Jenna Bush Hager unveiled a strange new addiction that she has picked up on Thursday, with the Today host sharing insight into her surprising hobby.
Jenna took to her Instagram stories to share a picture of herself playing mahjong, a Chinese tile-based game traditionally played with four people.
The popular game sees players draw and discard tiles to form specific combinations, and it appears the mother of three is a huge fan of it.
"Do I have a mahjong addiction? @themahjongline," she captioned the post. How Jenna finds the time to play amid her busy schedule, one can only imagine.
Mahjong has a fan amongst the royals too, with Meghan Markle hosting a regular games night to play the game, dubbing her group of friends the 'Maj Squad'.

"My mom started the Texas Book Festival and I'm starting the Read With Jenna Book Festival!" she added.

Jenna's book club picks tend to skyrocket up the charts, with her co-host Craig Melvin sharing that almost two-thirds of the books became New York Times bestsellers after she featured them, while over half of them received film or TV adaptation offers.
Forever friends

The pair have remained extremely close following Hoda's departure, with the blonde beauty sharing that they still talk frequently.
"I talk to Hoda all the time. Not enough," she said. "I'd like to talk to her every day if I could and that's what I had, but the thing is, and this is the thing about Hoda, she still wakes up at 4:30 in the morning, which is insane."
Sisterly bond

"We started off as colleagues/friends. We didn't really know each other. Over the five years, there's such a deep understanding of the other's soul and purpose," the mother of two said.
"We have traveled down these roads together," she continued. "A lot of times friendships don't grow, you talk about the old days. Not ours. Like every day [there's] something different, something new, something we're learning."

"We are really good friends, and so it makes work easy and natural and fun because I adore who I am next to," she said, sharing that "sitting next to [Hoda] every single day for the last five years has been the best, best privilege."
