JUST IN: Hoda Kotb Officially Announces Her Upcoming Wedding in 2025—And the Groom’s ‘Surprising Identity’!

Beloved Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world with a joyful announcement: she’s getting married in 2025—and the identity of her fiancé has caught many by surprise.

During a live segment on Today this morning, Kotb, 60, shared the exciting news with her signature warmth and candor. “I have some personal news,” she said, her co-hosts gasping in anticipation. “I’m getting married next spring!”

The studio erupted in applause and cheers, but what truly stunned viewers was the reveal of her groom-to-be: Dr. Jonathan Michaels, a 55-year-old pediatric oncologist based in Boston, who is largely unknown to the public and reportedly met Kotb through a mutual friend at a charity fundraiser in 2023.

“He’s not a celebrity, not in the spotlight,” Kotb explained. “But he’s the most grounded, compassionate man I’ve ever met. I wasn’t looking for love—but it found me.”

Sources close to the couple say the two have been quietly dating for nearly two years and managed to keep their relationship out of the public eye despite Kotb’s high profile.

This will be Kotb’s second marriage. She was previously engaged to financier Joel Schiffman, with whom she shares two daughters, Haley and Hope. The couple amicably split in early 2022.

Kotb’s announcement was met with an outpouring of support from fans, colleagues, and fellow celebrities. Al Roker was among the first to publicly congratulate her, calling the news “beautiful and long overdue.”

The wedding is expected to take place in early summer 2025 at an undisclosed location, with only close friends and family in attendance. “We want it to be intimate, joyful, and centered around love,” Kotb said.

While details are still unfolding, one thing is clear—America’s morning sweetheart has found her happily ever after, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
