Jenna Bush Hager has had an eventful year at work, having said goodbye to her Fourth Hour co-host Hoda Kotb back in January, resulting in a big formatting change on the show.
Now, the NBC star is waving off another colleague, as they move onto a new position.
Luckily, Jenna will still be working alongside them, and although she hasn't disclosed where, it's likely to be involving her company, Read with Jenna.

"We definitely want somebody permanent at some point just because that's our show, and I think the Today show is such a family," she told People at the Read with Jenna book festival in Nashville, although clarified that they're still "searching" for that perfect fit.

Jenna has kept in touch with Hoda since she left the show and the pair recently reunited on May 28, when the latter came on as a guest.
Jenna described the reunion as "so nice" and continued to say: "Even if time goes by, there's a connection that is undeniable, and I felt that way being with her. I just felt like my nervous system kind of relaxed and it was so nice to be with her. There could have been no better reunion. It felt really great."
She added that she was happy for Hoda, who is "in such an exciting place of her next chapter and she's so excited about it."
