Hoda Kotb has fans speculating that she's rekindled her relationship with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman after she was spotted wearing a ring on the Today show. The 60-year-old broadcaster, who is preparing to exit the NBC program on January 10 after 26 years at the network, was seen fiddling with the piece of jewelry during Thursday's episode which she fronted alongside Laura Jarrett and Dylan Dreyer.

Eagle-eyed viewers could see that Hoda wore a ring on her fourth finger on her left hand - the same hand and finger that engagement rings are typically worn on. Sharing their findings on her social media, many hoped that Hoda was giving a subtle signal that she's back with Joel, 66.

'Did anyone else notice the ring on Hoda's left hand this morning?' one wrote on her Instagram page. 'I was waiting for an announcement,' another replied. 'At one point she was fiddling with it, sliding it up and down. I was really hoping her and Joel were back together.'.

A third said: 'I noticed on her yesterday while she was broadcasting the Rose Parade with Al Roker.'. 'Yes, I noticed that too and I was waiting for her to make an announcement also,' wrote a fourth. Hoda Kotb was spotted wearing a ring on her engagement finger on the Today show.

The anchor, 60, fiddled with the piece of jewelry during Thursday's episode. 'She seemed exceptionally giddy this morning and I thought maybe it was because she's looking forward to her time off after next week. 'But then I noticed the ring and I wondered if something else was going on.'.
