And this year, the two will be spending Christmas together with the rest of Kotb's family at her new home in Bronxville, New York. 'For us, our Christmas isn’t huge ‘cause it’s me, my kids, my mom, my sister, Joel,' Kotb shared during the December 24 episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna, which was pre-filmed.

'We get together. That’s the group, and it’s kind of just a cozy Christmas. So, we’ll put out cookies tonight for Santa and carrots. He always seems to like the cookies more,' Kotb continued. The couple had been dating for six years when they got engaged, but decided to call it quits just a few years later.

The journalist announced the news of her split while she was live on-air in January 2022. 'Joel and I have had a lot of prayer and meaningful conversations over the holidays and we decided that we are better as friends and parents than we are as an engaged couple,' the talk show host said at the time.
