No, Hoda Kotb Hasn’t Announced a 2025 Wedding—or a New Fiancé

Recent social media posts claiming Hoda Kotb has set a 2025 wedding date and revealed a new fiancé are not supported by credible sources. Outlets that closely follow the Today co-host confirm she has not made any such announcement.

Speculation appears to stem from a December 2024 Today segment on “micro-weddings.” In that discussion, Kotb mused about what her own wedding might look like “when that day comes.” She did not mention a partner or set a timeline.

Nevertheless, in 2025, viral posts began circulating on Facebook and other platforms claiming Kotb had a “surprising new fiancé.” These came from low-credibility pages and offered no evidence or direct quotes.

Fans should treat such claims as rumor unless Kotb herself or a trusted outlet confirms them. To date, there has been no official statement about an engagement.

What Kotb has shared publicly is more grounded: life changes following her career shift, co-parenting with Schiffman, and remaining open to love without pressure. None of this includes wedding details.

For fans eager to celebrate her next chapter, the healthier focus is on what’s confirmed: her devotion to her daughters, her resilience after a public split, and her thoughtful reflections on the pace of love.

The takeaway is simple: beginnings don’t need gossip to be real. As Kotb herself suggested, life unfolds in its own time. Until then, her fans can cheer her journey as it is, not as rumor imagines it.
