Who is hoda kotb parents

Hoda Kotb has remained single after she broke up with her long-term boyfriend and fiance, Joel Schiffman, in 2019 after adopting two girls along with him.

The relationship between Kotb and her longtime partner, Joel, was over after the couple had dated for nearly seven years. The former couple has been separated since becoming engaged in November 2019 and has been in a relationship since 2013.

After the breakup, the journalist seems more focused on her professional career and shows no sign of dating anyone in the present context. She has not openly accepted her relationship, even if she has been romantically involved with anyone.

Her Instagram platform, where she is available under the username @hodakotb, with more than 2.1 million followers and an officially verified account, also does not seem to have any clue regarding her romantic relationship or involvement with someone.

The journalist was previously married to Burzis Kanga, who worked as a tennis instructor at the University of New Orleans from 2005 to 2007. After her divorce, she became romantically involved with Joel, and after their breakup, Hoda seems to be currently single.

Kotb added, "Its not like something happened. They say sometimes relationships are meant to be there for a reason, a season or a lifetime, this was for a season."
