Jenna Bush Hager Debuts Bob Haircut, Kids React Negatively on Live TV

Jenna Bush Hager debuted a dramatic new bob haircut inspired by Leslie Bibb on the June 17 episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, with celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan cutting her hair live on air the previous day. While Bush Hager felt “lighter” and received praise from her husband Henry Hager, who called the look “hot” and dismissed their daughter Poppy's criticism by saying she “don’t know fashion,” her three children had a strong negative reaction, with Mila saying she didn’t like it, Poppy questioning why she did it, and Hal crying. Bush Hager shared a video of the kids' reactions, joking that their tears were “fake crying,” which she called their “love language.” Guest co-host Leslie Bibb complimented Bush Hager’s look as “sexy and powerful and glamorous,” while also joking about children’s attachment to long hair as tied to fairytales and princess imagery. The reveal sparked positive reactions from viewers on social media, with many praising the haircut as cute and stylish.
