“I
knew
about
10
minutes
before
the
show
started,”
Dylan
said. “Which,
I
think,
is
when
everybody
kind
of
found
out.”
But
despite
the
unexpected
news,
several
members
of
The
Today
Show
were
on
hand
to
support
Hoda—who
is
mom
to
daughters,
Haley,
7,
and Hope,
5—as
she
delivered
the
update
on
air.
“I
realized
that
it
was
time
for
me
to
turn
the
page
at
60,
and
to
try
something
new,”
Hoda
said
through
tears. “I
remembered
standing
outside
looking
at
these
beautiful
bunch
of
people
with
these
gorgeous
signs,
and
I
thought, ‘This
is
what
the
top
of
the
wave
feels
like
for
me.’
And
I
thought
it
can’t
get
better,
and
I
decided
that
this
is
the
right
time
for
me
to
kind
of
move
on.”
She
went
on
to
share
that
she
plans
to
focus
more
on
her
family.
“Obviously
I
had
my
kiddos
late
in
life,
and
I
was
thinking
that
they
deserve
a
bigger
piece
of
my
time
pie
that
I
have,”
she
continued. “I
feel
like
we
only
have
a
finite
amount
of
time.
And
so,
with
all
that
being
said,
this
is
the
hardest
thing
in
the
world.”
