'Today' Host Jenna Bush Hager Hints At Moving Out Of Connecticut

GREENWICH, CT — Jenna Bush Hager, the daughter of former President George W. Bush, hinted this week at what her next chapter might look like after living in Fairfield County for several years.

During the Aug. 6 episode of "Today with Jenna & Friends," Hager told her co-host Matt Rogers she'd like to move back to her home state of Texas at some point.

"I have this sort of dream. I just think everyone should have chapters in their lives. I have a dream - I don't know how realistic it is - but when the 'Jenna & Friends' chapter comes to a close... when I'm ready to go to my next chapter, I think it would be so nice to move back to Texas," Hager said.

Hager listed her Manhattan condo for $5.375 million in 2022, according to The Wall Street Journal, and later moved to Fairfield County with her family.

She has been spotted several times in Greenwich, and served on the board of the Greenwich International Film Festival.

Hager and her twin sister, Barbara, were born in Dallas, Texas, in 1981 and moved to Austin after their father became governor of the state in 1995, according to People. Hager met her husband, Henry Hager, while volunteering on her father's presidential campaign.

In 2009, Hager became a correspondent for "Today," and later replaced Kathie Lee Gifford as co-host with Hoda Kotb until Kotb's departure at the beginning of this year.

The Bushes, of course, are no strangers to Greenwich.

Hager's grandfather, President George H.W. Bush, spent his formative years in Greenwich when his father, Prescott Bush, was a U.S. Senator from Connecticut.

H.W. Bush attended Greenwich Country Day School, and also met his wife of 73 years, the late Barbara Bush, at a dance in town.

When H.W. Bush turned 18, he enlisted in the Navy and eventually flew 58 combat missions during World War II, his official White House biography says.

During one mission over the Pacific Ocean, Bush was shot down by Japanese anti-aircraft fire and he was rescued from the water by a U.S. submarine, according to his bio. H.W. Bush was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for bravery in action.

H.W. Bush served as the CIA director, ambassador to the United Nations and vice president before he was elected as the 41st president of the United States in 1992. He died on Nov. 30, 2018, at the age of 94.

Greenwich officials have expressed interest in erecting a statue of H.W. Bush to honor his legacy and roots in town.
