Hoda Kotb got candid about her marriage to Burzis Kanga and why she would do things differently if given the chance.

“We let the idea that we should be married by now influence us,” Kotb, 61, wrote in her Jump and Find Joy: Embracing Change in Every Season of Life memoir, which is out now. “So, instead of us taking the opportunity to part ways and stay solo, he came out to visit and proposed during a Central Park horse ride … and I said yes.”

Kotb recalled thinking that she “might as well” before accepting Kanga’s proposal.

“I didn’t jump into marriage as much as I slipped into it. We are comfortable together, it was time, and it seemed like the logical step,” she detailed about how the then-couple thought it “would be fine” for them. “And for a while it was.”
