’s world.

Hoda Reflects on Motherhood and Finding Joy in Life
In an interview with Life & Style, a close source revealed just how much Haley has transformed Hoda and Joel’s lives since they adopted her two years ago. "Joel thinks adopting Haley was the best decision they ever made," the source said. "Having a baby in the house has made them better people and strengthened their relationship. That’s why they added the name Joy to Haley’s name—it symbolizes the happiness she’s brought into their lives."
Hoda herself has spoken openly about the profound impact Haley has had on her. In a candid conversation with Us Weekly, she expressed, "I finally understand my purpose. I know why I’m here on this earth. All of a sudden, the most exciting part of my day isn’t interviewing celebrities—even if it’s Beyoncé! It’s coming home to hold my daughter." That’s powerful stuff, folks.
